#!F-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--18* #!N #!CSlateBlue #!N #!Rrendchp Rendering #!N #!EC #!N #!N This chapter describes the Data Explorer rendering model, introduces additional elements of the data model relevant only to rendering, and describes routines for manipulating data structures for rendering. (For descriptions of these routines, see #!Lallr,dxall1162 h Data Explorer Library Routines #!EL .) #!N #!N The Data Explorer renderer is designed for data visualization. For example, it directly renders scenes described by the Data Explorer data model (see #!Ldatmod,dxall197 h Understanding the Data Model #!EL ). The renderer handles all combinations of Groups and Fields as input Objects. The members of a Group or of a subclass of a Group (e.g., Series and Composite Fields) are combined into one image by the renderer. #!N #!N Rendering a scene involves fours steps: #!N #!I0 #!N #!F-adobe-times-medium-r-normal--18* #!N #!N #!I30 #!N 1.

Shading--Assigning colors to the vertices, using the intrinsic surface colors, surface normals, surface properties specified by Field components, and lights specified by Light Objects. #!N #!I30 #!N 3.
