vtkRenderer中Render（）函数解析

void vtkRenderer::Render(void)
{
  if(this->Delegate!=0 && this->Delegate->GetUsed())
    {
      this->Delegate->Render(this);
      return;
    }

  double   t1, t2;
  int      i;
  vtkProp  *aProp;
  int *size;

  // If Draw is not on, ignore the render.
  if (!this->Draw)
    {
    vtkDebugMacro("Ignoring render because Draw is off.");
    return;
    }

以上是一些初始化及判断，不用细讲

 t1 = vtkTimerLog::GetUniversalTime();

  this->InvokeEvent(vtkCommand::StartEvent,NULL);

  size = this->RenderWindow->GetSize();

ti为初始时间。代表渲染开始。

// if backing store is on and we have a stored image
  if (this->BackingStore && this->BackingImage &&
      this->MTime < this->RenderTime &&
      this->ActiveCamera->GetMTime() < this->RenderTime &&
      this->RenderWindow->GetMTime() < this->RenderTime &&
      this->BackingStoreSize[0] == size[0] &&
      this->BackingStoreSize[1] == size[1])
    {
    int mods = 0;
    vtkLight *light;

如果有backing store并且有srored image那么执行下面的代码。

 // now we just need to check the lights and actors
    vtkCollectionSimpleIterator sit;
    for(this->Lights->InitTraversal(sit);
        (light = this->Lights->GetNextLight(sit)); )
      {
      if (light->GetSwitch() &&
          light->GetMTime() > this->RenderTime)
        {
        mods = 1;
        goto completed_mod_check;
        }
      }
    vtkCollectionSimpleIterator pit;
    for (this->Props->InitTraversal(pit);
         (aProp = this->Props->GetNextProp(pit)); )
      {
      // if it's invisible, we can skip the rest
      if (aProp->GetVisibility())
        {
        if (aProp->GetRedrawMTime() > this->RenderTime)
          {
          mods = 1;
          goto completed_mod_check;
          }
        }
      }

    completed_mod_check:

这段代码非常简单，就是检查light和Prop如果有问题，也就是修改时间大于渲染命令发出的时间。说明不是最新的。则直接跳出，不执行下面的代码，如果过没有问题则执行下面的代码，使用到前面讲的backing的相关内容。

 if (!mods)
      {
      int rx1, ry1, rx2, ry2;
