Detailed Description

An abstract base class for particle emitters.

Descendant classes must override the emit() method to generate new particles by calling the ParticleSystem::createParticle() method on the particle system associated to the emitter.

Member Function Documentation

virtual void osgParticle::Emitter::accept (  osg::NodeVisitor &  nv  )  [inline, virtual]

Visitor Pattern : calls the apply method of a NodeVisitor with this node's type. Reimplemented from osgParticle::ParticleProcessor.

virtual const char* osgParticle::Emitter::className (   )  const [inline, virtual]

return the name of the node's class type. Reimplemented from osgParticle::ParticleProcessor.

virtual void osgParticle::Emitter::emit (  double  dt  )  [protected, pure virtual]

Implemented in osgParticle::ModularEmitter.

const Particle & osgParticle::Emitter::getParticleTemplate (   )  const [inline]

Get the particle template.

bool osgParticle::Emitter::getUseDefaultTemplate (   )  const [inline]

Return whether the particle system's default template should be used.

virtual bool osgParticle::Emitter::isSameKindAs (  const osg::Object *  obj  )  const [inline, virtual]

Reimplemented from osgParticle::ParticleProcessor.

virtual const char* osgParticle::Emitter::libraryName (   )  const [inline, virtual]

return the name of the node's library. Reimplemented from osgParticle::ParticleProcessor.

Emitter& osgParticle::Emitter::operator= (  const Emitter &   )  [inline, protected]

void osgParticle::Emitter::process (  double  dt  )  [inline, protected, virtual]

Implements osgParticle::ParticleProcessor.

void osgParticle::Emitter::setParticleTemplate (  const Particle &  p  )  [inline]

Set the particle template (particle is copied).

void osgParticle::Emitter::setUseDefaultTemplate (  bool  v  )  [inline]

Set whether the default particle template should be used. When this flag is true, the particle template is ignored, and the particle system's default template is used instead.
