gSPLineW3D
gSPLine3D
Format#include "gbi.h" gSPLine3D(Gfx *gdl, int v0, int v1, int flag) gsSPLine3D(int v0, int v1, int flag) gSPLineW3D(Gfx *gdl, int v0, int v1, int wd, int flag) gsSPLineW3D(int v0, int v1, int wd, int flag)Arguments
- gdl is the pointer to the graphics display list
- v0, v1 specify the vertex cache indices
- wd is the line width in half-pixel units
- flag is the line flat-shading index
It generates one line, using the vertices v0, v1 in the internal vertex buffer loaded by the gSPVertex macro.
The wd argument of the gSPLineW3D macro is the width in half-pixel units. It ranges from 0 to 255. This width is added to 1.5 to generate the final line width. The minimum line thickness of 0 maps to 1.5, 1 maps to 2.0, 2 maps to 2.5, and so on.
The flag should be either 0 or 1 to identify which of the two vertices should be used as the color for the line (for flat shading).
These macros work only if the line microcode is loaded.
Note
When the line microcode is loaded, the gSPTriangle1 macro does not work correctly, it is interpreted as a do-nothing macro (no-op). Likewise, parts of the geometry state, gSPSetGeometryMode
are not useful (G_CULL_FRONT, G_CULL_BACK, and G_CULL_BOTH).
Only a few of the RDP render modes are valid for lines. The most commonly used ones would be RM_AA_XLU_LINE or RM_AA_ZB_XLU_LINE. Consult the gbi.h file for more line-related render modes.
When you use RM_AA_ZB_XLU_LINE, the Z-Buffer is read but not written into, so lines should be drawn after polygons to enable proper Z-Buffering to occur. Lines do not self-occlude.
The line microcode modifies the RDP scissoring coordinates, so they must be reset to desired values by subsequent display lists.
Because the lines are rendered as trapezoids, "end cap" problems are visible when drawing thick lines.
