Intro

.. module:: bge.render

.. code-block:: python

   # Example Uses an L{SCA_MouseSensor}, and two L{KX_ObjectActuator}s to implement MouseLook::
   # To use a mouse movement sensor "Mouse" and a
   # motion actuator to mouse look:
   import bge

   # scale sets the speed of motion
   scale = 1.0, 0.5

   co = bge.logic.getCurrentController()
   obj = co.owner
   mouse = co.sensors["Mouse"]
   lmotion = co.actuators["LMove"]
   wmotion = co.actuators["WMove"]

   # Transform the mouse coordinates to see how far the mouse has moved.
   def mousePos():
      x = (bge.render.getWindowWidth() / 2 - mouse.position[0]) * scale[0]
      y = (bge.render.getWindowHeight() / 2 - mouse.position[1]) * scale[1]
      return (x, y)

   pos = mousePos()

   # Set the amount of motion: X is applied in world coordinates...
   wmotion.useLocalTorque = False
   wmotion.torque = ((0.0, 0.0, pos[0]))

   # ...Y is applied in local coordinates
   lmotion.useLocalTorque = True
   lmotion.torque = ((-pos[1], 0.0, 0.0))

   # Activate both actuators
   co.activate(lmotion)
   co.activate(wmotion)

   # Centre the mouse
   bge.render.setMousePosition(int(bge.render.getWindowWidth() / 2), int(bge.render.getWindowHeight() / 2))

Constants
*********

.. data:: KX_TEXFACE_MATERIAL

   Materials as defined by the texture face settings.

.. data:: KX_BLENDER_MULTITEX_MATERIAL

   Materials approximating blender materials with multitexturing.

.. data:: KX_BLENDER_GLSL_MATERIAL

   Materials approximating blender materials with GLSL.
   
.. DATA:: VSYNC_OFF

   Disables vsync

.. DATA:: VSYNC_ON

   Enables vsync

.. DATA:: VSYNC_ADAPTIVE

   Enables adaptive vsync if supported. Adaptive vsync enables vsync if the framerate is above the monitors refresh rate. Otherwise, vsync is diabled if the framerate is too low.

Functions
*********

.. function:: getWindowWidth()

   Gets the width of the window (in pixels)
   
   :rtype: integer

.. function:: getWindowHeight()

   Gets the height of the window (in pixels)
   
   :rtype: integer

.. function:: setWindowSize(width, height)

   Set the width and height of the window (in pixels). This also works for fullscreen applications.
   
   :type width: integer
   :type height: integer

.. function:: setFullScreen(enable)

   Set whether or not the window should be fullscreen.
   
   :type enable: bool

.. function:: getFullScreen()

   Returns whether or not the window is fullscreen.
   
   :rtype: bool

.. function:: makeScreenshot(filename)

   Writes a screenshot to the given filename.
   
   If filename starts with // the image will be saved relative to the current directory.
   If the filename contains # it will be replaced with the frame number.
   
   The standalone player saves .png files. It does not support color space conversion 
   or gamma correction.
   
   When run from Blender, makeScreenshot supports all Blender image file formats like PNG, TGA, Jpeg and OpenEXR.
   Gamma, Colorspace conversion and Jpeg compression are taken from the Render settings panels.
