Detailed Description

A plugin that demonstrates how to set shader parameters of a material used by a visual.

Plugin parameters:

Shader parameter - can be repeated within plugin SDF element <name> Name of uniform bound to the shader <type> Type of shader, i.e. vertex, fragment

Value to set the shader parameter to. The value string can be an int, float, or a space delimited array of floats. It can also be 'TIME', in which case the value will be bound to sim time.

Example usage:

///    <plugin name="shader_param" filename="libShaderParamVisualPlugin.so">
///
///      <!-- Sets a fragment shader uniform name "ambient" to color red -->
///      <param>
///        <name>ambient</name>
///        <type>fragment</name>
///        <value>1.0 0.0 0.0 1.0</value>
///      </param>
///    </plugin>
///

Create()

static TPtr Create ( const std::string &  _filename, const std::string &  _name  )

inlinestaticinherited

a class method that creates a plugin from a file name.

It locates the shared library and loads it dynamically.

Parameters

[in]	_filename	the path to the shared library.
[in]	_name	short name of the plugin

Returns

Shared Pointer to this class type

GetFilename()

std::string GetFilename ( ) const

inlineinherited

Get the name of the handler.

GetHandle()

std::string GetHandle ( ) const

inlineinherited

Get the short name of the handler.

GetType()

PluginType GetType ( ) const

inlineinherited

Returns the type of the plugin.

Returns

type of the plugin

Init()

virtual void Init ( )

inlinevirtualinherited

Initialize the plugin.

Called after Gazebo has been loaded. Must not block.

Load()

virtual void Load ( rendering::VisualPtr  _visual, sdf::ElementPtr  _sdf  )

virtual

Load function.

Called when a Plugin is first created, and after the World has been loaded. This function should not be blocking.

Parameters

[in]	_visual	Pointer the Visual Object.
[in]	_sdf	Pointer the the SDF element of the plugin.

Implements VisualPlugin.

LoadParam() [1/2]

void LoadParam ( const sdf::ElementPtr &  _sdf, const std::string &  _name, V &  _target, V  _defaultValue = V()  ) const

inlineprotectedinherited

Load parameter value from _sdf and store it to the given reference, using the supplied default value if the element in _sdf is not found.

A message is written using gzmsg reporting whether the default value was used or not.

Parameters

[in]	_sdf	The SDF element of the plugin.
[in]	_name	Name of a tag inside the SDF.
[out]	_target	The reference to store the param value to.
[in]	_defaultValue	The default value.

LoadParam() [2/2]

void LoadParam ( sdf::ElementPtr &  _sdf, const std::string &  _name, std::string &  _target, const char *  _defaultValue  ) const

inlineprotectedinherited

Load parameter value from _sdf and store it to the given reference, using the supplied default value if the element in _sdf is not found.

A message is written using gzmsg reporting whether the default value was used or not. String specialization to allow accepting const char* values for std::string parameters.

Parameters

[in]	_sdf	The SDF element of the plugin.
[in]	_name	Name of a tag inside the SDF.
[out]	_target	The reference to store the param value to.
[in]	_defaultValue	The default value.

Reset()

virtual void Reset ( )

inlinevirtualinherited

Override this method for custom plugin reset behavior.
