1. 引言
Cesium中的Command对象包含执行的指令参数和执行方法，Command对象主要有三类：
- ClearCommand
- DrawCommand
- ComputeCommand
DrawCommand是最常用的指令，它是绘制的主角
DrawCommand封装如下，几乎包含了绘制所需要的全部内容：
function DrawCommand(options) {
options = defaultValue(options, defaultValue.EMPTY_OBJECT);
this._boundingVolume = options.boundingVolume;
this._orientedBoundingBox = options.orientedBoundingBox;
this._modelMatrix = options.modelMatrix;
this._primitiveType = defaultValue(
options.primitiveType,
PrimitiveType.TRIANGLES
);
this._vertexArray = options.vertexArray;
this._count = options.count;
this._offset = defaultValue(options.offset, 0);
this._instanceCount = defaultValue(options.instanceCount, 0);
this._shaderProgram = options.shaderProgram;
this._uniformMap = options.uniformMap;
this._renderState = options.renderState;
this._framebuffer = options.framebuffer;
this._pass = options.pass;
this._owner = options.owner;
this._debugOverlappingFrustums = 0;
this._pickId = options.pickId;
// ...
}
DrawCommand.prototype.execute = function (context, passState) {
context.draw(this, passState);
};
DrawCommand包含了绘制所需的VAO、ShaderProgram等参数以及execute()方法
DrawCommand是Cesium对WebGL 底层的封装 ，可以说操作DrawCommand就是在操作底层WebGL
本文描述Cesium中的DrawCommand并绘制一个自定义的三角形
2. Scene中的DrawCommand
Scene是Cesium中是一个很上层的概念，描述一个场景情况，DrawCommand在Scene中的调用过程大致如下：
初始化Scene时初始化PrimitiveCollection
function Scene(options) {
// ...
this._primitives = new PrimitiveCollection();
this._groundPrimitives = new PrimitiveCollection();
// ...
}
执行更新时调用DrawCommand的primitives.update(frameState)()方法
Scene.prototype.updateAndExecuteCommands = function (passState, backgroundColor) {
// ...
executeCommandsInViewport(true, this, passState, backgroundColor);
// ...
};
function executeCommandsInViewport(firstViewport, scene, passState, backgroundColor) {
// ...
updateAndRenderPrimitives(scene);
// ...
}
function updateAndRenderPrimitives(scene) {
// ...
scene._groundPrimitives.update(frameState);
scene._primitives.update(frameState);
// ...
}
再来看看primitives.update(frameState)方法：
PrimitiveCollection.prototype.update = function (frameState) {
const primitives = this._primitives;
for (let i = 0; i < primitives.length; ++i) {
primitives[i].update(frameState);
}
};
Primitive.prototype.update = function (frameState) {
// ...
const updateAndQueueCommandsFunc = updateAndQueueCommands
updateAndQueueCommandsFunc(...);
};
function updateAndQueueCommands(...) {
// ...
const commandList = frameState.commandList;
const passes = frameState.passes;
if (passes.render || passes.pick) {
const colorLength = colorCommands.length;
for (let j = 0; j < colorLength; ++j) {
const colorCommand = colorCommands[j];
// ...
commandList.push(colorCommand);
}
}
}
primitives.update(frameState)方法会将Command推入CommandList，然后在Scene中执行execute()方法：
function executeCommands(scene, passState) {
// ...
// Draw terrain classification
executeCommand(commands[j], scene, context, passState);
// Draw 3D Tiles
executeCommand(commands[j], scene, context, passState)
// Draw classifications. Modifies 3D Tiles color.
executeCommand(commands[j], scene, context, passState);
// ...
}
function executeCommand(command, scene, context, passState, debugFramebuffer) {
// ...
command.execute(context, passState);
// ...
}
综上，在Scene中会调用primitives[i].update(frameState)实现primitive绘制与更新
3. 绘制一个三角形
综上，要绘制一个自定义的三角形，需要构建一个primitive添加到Scene中，并且需要设置primitive的update(frameState)方法，实现自定义三角形的绘制与更新
primitive的update(frameState)方法，实质上就是构建DrawCommand，并将其推入commandList，然后执行execute()方法实现绘制与更新
总结一下步骤就是：
- 构建DrawCommand
- 构建primitive并设置
update(frameState)方法 - 将primitive添加到Scene中
3.1 构建DrawCommand
从引言处的DrawCommand构造函数可以得出，构建一个DrawCommand需要：
- modelMatrix
- vertexArray
- shaderProgram
- uniformMap
- renderState
- pass
- ......
3.1.1 vertexArray
参考源码VertexArray.js中创建一个VAO和VBO的例子：
// Example 1. Create a vertex array with vertices made up of three floating point
// values, e.g., a position, from a single vertex buffer. No index buffer is used.
const positionBuffer = Buffer.createVertexBuffer({
context : context,
sizeInBytes : 12,
usage : BufferUsage.STATIC_DRAW
});
const attributes = [
{
index : 0,
enabled : true,
vertexBuffer : positionBuffer,
componentsPerAttribute : 3,
componentDatatype : ComponentDatatype.FLOAT,
normalize : false,
offsetInBytes : 0,
strideInBytes : 0 // tightly packed
instanceDivisor : 0 // not instanced
}
];
const va = new VertexArray({
context : context,
attributes : attributes
});
以及Buffer.js中创建一个指定顶点的例子：
// Example 2. Create a dynamic vertex buffer from three floating-point values.
