object graphics

includes main-level program

Attribute class for VISgrPOVRayPolygons representing the surface properties of objects.

Examples

To create a finish object using one of the finishes named in finish.inc, use:

  finish = obj_new('VISgrPOVRayFinish', finish_name='F_MetalB')

This can then be used in one of the VISgrPOVRay classes like:

  cow = obj_new('VISgrPOVRayPolygon', x, y, z, polygons=polylist, $
                 color=[150, 100, 20], shading=1, $
                 shininess=25.0, ambient=[150, 100, 20], diffuse=[150, 100, 20], $
                 finish=finish)

See the example attached to the end of this file as a main-level program (only available if you have the source code version of this routine):

  IDL> .run visgrpovraygrid__define

This should produce:

Properties

irid_thickness get set init: thickness affects busyness of the iridescence, 0.25 to 1.0 yields best results; iridescence is not used by default, but if any iridescence property is set it is used; default value is 0.5
diffuse get set init: controls the amount of light from a light source falls on the surface; low values of DIFFUSE will make the surface appear flat; default value is 0.6
metallic get set init: set to give the surface a more metallic appearance; default value is not metallic
ambient get set init: controls the amount of ambient light that falls on the surface; increase this amount to increase details in shadows; default value is 0.2
reflection get set init: amount the surface reflects; generally reflection and diffuse should be inversely proportional; default value is 0.0
roughness get set init: controls specular highlights in conjunction with SPECULAR; controls the size of the specular highlight, small values make small, tight specular highlights; default value is 0.05
irid_amount get set init: amount of contribution of iridescence to overall surface color, usually 0.1 to 0.5 is sufficient; iridescence is not used by default, but if any iridescence property is set it is used; default value is 0.35
finish_name get set init: name of a finish in finish.inc
brilliance get set init: controls the way that light intensity varies with incidence angle; the default value is 1.0, higher values will cause the light to fall of less at low and medium angles of incidence
irid_turbulence get set init: slightly difference way to affect thickness, 0.25 to 1.0 work best; iridescence is not used by default, but if any iridescence property is set it is used; default value is 0.5
specular get set init: controls specular highlights in conjunction with ROUGHNESS; controls the brightness of the specular highlight; default value is 0.0
