## Detailed Description

The SoTextureCombine class is a node for setting texture combine functions.

This node is more or less an exact mapping of the OpenGL ARB_texture_env_combine extension (included in OpenGL in OpenGL v1.3). See http://oss.sgi.com/projects/ogl-sample/registry/ARB/texture_env_combine.txt for more information about this extension.

Basically this node lets you specify up to three sources, and a function to combine those sources. In addition to the function, it is possible to apply simple operands on the sources. In the documentation below, the sources will be called Arg0, Arg1, and Arg2, just like in the ARB_texture_env_mode specification.

It's possible to specify both a color and an alpha operation.

This node has many fields, but usually it is sufficient to set only one or very few fields. The selected operation decides which values you need to set. One common example is to add a light map to textured geometry. A light map can look like this:

Rendering of an Example LightMap

The example below just shows how to apply the light map to a cube, with one light source on each side of the cube. Usually the texture coordinates are calculated so that a spot light or a point light is simulated.

    Texture2 { filename "wood.jpg" }

    Switch {
      whichChild -3   # use to toggle light map on/off
      TextureUnit {
        unit 1
      }
      TextureCombine {
        rgbOperation ADD_SIGNED
        rgbSource [PREVIOUS, TEXTURE]
        rgbOperand [SRC_COLOR, SRC_COLOR ]
        alphaOperation REPLACE
        alphaSource [TEXTURE]
        alphaOperand [SRC_ALPHA]
      }
      Texture2 { filename "lightmap.jpg" }
      TextureUnit { unit 0 }
    }
    Cube { }

The scene above in a viewer:

Rendering of Example Scenegraph

In addition to the functions you can set in rgbOperation (or alphaOperation), it's possible to create more complex texture functions by combining two textures that have already been combined. You can use the SoSceneTexture2 node to create those textures. Below is an example that shows how to implement Arg0*Arg1

- Arg2*Arg0, where Arg0 = texture1 RGB, Arg1 = texture2 RGB, Arg2 = texture 2 alpha:

    ShapeHints { vertexOrdering COUNTERCLOCKWISE shapeType SOLID }

    Separator {
      SceneTexture2 {
        size 256 256
        transparencyFunction NONE
        scene Separator {
          OrthographicCamera {
            height 2
            aspectRatio 1
            position 0 0 1
            viewportMapping LEAVE_ALONE
          }
          LightModel { model BASE_COLOR }
          Coordinate3 {
            point [ -1 -1 0, 1 -1 0, 1 1 0, -1 1 0 ]
          }
          DEF texture1 Texture2 { filename "texture1.png" }
          TextureUnit { unit 1 }
          TextureCombine {
            rgbOperation MODULATE
            rgbSource [ PREVIOUS, TEXTURE ]
            rgbOperand [ SRC_COLOR, SRC_COLOR ]
            alphaOperation REPLACE
            alphaSource [TEXTURE]
            alphaOperand [ SRC_ALPHA ]
          }
          DEF texture2 Texture2 { filename "texture2_with_alpha.png" }
          TextureCoordinate2 {
            point [0 0, 1 0, 1 1, 0 1]
          }
          FaceSet { numVertices 4 }
        }
      }
      TextureUnit { unit 1 }
      TextureCombine {
        rgbOperation ADD
        rgbSource [ PREVIOUS, TEXTURE ]
        rgbOperand [ SRC_COLOR, SRC_COLOR ]
        alphaOperation REPLACE
        alphaSource [TEXTURE]
        alphaOperand [ SRC_ALPHA ]
      }
      SceneTexture2 {
        size 256 256
        transparencyFunction NONE
        scene Separator {
          OrthographicCamera {
            height 2
            aspectRatio 1
            position 0 0 1
            viewportMapping LEAVE_ALONE
          }
          LightModel { model BASE_COLOR }
          Coordinate3 {
            point [ -1 -1 0, 1 -1 0, 1 1 0, -1 1 0 ]
          }
          USE texture1
          TextureUnit { unit 1 }
          TextureCombine {
            rgbOperation MODULATE
            rgbSource [ PREVIOUS, TEXTURE ]
            rgbOperand [ SRC_COLOR, SRC_ALPHA ]
            alphaOperation REPLACE
            alphaSource [TEXTURE]
            alphaOperand [ SRC_ALPHA ]
          }
          USE texture2
          TextureCoordinate2 {
            point [0 0, 1 0, 1 1, 0 1]
          }
          FaceSet { numVertices 4 }
        }
      }
      # map resulting texture onto a Cube
      Cube { }
    }

It should be possible to create almost any kind of texture function using this scheme, at the cost of extra texture memory usage (the intermediate textures), of course.

The alpha sources. This field is empty by default, but you can insert up to three values [Arg0, Arg1, Arg2]. When the field contains less than three values, the default [TEXTURE, PREVIOUS, CONSTANT], will be used for missing values.

For texture unit 0, PREVIOUS maps to PRIMARY_COLOR,

SoTextureCombine::rgbOperand

The color operands. This field is empty by default, but you can insert up to three values. When the field contains less than three values, the default [SRC_COLOR, SRC_COLOR, SRC_COLOR] will be used for missing values.

SoTextureCombine::alphaOperand

The alpha operands. This field is empty by default, but you can insert up to three values. When the field contains less than three values, the default [SRC_ALPHA, SRC_ALPHA, SRC_ALPHA] will be used for missing values. Please not that only SRC_ALPHA and ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA are valid operands for alpha operations.

This static method returns the SoType object associated with objects of this class.

## getTypeId()

SoType SoTextureCombine::getTypeId | ( | void |  | ) | const

virtual

Returns the type identification of an object derived from a class inheriting SoBase. This is used for runtime type checking and "downward" casting.

Implements SoBase.

## getFieldDataPtr()

const SoFieldData ** SoTextureCombine::getFieldDataPtr | ( | void |  | ) |

static protected

This API member is considered internal to the library, as it is not likely to be of interest to the application programmer.
Returns the SoFieldData class which holds information about fields in this node.

## getFieldData()

const SoFieldData * SoTextureCombine::getFieldData | ( | void |  | ) | const

protected virtual

Returns a pointer to the class-wide field data storage object for this instance. If no fields are present, returns `NULL`.

Reimplemented from SoFieldContainer.

## doAction()

void SoTextureCombine::doAction | ( | SoAction * | action | ) |

virtual

This function performs the typical operation of a node for any action.

Reimplemented from SoNode.

## callback()

void SoTextureCombine::callback | ( | SoCallbackAction * | action | ) |

virtual

Action method for SoCallbackAction.

Simply updates the state according to how the node behaves for the render action, so the application programmer can use the SoCallbackAction for extracting information about the scene graph.

Reimplemented from SoNode.

## GLRender()

void SoTextureCombine::GLRender | ( | SoGLRenderAction * | action | ) |

virtual

Action method for the SoGLRenderAction.

This is called during rendering traversals. Nodes influencing the rendering state in any way or want to throw geometry primitives at OpenGL override this method.

Reimplemented from SoNode.

## pick()

void SoTextureCombine::pick | ( | SoPickAction * | action | ) |

virtual

Action method for SoPickAction.

Does common processing for SoPickAction action instances.

Reimplemented from SoNode.
