## Detailed Description

Represents a section of the PagedWorld which uses a given PageStrategy, and which is made up of a generally localised set of Page instances.

Remarks
  The reason for PagedWorldSection is that you may wish to cater for multiple sections of your world which use a different approach to paging (ie a different PageStrategy), or which are significantly far apart or separate that the parameters you want to pass to the PageStrategy are different.

  PagedWorldSection instances are fully contained within the PagedWorld and their definitions are loaded in their entirety when the PagedWorld is loaded. However, no Page instances are initially loaded - those are the responsibility of the PageStrategy.

  PagedWorldSection can be subclassed and derived types provided by a PagedWorldSectionFactory. These subclasses might come preconfigured with a strategy for example, or with additional metadata used only for that particular type of section.

  A PagedWorldSection targets a specific SceneManager. When you create one in code via PagedWorld::createSection, you pass that SceneManager in manually. When loading from a saved world file however, the SceneManager type and instance name are saved and that SceneManager is looked up on loading, or created if it didn't exist.

## Member Function Documentation

## _loadProceduralPage()

virtual bool Ogre::PagedWorldSection::_loadProceduralPage | ( | Page * | page | ) |

virtual

Give a section the opportunity to prepare page content procedurally.

Remarks
  You should not call this method directly. This call will happen in the main render thread so it can access GPU resources. Use _prepareProceduralPage for background preparation.

Returns
  true if the page was populated, false otherwise

## _prepareProceduralPage()

virtual bool Ogre::PagedWorldSection::_prepareProceduralPage | ( | Page * | page | ) |

virtual

Give a section the opportunity to prepare page content procedurally.

Remarks
  You should not call this method directly. This call may well happen in a separate thread so it should not access GPU resources, use _loadProceduralPage for that

Returns
  true if the page was populated, false otherwise

## _readPageStream()

virtual StreamSerialiser* Ogre::PagedWorldSection::_readPageStream | ( | PageID | pageID | ) |

virtual

Get a serialiser set up to read Page data for the given PageID.

Parameters

  pageID | The ID of the page being requested

Remarks
  The StreamSerialiser returned is the responsibility of the caller to delete.

## _unloadProceduralPage()

virtual bool Ogre::PagedWorldSection::_unloadProceduralPage | ( | Page * | page | ) |

virtual

Give a section the opportunity to unload page content procedurally.

Remarks
  You should not call this method directly. This call will happen in the main render thread so it can access GPU resources. Use _unprepareProceduralPage for background preparation.

Returns
  true if the page was populated, false otherwise

## _unprepareProceduralPage()

virtual bool Ogre::PagedWorldSection::_unprepareProceduralPage | ( | Page * | page | ) |

virtual

Give a section the opportunity to unprepare page content procedurally.

Remarks
  You should not call this method directly. This call may well happen in a separate thread so it should not access GPU resources, use _unloadProceduralPage for that

Returns
  true if the page was unpopulated, false otherwise

## _writePageStream()

virtual StreamSerialiser* Ogre::PagedWorldSection::_writePageStream | ( | PageID | pageID | ) |

virtual

Get a serialiser set up to write Page data for the given PageID.

Parameters

  pageID | The ID of the page being requested

Remarks
  The StreamSerialiser returned is the responsibility of the caller to delete.

## frameEnd()

virtual void Ogre::PagedWorldSection::frameEnd | ( | Real | timeElapsed | ) |

virtual

## frameStart()

virtual void Ogre::PagedWorldSection::frameStart | ( | Real | timeSinceLastFrame | ) |

virtual

Definition at line 99 of file OgrePagedWorldSection.h.

## getPage()

virtual Page* Ogre::PagedWorldSection::getPage | ( | PageID | pageID | ) |

virtual

virtual

Get the page ID for a given world position.

Definition at line 271 of file OgrePagedWorldSection.h.

References _OgrePagingExport, and Ogre::operator<<().

## getSceneManager()

virtual SceneManager* Ogre::PagedWorldSection::getSceneManager | ( |  | ) | const

virtual

Get the current SceneManager.

Definition at line 130 of file OgrePagedWorldSection.h.

## getStrategy()

virtual PageStrategy* Ogre::PagedWorldSection::getStrategy | ( |  | ) | const

virtual

Definition at line 133 of file OgrePagedWorldSection.h.

## holdPage()

virtual void Ogre::PagedWorldSection::holdPage | ( | PageID | pageID | ) |

virtual

Ask for a page to be kept in memory if it's loaded.

Remarks
  This method indicates that a page should be retained if it's already in memory, but if it's not then it won't trigger a load. This is useful for retaining pages that have just gone out of range, but which you don't want to unload just yet because it's quite possible they may come back into the active set again very quickly / easily. But at the same time, if they've already been purged you don't want to force them to load. This is the 'maybe' region of pages.

  Any Page that is neither requested nor held in a frame will be deemed a candidate for unloading.

## load()

virtual bool Ogre::PagedWorldSection::load | ( | StreamSerialiser & | stream | ) |

virtual

Load this section from a stream (returns true if successful)

## loadOrCreatePage()

virtual Page* Ogre::PagedWorldSection::loadOrCreatePage | ( | const Vector3 & | worldPos | ) |

virtual

Load or create a page against this section covering the given world space position.

Remarks
  This method is designed mainly for editors - it will try to load an existing page if there is one, otherwise it will create a new one synchronously.

## loadPage()

virtual void Ogre::PagedWorldSection::loadPage | ( | PageID | pageID,
|  | bool | forceSynchronous = `false`
| ) |  |

virtual

Ask for a page to be loaded with the given (section-relative) PageID.

Remarks
  You would not normally call this manually, the PageStrategy is in charge of it usually. If this page is already loaded, this request will not load it again. If the page needs loading, then it may be an asynchronous process depending on whether threading is enabled.

Parameters

  pageID | The page ID to load
  forceSynchronous | If true, the page will always be loaded synchronously

Reimplemented in Ogre::TerrainPagedWorldSection.

## loadSubtypeData()

virtual void Ogre::PagedWorldSection::loadSubtypeData | ( | StreamSerialiser & | ser | ) |

protected virtual

Load data specific to a subtype of this class (if any)

Reimplemented in Ogre::TerrainPagedWorldSection.

Definition at line 84 of file OgrePagedWorldSection.h.

## notifyCamera()

## removeAllPages()

virtual void Ogre::PagedWorldSection::removeAllPages | ( |  | ) |

virtual

virtual

## setPageProvider()

virtual void Ogre::PagedWorldSection::setPageProvider | ( | PageProvider * | provider | ) |

virtual

Set the PageProvider which can provide streams Pages in this section.

Remarks
  This is the top-level way that you can direct how Page data is loaded. When data for a Page is requested for a PagedWorldSection, the following sequence of classes will be checked to see if they have a provider willing to supply the stream: PagedWorldSection, PagedWorld, PageManager. If none of these do, then the default behaviour is to look for a file called worldname_sectionname_pageID.page.

Note
  The caller remains responsible for the destruction of the provider.

Definition at line 268 of file OgrePagedWorldSection.h.

virtual void Ogre::PagedWorldSection::setStrategy | ( | const String & | stratName | ) |

virtual

Change the page strategy.

Remarks
  Doing this will invalidate any pages attached to this world section, and require the PageStrategyData to be repopulated.
