Configuring the Shader Development StudioTable 4-2 describes the toolbar buttons:Table 4-2 Toolbar buttonsButton Name DescriptionCompare FramesCompare the currently displayed frame with last frame rendered.Save Current FrameSave the currently displayed frame to disk.Save All FramesSave all the frames of the current shader effect to disk.Render Single FrameRender a single frame of the current shader effect.Render All FramesSet Preview SizeRender all the frames, as specified by Number of Frames in the ShaderControl view, of the current shader effect.Change the size if the preview area.Select Default Rendering ModeSelect RendererChange the default rendering mode. This preference is synchronised withthe Automatically Render setting on the Shader Development Studiopreference pane, see Automatically Render on page 4-2.Select a renderer to render the current shader effect. This list is populatedfrom the Renderers preference pane, see Renderers on page 4-3.At the end of the list is Manage Renderers. This provides a shortcut to theRenderers preferences page. See Renderers on page 4-3.Context menuThe Context menu is displayed by right-clicking over the animation. The buttons on the Contextmenu are described in Table 4-3:Table 4-3 Context buttonsMenu itemSave Current FrameSave All FramesSet Background ColorDescriptionSave the currently displayed frame to disk.Save all the frames of the current animation to disk.Set the color to render the background in the preview. This setting issynonymous with the glClearColor OpenGL ES 2.0 function.4.4.2 Shader ControlThe Shader Control view controls the Shader Preview view. It is used for:• selecting the shader effect to be rendered• selecting the geometry to render the effect onto• selecting the number of frames to be rendered• controlling the camera position for the first and last frame.• controlling the number of frames to be rendered.The top of the Shader Control view displays the currently selected shader effect.DUI0504C Copyright © 2009-2011 ARM.

The settings are described in Table 4-4:Table 4-4 Camera control buttonsSettingFirst FrameLast FrameOrthographic ProjectionNumber of FramesDescriptionSets the X, Y, Z and zoom values for the camera in the first frame.Sets the X, Y, Z and zoom values for the camera in the last frame.If this box is checked, the geometry is rendered in orthographic projectionmode in the Shader Preview view.Sets the number of frames to render for shader animation. The values of theuniforms, attributes, and camera values for the shader are interpolated overthis number of frames.Scene controlThe Scene Control group box controls how a scene is rendered in the Shader Preview view. Thesettings are described in Table 4-5:Table 4-5 Scene control buttonsButtonEnable BlendingConfigure Blending OptionsGeometryDescriptionEnables the blending capability provided by OpenGL ES.Display a dialog to configure how OpenGL ES performs blending.Selects the geometry to render the shader effect on.DUI0504C Copyright © 2009-2011 ARM.
