The operational status of the library.
Enumerator:
- PRE_STARTING = 0
- The library or the cluster has not yet been started.
- STARTING = 1
- The library or the cluster is starting.
- STARTED = 2
- The library or the cluster is ready for operation.
- SHUTTINGDOWN = 3
- The library or the cluster is shutting down.
- SHUTDOWN = 4
- The library or the cluster has been shut down.
- FAILURE = 5
- There was a failure during operation.
- FORCE_32_BIT = 0xffffffffU
Member Functions
- virtual base::IInterface* mi::neuraylib::INeuray::get_api_component( const base::Uuid& uuid) const [pure virtual]
-
Returns an API component from the neuray API.
See also:
mi_neuray_api_components for a list of built-in API components.
register_api_component(), unregister_api_component()
Parameters
- uuid
- The UUID under which the API components was registered. For built-in API components this is the interface ID of the corresponding interface.
Returns
A pointer to the API component or NULL if the API component is not supported or currently not available.
-
template< class T>
T* mi::neuraylib::INeuray::get_api_component() const [inline] -
Returns an API component from the neuray API. This template variant requires that the API component is registered under the interface ID of the corresponding interface (which is the case for built-in API components).
See also:
mi_neuray_api_components for a list of built-in API components.
register_api_component(), unregister_api_component()
Returns
A pointer to the API component or NULL if the API component is not supported or currently not available.
- virtual Uint32 mi::neuraylib::INeuray::get_interface_version() const [pure virtual]
-
Returns the interface version of the . This number changes whenever the abstract interfaces of the neuray API changes.
- virtual Status mi::neuraylib::INeuray::get_status() const [pure virtual]
-
Returns the status of the library.
Returns
The status
- virtual const char* mi::neuraylib::INeuray::get_version() const [pure virtual]
-
Returns the version of the . This string contains the product version, build number, build date, and platform of the current library.
- virtual Sint32 mi::neuraylib::INeuray::register_api_component( const base::Uuid& uuid, base::IInterface* api_component) [pure virtual]
-
Registers an API component with the neuray API. API components are a way for plugins to provide access to their functionality. The registration makes the API component available for subsequent calls of get_api_component().
Parameters
- uuid
- The ID of the API component to register, e.g., the interface ID of the corresponding interface.
- api_component
- The API component to register.
Returns
- 0: Success.
- -1: Invalid parameters (NULL pointer).
- -2: There is already an API component registered under the ID uuid.
-
template< class T>
Sint32 mi::neuraylib::INeuray::register_api_component( T* api_component) [inline] -
Registers an API component with the neuray API. API components are a way for plugins to provide access to their functionality. The registration makes the API component available for subsequent calls of get_api_component().
This template variant registers the API component under the interface ID of the corresponding interface.
Parameters
- api_component
- The API component to register.
Returns
- 0: Success.
- -1: Invalid parameters (NULL pointer).
- -2: There is already an API component registered under the ID T::IID().
- virtual Sint32 mi::neuraylib::INeuray::shutdown( bool blocking = true) [pure virtual]
-
Shuts down the library. For proper shutdown this may only be called after all transactions have been committed and all rendering is finished.
You also need to release all interface pointers related to functionality obtained after startup before calling this method. In case you use the mi::base::Handle class (or another handle class), you need to make sure that all such handles have been reset or destroyed.
Parameters
- blocking
- Indicates whether the shutdown should be done in blocking mode. If true the method will not return before shutdown has completed. If false the method will return immediately and the shutdown is done in a separate thread. The status of the shutdown sequence can be checked via get_status().
Returns
0, in case of success, -1 in case of failure
- virtual Sint32 mi::neuraylib::INeuray::start( bool blocking = true) [pure virtual]
-
Starts the operation of the . All configuration which is marked to be done before the start of the library must be done before calling this function. When calling this function will start threads and start network operations etc. The may not be ready for operation after the call returned if blocking mode is not used.
Parameters
- blocking
- Indicates whether the startup should be done in blocking mode. If true the method will not return before all initialization was done. If false the method will return immediately and the startup is done in a separate thread. The status of the startup sequence can be checked via get_status().
Returns
- 0: Success
- -1: Unspecified failure.
- -2: Authentication failure (challenge-response).
- -4: Provided license expired.
- -5: No professional GPU as required by the license in use was found. (historical - -6: Authentication failure (FLEXlm).)
- -7: No NVIDIA VCA as required by the license in use was found.
- virtual Sint32 mi::neuraylib::INeuray::unregister_api_component( const base::Uuid& uuid) [pure virtual]
-
Unregisters an API component with the neuray API. The API component will no longer be accessible via get_api_component().
Parameters
- uuid
- The ID of the API component to unregister.
Returns
- 0: Success.
- -1: There is no API component registered under the ID uuid.
-
template< class T>
Sint32 mi::neuraylib::INeuray::unregister_api_component() [inline] -
Unregisters an API component with the neuray API. The API component will no longer be accessible via get_api_component().
This template variant requires that the API component was registered under the interface ID of the corresponding interface (which is the case for the template variant of register_api_component()).
Returns
- 0: Success.
- -1: There is no API component registered under the ID T::IID().
