The user macro texture_vplane is used to generate a "vertical" plane and apply an image (or texture map) to the plane.
| Name | Type | Description | |
| &in_texture | link | input texture | |
The following lists all of the parameters found in the parameter block TextureVPlaneParams, which are accessed by the user macro and the UI Macro TextureVPlaneUI.
| Name | Type | Description | UI Control |
| start_x | float | lower-left Coordinate | Lower Left corner of image: X |
| start_y | float | lower-left Coordinate | Lower Left corner of image: Y |
| start_z | float | lower-left Coordinate | Lower Left corner of image: Z |
| end_x | float | upper-right Coordinate | Upper Right corner of image: X |
| end_y | float | upper-right Coordinate | Upper Right corner of image: Y |
| end_z | float | upper-right Coordinate | Upper Right corner of image: Z |
| flip | int | flip the coordinates | Flip Upper Left and Lower right |
| Name | Type | Description | |
| out_fld | Mesh_Unif+Node_Data | output field with texture map data | |
| out_obj | DataObject | output plane object with texture map | |
The user macro texture_vplane is used to generate a "vertical" plane and apply an image (or texture map) to the plane.
It works in a similar fashion to the module supplied with Express called texture_mesh. This module add uv (texture map) data to a field according to the x and y coordinates of the field. Thus if you have an object (most commonly a plane) that is vertical, that is it has its normal perpendicular to the z direction, then the module texture_map doesn't work as expected.
&in_texture
The input texture to be mapped onto the plane.
start_x
Lower-left X coordinate of the image.
start_y
Lower-left Y coordinate of the image.
start_z
Lower-left Z coordinate of the image.
end_x
Upper-right X coordinate of the image.
end_y
Upper-right Y coordinate of the image.
end_z
Upper-right Z coordinate of the image.
flip
Flip the Upper Left and Lower Right coordinates in the output.
out_fld
Output field with the texture mapped onto a uniform mesh.
out_obj
Output as a renderable data object.
The functional macro TextureVPlane is used in this User Macro texture_vplane.
An example application, TextureVPlaneEg is provided, which shows the AVS/Express madrill.x image used as a texture map.
iac_proj/txvplane/txvpmacs.v contains the texture_vplane User Macro, the TextureVPlane Functional Macro, the TextureVPlaneUI UI Macro, and the example application TextureVPlaneEg V definitions.
The TextureVPlaneMacs library inherits its process. As this library contains no procedural code, the process is not important. The TextureVPlaneMods library does not contain any procedural code either.
