Attaching attribute/information to field data 11/24/06 at 03:10:09   Hi,     In OpenDX, is there a concept of attaching/adding addition information/attribute to field data.     I am thinking of writing some kind of inboard/outboard module which can append shader (e.g. OpenGL2/MentalRay/RenderMan shader) information to a given field, so that OpenDX user can vary the look they get from the display. Of course, I will have to write a display outboard module that will understand those additional information.     I have written a basic outboard module but lack the knowledge of writing a "shader" module.     What would be an existing module closest to what I describe above I can start looking at?   Cheers

Re: Attaching attribute/information to field data Reply #1 - 11/25/06 at 01:08:25   After looking around, I think the built-in module/node call "Options" is probably most suitable for me to model my Shader attachment module.   Options add a given attribute to a field data, I have not seen the underlying code yet but I have seen something call a DXSetAttribute() or DXSetComponentAttribute() in the API which looks promising.   Cheers
