Rasterizer (bge.render)

.. module:: bge.render

Example of using a :class:`SCA_MouseSensor`,
and two :class:`KX_ObjectActuator` to implement MouseLook:

.. note::
   This can also be achieved with the :class:`KX_MouseActuator`.

.. code-block:: python

   # To use a mouse movement sensor "Mouse" and a
   # motion actuator to mouse look:
   import bge

   # scale sets the speed of motion
   scale = 1.0, 0.5

   co = bge.logic.getCurrentController()
   obj = co.owner
   mouse = co.sensors["Mouse"]
   lmotion = co.actuators["LMove"]
   wmotion = co.actuators["WMove"]

   # Transform the mouse coordinates to see how far the mouse has moved.
   def mousePos():
      x = (bge.render.getWindowWidth() / 2 - mouse.position[0]) * scale[0]
      y = (bge.render.getWindowHeight() / 2 - mouse.position[1]) * scale[1]
      return (x, y)

   pos = mousePos()

   # Set the amount of motion: X is applied in world coordinates...
   wmotion.useLocalTorque = False
   wmotion.torque = ((0.0, 0.0, pos[0]))

   # ...Y is applied in local coordinates
   lmotion.useLocalTorque = True
   lmotion.torque = ((-pos[1], 0.0, 0.0))

   # Activate both actuators
   co.activate(lmotion)
   co.activate(wmotion)

   # Centre the mouse
   bge.render.setMousePosition(int(bge.render.getWindowWidth() / 2), int(bge.render.getWindowHeight() / 2))

Functions
*********

.. function:: getWindowWidth()

   Gets the width of the window (in pixels)

   :rtype: integer

.. function:: getWindowHeight()

   Gets the height of the window (in pixels)

   :rtype: integer

.. function:: setWindowSize(width, height)

   Set the width and height of the window (in pixels). This also works for fullscreen applications.

   .. note:: Only works in the standalone player, not the Blender-embedded player.

   :arg width: width in pixels
   :type width: integer
   :arg height: height in pixels
   :type height: integer

.. function:: setFullScreen(enable)

   Set whether or not the window should be fullscreen.

   .. note:: Only works in the standalone player, not the Blender-embedded player.

   :arg enable: ``True`` to set full screen, ``False`` to set windowed.
   :type enable: bool

.. function:: getFullScreen()

   Returns whether or not the window is fullscreen.

   .. note:: Only works in the standalone player, not the Blender-embedded player; there it always returns False.

   :rtype: bool

.. function:: getDisplayDimensions()

   Get the display dimensions, in pixels, of the display (e.g., the
   monitor). Can return the size of the entire view, so the
   combination of all monitors; for example, ``(3840, 1080)`` for two
   side-by-side 1080p monitors.
   
   :rtype: tuple (width, height)

.. function:: makeScreenshot(filename)

   Writes an image file with the displayed image at the frame end.

   The image is written to *'filename'*.
   The path may be absolute (eg. ``/home/foo/image``) or relative when started with
   ``//`` (eg. ``//image``). Note that absolute paths are not portable between platforms.
   If the filename contains a ``#``,
   it will be replaced by an incremental index so that screenshots can be taken multiple
   times without overwriting the previous ones (eg. ``image-#``).

   Settings for the image are taken from the render settings (file format and respective settings,
   gamma and colospace conversion, etc).
   The image resolution matches the framebuffer, meaning, the window size and aspect ratio.
   When running from the standalone player, instead of the embedded player, only PNG files are supported.
   Additional color conversions are also not supported.

   :arg filename: path and name of the file to write
   :type filename: string
