《基于MFC的OpenGL编程》Part 11 Blending, Antialiasing and Fog

Blending and Transparency

Blending in OpenGL provides pixel-level control of RGBA color storage in the color buffer. To enable blending we must first call glEnable(GL_BLEND). We have to set up the blending function glBlendFunc with two arguments: the source and the destination colors. By default these are GL_ONE and GL_ZERO respectively, which is equivalent to glDisable(GL_BLEND). The blend functions are applied to the source color set by glColor and destination color in the color buffer. The results of the blending functions are added together to generate the new color value which is put onscreen.

Transparency is perhaps the most typical use of blending. In order to produce transparency we should set up the blending function as follows - glBlendFunc(GL_SRC_ALPHA, GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA). This combination takes the source color, scales it based on the alpha component and then adds the destination pixel color scaled by 1 minus the alpha value. It basically takes a fraction of the current drawing color and overlays it on the pixel on the screen. The alpha component can be from 0 (completely transparent) to 1 (completely opaque).

Anti-Aliasing

You might have noticed in some of your OpenGL pictures that lines, especially nearly horizontal or nearly vertical ones, appear jagged. These jaggies appear because the ideal line is approximated by a series of pixels that must lie on the pixel grid. The jaggedness is called aliasing. Antialiasing can be enabled by calling the function - glEnable(GL_POLYGON_SMOOTH) for polygons.

Fog

An entire image can be made to appear more natural by adding fog, which makes objects fade into the distance. Fog is a general term that describes similar forms of atmospheric effects; it can be used to simulate haze, mist, smoke, or pollution. Fog is essential in visual-simulation applications, where limited visibility needs to be approximated.

When fog is enabled, objects that are farther from the viewpoint begin to fade into the fog color. You can control the density of the fog, which determines the rate at which objects fade as the distance increases, as well as the fog's color. Since fog is applied after matrix transformations, lighting, and texturing are performed, it affects transformed, lit, and textured objects.

Using fog is easy. Enable it by passing GL_FOG to glEnable(), and you choose the color and the equation that controls the density with glFog*().

1,在CCY457OpenGLView类中加入下列布尔变量，分别代表是否开启混合，雾和反锯齿效果。

Code
<!--<br /><br />Code highlighting produced by Actipro CodeHighlighter (freeware)<br />http://www.CodeHighlighter.com/<br /><br />-->//Effects
BOOLm_blend;
BOOLm_fog;
BOOLm_antialias;

并在构造函数中对其初始化：

<!--<br /><br />Code highlighting produced by Actipro CodeHighlighter (freeware)<br />http://www.CodeHighlighter.com/<br /><br />-->CCY457OpenGLView::CCY457OpenGLView()
{
m_xRot=0.0f;
m_yRot=0.0f;
m_texWrap=GL_CLAMP;
m_texMode=GL_DECAL;
m_texFilter=GL_NEAREST;
m_blend=FALSE;
m_fog=FALSE;
m_antialias=FALSE;
}

2，加入控制上述三种效果的菜单项及其事件处理函数

<!--<br /><br />Code highlighting produced by Actipro CodeHighlighter (freeware)<br />http://www.CodeHighlighter.com/<br /><br />-->voidCOpenGLView::OnEffectsBlending()
{
//TODO:Addyourcommandhandlercodehere
m_blend=!m_blend;
if(m_blend)
glEnable(GL_BLEND);
else
glDisable(GL_BLEND);
InvalidateRect(NULL,FALSE);
}
voidCOpenGLView::OnUpdateEffectsBlending(CCmdUI*pCmdUI)
{
//TODO:AddyourcommandupdateUIhandlercodehere
pCmdUI->SetCheck(m_blend);
}
voidCOpenGLView::OnEffectsAntialiasing()
{
//TODO:Addyourcommandhandlercodehere
m_antialias=!m_antialias;
if(m_antialias)
glEnable(GL_POLYGON_SMOOTH);
else
glDisable(GL_POLYGON_SMOOTH);
InvalidateRect(NULL,FALSE);
}
voidCOpenGLView::OnUpdateEffectsAntialiasing(CCmdUI*pCmdUI)
{
//TODO:AddyourcommandupdateUIhandlercodehere
pCmdUI->SetCheck(m_antialias);
}
voidCOpenGLView::OnEffectsFog()
{
//TODO:Addyourcommandhandlercodehere
m_fog=!m_fog;
if(m_fog)
glEnable(GL_FOG);
else
glDisable(GL_FOG);
InvalidateRect(NULL,FALSE);
}
voidCOpenGLView::OnUpdateEffectsFog(CCmdUI*pCmdUI)
{
//TODO:AddyourcommandupdateUIhandlercodehere
pCmdUI->SetCheck(m_fog);
}

3，在InitializeOpenGL函数中对雾效果进行设置。

<!--<br /><br />Code highlighting produced by Actipro CodeHighlighter (freeware)<br />http://www.CodeHighlighter.com/<br /><br />-->BOOLCCY457OpenGLView::InitializeOpenGL()
{
//GetaDCfortheClientArea
m_pDC=newCClientDC(this);
//FailuretoGetDC
if(m_pDC==NULL)
{
MessageBox("ErrorObtainingDC");
returnFALSE;
}
//Failuretosetthepixelformat
if(!SetupPixelFormat())
{
returnFALSE;
}
//CreateRenderingContext
m_hRC=::wglCreateContext(m_pDC->GetSafeHdc());
//FailuretoCreateRenderingContext
if(m_hRC==0)
{
MessageBox("ErrorCreatingRC");
returnFALSE;
}
//MaketheRCCurrent
if(::wglMakeCurrent(m_pDC->GetSafeHdc(),m_hRC)==FALSE)
{
MessageBox("ErrormakingRCCurrent");
returnFALSE;
}
//SpecifyBlackastheclearcolor
::glClearColor(0.0f,0.0f,0.0f,0.0f);
//Specifythebackofthebufferascleardepth
::glClearDepth(1.0f);
//EnableDepthTesting

//设置雾
::glFogi(GL_FOG_MODE,GL_EXP);
GLfloatfog_color[4]={0.2f,0.2f,0.2f,0.0f};
::glFogfv(GL_FOG_COLOR,fog_color);
::glFogf(GL_FOG_DENSITY,0.25);
//加载纹理
LoadGLTextures();
//设置灯光
SetupLighting();
::glBlendFunc(GL_SRC_ALPHA,GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA);
returnTRUE;
}
