## Detailed Description

An abstraction of a viewport, i.e.

a rendering region on a render target.

Remarks:
  A viewport is the meeting of a camera and a rendering surface - the camera renders the scene from a viewpoint, and places its results into some subset of a rendering target, which may be the whole surface or just a part of the surface. Each viewport has a single camera as source and a single target as destination. A camera only has 1 viewport, but a render target may have several. A viewport also has a Z-order, i.e. if there is more than one viewport on a single render target and they overlap, one must obscure the other in some predetermined way.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Ogre::Viewport::Viewport | ( | Camera * | camera,
|  | RenderTarget * | target,
|  | Real | left,
|  | Real | top,
|  | Real | width,
|  | Real | height,
|  | int | ZOrder
| ) |

  | The usual constructor. Parameters:
  | cam | Pointer to a camera to be the source for the image.
  | target | Pointer to the render target to be the destination for the rendering.
  | left |
  | top |
  | width |
  | height | Dimensions of the viewport, expressed as a value between 0 and 1. This allows the dimensions to apply irrespective of changes in the target's size: e.g. to fill the whole area, values of 0,0,1,1 are appropriate.
  | ZOrder | Relative Z-order on the target. Lower = further to the front.

virtual Ogre::Viewport::~Viewport | ( |  | ) | `[virtual]`

| Default destructor.

## Member Function Documentation

void Ogre::Viewport::setBackgroundColour | ( | const ColourValue & | colour | ) |

| Sets the initial background colour of the viewport (before rendering).

void Ogre::Viewport::setCamera | ( | Camera * | cam | ) |

| Sets the camera to use for rendering to this viewport.

void Ogre::Viewport::setClearEveryFrame | ( | bool | clear,
|  | unsigned int | buffers = `FBT_COLOUR|FBT_DEPTH`
| ) |

  | Determines whether to clear the viewport before rendering. Remarks: You can use this method to set which buffers are cleared (if any) before rendering every frame. Parameters:
  | clear | Whether or not to clear any buffers
  | buffers | One or more values from FrameBufferType denoting which buffers to clear, if clear is set to true. Note you should not clear the stencil buffer here unless you know what you're doing.

void Ogre::Viewport::setDimensions | ( | Real | left,
|  | Real | top,
|  | Real | width,
|  | Real | height
| ) |

  | Sets the dimensions (after creation). Parameters:
  | left |
  | top |
  | width |
  | height | Dimensions relative to the size of the target, represented as real values between 0 and 1. i.e. the full target area is 0, 0, 1, 1.

void Ogre::Viewport::setMaterialScheme | ( | const String & | schemeName | ) |

| Set the material scheme which the viewport should use. Remarks: This allows you to tell the system to use a particular material scheme when rendering this viewport, which can involve using different techniques to render your materials. See also: Technique::setSchemeName Definition at line 200 of file OgreViewport.h.

void Ogre::Viewport::setOverlaysEnabled | ( | bool | enabled | ) |

  | Tells this viewport whether it should display Overlay objects. Remarks: Overlay objects are layers which appear on top of the scene. They are created via SceneManager::createOverlay and every viewport displays these by default. However, you probably don't want this if you're using multiple viewports, because one of them is probably a picture-in-picture which is not supposed to have overlays of it's own. In this case you can turn off overlays on this viewport by calling this method. Parameters:
  | enabled | If true, any overlays are displayed, if false they are not.

virtual void Ogre::Viewport::setRenderQueueInvocationSequenceName | ( | const String & | sequenceName | ) | `[virtual]`

  | Sets the use of a custom RenderQueueInvocationSequence for rendering this target. Remarks: RenderQueueInvocationSequence instances are managed through Root. By setting this, you are indicating that you wish this RenderTarget to be updated using a custom sequence of render queue invocations, with potentially customised ordering and render state options. You should create the named sequence through Root first, then set the name here. Parameters:
  | The | name of the RenderQueueInvocationSequence to use. If you specify a blank string, behaviour will return to the defaul render queue management.

void Ogre::Viewport::setShadowsEnabled | ( | bool | enabled | ) |

  | Tells this viewport whether it should display shadows. Remarks: This setting enables you to disable shadow rendering for a given viewport. The global shadow technique set on SceneManager still controls the type and nature of shadows, but this flag can override the setting so that no shadows are rendered for a given viewport to save processing time where they are not required. Parameters:
  | enabled | If true, any shadows are displayed, if false they are not.

void Ogre::Viewport::setSkiesEnabled | ( | bool | enabled | ) |

  | Tells this viewport whether it should display skies. Remarks: Skies are layers which appear on background of the scene. They are created via SceneManager::setSkyBox, SceneManager::setSkyPlane and SceneManager::setSkyDome and every viewport displays these by default. However, you probably don't want this if you're using multiple viewports, because one of them is probably a picture-in-picture which is not supposed to have skies of it's own. In this case you can turn off skies on this viewport by calling this method. Parameters:
  | enabled | If true, any skies are displayed, if false they are not.

void Ogre::Viewport::setVisibilityMask | ( | uint32 | mask | ) |

| Sets a per-viewport visibility mask. Remarks: The visibility mask is a way to exclude objects from rendering for a given viewport. For each object in the frustum, a check is made between this mask and the objects visibility flags ( See also: MovableObject::setVisibilityFlags), and if a binary 'and' returns zero, the object will not be rendered. Definition at line 279 of file OgreViewport.h.

void Ogre::Viewport::update | ( | void |  | ) |

| Instructs the viewport to updates its contents.
