OutputField
Synopsis
Output a field in AVS/Express image format by capturing the contents of the view
Note: This object has superceded a previous version of an object with the same name. Please note that the older version's template is VIEW.Viewers.OutputField, and this version's template is GDM.Viewers.OutputField. The render_view input port present in the old template is no longer necessary when used with the new Uviewers.

Description
The OutputField macro defines field output. It contains a user interface that appears in the Module Panel provided by the DataViewer or ModuleStack (as appropriate).
Three different types of output are available from the AVS/Express viewers: file output, field output, and print output. They are derived from a single base group that provides the basic hooks into the rendering pipeline to get output from the view.
OutputField captures the contents of the view and writes it to an AVS/Express field. The format of the field is the same as an AVS/Express image.
Input
view_in
A view. The contents of the input view are captured and written to the specified file.
Parameters
width
height
These parameters control the width and height in pixels at which the view is captured.
flip
This parameter controls whether the contents of the view are inverted before being written to the output field.
dynamic
This parameter controls whether a field is output each time the view is rendered: 0 means no; 1 means yes.
output
This parameter when set causes a field to be output. This is used when the dynamic parameter is set to a value of 0.
Output Port
output
Field_Unif+Dim2+Space2_Node_Data+Vector4. This output is a field in AVS/Express image format.
obj
DefaultObject. This output is a renderable object. It is typically connected to one of the 2D viewers to be rendered.
Example
Not available.
File
v/gd.v , v/view.v
