Detailed Description

       The SoShaderProgram class is used to specify a set of
       vertex/geometry/fragment objects.

       This node can store one of each of SoVertexShader, SoGeometryShader and
       SoFragmentShader in its shaderObject field. Coin will load all shader
       objects specified there, and attach all objects into a program before
       binding it as the current shader program.

       A typical scene graph with shaders will look something like this:

         Separator {
           ShaderProgram {
             shaderObject [
               VertexShader {
                 sourceProgram ’myvertexshader.glsl’
                 parameter [
                   ShaderParameter1f { name ’myvertexparam’ value 1.0 }
                 ]
               }
               FragmentShader {
                 sourceProgram ’myfragmentshader.glsl’
                 parameter [
                   ShaderParameter1f { name ’myfragmentparam’ value 2.0 }
                 ]
               }
             ]
           }
           Cube { }
         }

       This will render the Cube with the vertex and fragment shaders
       specified in myvertexshader.glsl and myfragmentshader.glsl. Coin also
       supports ARB shaders and Cg shaders (if the Cg library is installed).
       However, we recommend using GLSL since we will focus mostly on support
       this shader language.

       Coin defines some named parameters that can be added by the application
       programmer, and which will be automatically updated by Coin while
       traversing the scene graph.

       · coin_texunit[n]_model - Set to 0 when texturing is disabled, and to
         SoTextureImageElement::Model if there’s a current texture on the
         state for unit n.
       · coin_light_model - Set to 1 for PHONG, 0 for BASE_COLOR lighting.
       Example scene graph that renders per-fragment OpenGL Phong lighting for
       one light source. The shaders assume the first light source is a
       directional light. This is the case if you open the file in a standard
       examiner viewer.
       The iv-file:
         Separator {

             shaderObject [
               VertexShader {

               }
               FragmentShader {
                 sourceProgram ’perpixel_fragment.glsl’
               }
             ]
           }

           nDotVP = max(0.0, dot(normal, normalize(vec3(gl_LightSource[i].position))));

             pf = 0.0;
           else
             pf = pow(nDotHV, gl_FrontMaterial.shininess);

           ambient += gl_LightSource[i].ambient;
           diffuse += gl_LightSource[i].diffuse * nDotVP;

Member Function Documentation

   void SoShaderProgram::setEnableCallback (SoShaderProgramEnableCB * cb, void
       * closure) Adds a callback which is called every time this program is
       enabled/disabled.
   void SoShaderProgram::GLRender (SoGLRenderAction * action) [virtual] Action
       method for the SoGLRenderAction.
       This is called during rendering traversals. Nodes influencing the
       rendering state in any way or who wants to throw geometry primitives at
       OpenGL overrides this method.
       Reimplemented from SoNode.
   void SoShaderProgram::search (SoSearchAction * action) [virtual] Action
       method for SoSearchAction.
       Compares the search criteria from the action to see if this node is a
       match. Searching is done by matching up all criteria set up in the
       SoSearchAction -- if any of the requested criteria is a miss, the
       search is not deemed successful for the node.

           SoSearchAction

       Reimplemented from SoNode.
   void SoShaderProgram::initClass (void) [static] Sets up initialization for
       data common to all instances of this class, like submitting necessary
       information to the Coin type system.
       Reimplemented from SoNode.