// The data copied to the vertex buffer is considered raw bytes until it is
// interpreted as vertices using a vertex array.
const positionBuffer = buffer.createVertexBuffer({
context : context,
typedArray : new Float32Array([0, 0, 0]),
usage : BufferUsage.STATIC_DRAW
});
综上，创建一个自定义三角形的vertexArray代码如下：
const positionBuffer = buffer.createVertexBuffer({
context : context,
typedArray : new Float32Array([0, 0, 0]),
usage : BufferUsage.STATIC_DRAW
});
const attributes = [
{
index : 0,
enabled : true,
vertexBuffer : positionBuffer,
componentsPerAttribute : 3,
componentDatatype : ComponentDatatype.FLOAT,
normalize : false,
offsetInBytes : 0,
strideInBytes : 0, // tightly packed
instanceDivisor : 0 // not instanced
}
];
const va = new VertexArray({
context : context,
attributes : attributes
});
其中，context是frameState.context，而frameState是Scene中保存的帧状态
3.1.2 shaderProgram
ShaderProgram包含GLSL、Shader、Shader Program等一系列参数
更为具体的ShaderProgram描述可以参考：Cesium渲染模块之Shader - 当时明月在曾照彩云归 - 博客园 (cnblogs.com)
在Cesium源码中PolylineCollection.js中创建一个ShaderProgram的例子：
this.shaderProgram = ShaderProgram.fromCache({
context: context,
vertexShaderSource: vs,
fragmentShaderSource: fs,
attributeLocations: attributeLocations,
});
其中，vertexShaderSource和fragmentShaderSource支持直接编写GLSL代码，因为在ShaderCache.js中做了处理：
if (typeof vertexShaderSource === "string") {
vertexShaderSource = new ShaderSource({
sources: [vertexShaderSource],
});
}
if (typeof fragmentShaderSource === "string") {
fragmentShaderSource = new ShaderSource({
sources: [fragmentShaderSource],
});
}
综上，创建一个自定义三角形的shaderProgram代码如下：
const vertexShaderSource = `
attribute vec3 position;
void main() {
gl_Position = czm_projection * czm_view * czm_model * vec4(position, 1.0);
}
`
const fragmentShaderSource = `
void main(){
gl_FragColor = vec4(1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0);
}
`
const attributeLocations = {
"position": 0,
}
const shaderProgram = ShaderProgram.fromCache({
context: context,
vertexShaderSource: vs,
fragmentShaderSource: fs,
attributeLocations: attributeLocations,
});
3.1.3 modelMatrix
在Cesium源码DrawCommand.js中描述modelMatrix：The transformation from the geometry in model space to world space
在Primitive.js中，可以看到DrawCommand的modelMatrix通常来自于Primitive的modelMatrix：
// ...
colorCommand.modelMatrix = modelMatrix;
3.2 构建Primitive
此处构建Primitive倒也不复杂，因为并不设置什么参数，只需指定modelMatrix和update(frameState)方法即可
3.2.1 modelMatrix
在Cesium源码DrawCommand.js中描述modelMatrix：
The 4x4 transformation matrix that transforms the primitive (all geometry instances) from model to world coordinates. When this is the identity matrix, the primitive is drawn in world coordinates, i.e., Earth's WGS84 coordinates. Local reference frames can be used by providing a different transformation matrix, like that returned by Transforms.eastNorthUpToFixedFrame
并且给出示例：
const origin = Cesium.Cartesian3.fromDegrees(-95.0, 40.0, 200000.0);
p.modelMatrix = Cesium.Transforms.eastNorthUpToFixedFrame(origin);
综上，设置一个自定义的modelMatrix：
const modelCenter = Cesium.Cartesian3.fromDegrees(121.474509, 31.233368, 0)
const modelMatrix = Cesium.Transforms.eastNorthUpToFixedFrame(modelCenter)
- (121.474509, 31.233368)在上海附近
3.2.2 update方法
在Cesium源码Primitive.js中，可以看到Primitive.update()方法就是在创建command并推入commandList：
Primitive.prototype.update = function (frameState) {
// ...
const updateAndQueueCommandsFunc = updateAndQueueCommands
updateAndQueueCommandsFunc(...);
};
function updateAndQueueCommands(...) {
// ...
const commandList = frameState.commandList;
const passes = frameState.passes;
if (passes.render || passes.pick) {
const colorLength = colorCommands.length;
for (let j = 0; j < colorLength; ++j) {
const colorCommand = colorCommands[j];
// ...
commandList.push(colorCommand);
}
}
}
所以，创建自定义的update()函数也是要完成创建command并推入commandList：
function update(frameState) {
const command = createCommand(frameState, this._modelMatrix)
frameState.commandList.push(command)
}
3.2.3 完整代码
综上，绘制一个自定义的三角形的Primitive代码如下：
class CustomPrimitive extends Cesium.Primitive {
constructor(options) {
super(options)
const modelCenter = Cesium.Cartesian3.fromDegrees(121.474509, 31.233368, 0)
const modelMatrix = Cesium.Transforms.eastNorthUpToFixedFrame(modelCenter)
this._modelMatrix = modelMatrix
}
createCommand = (frameState, modelMatrix) => {
const context = frameState.context
const positionBuffer = Cesium.Buffer.createVertexBuffer({
context: context,
typedArray: new Float32Array([
100000, 500000, 50000,
-200000, -100000, 50000,
500000, -300000, 50000,
]),
usage: Cesium.BufferUsage.STATIC_DRAW
});
const attributes = [
{
index: 0,
enabled: true,
vertexBuffer: positionBuffer,
componentsPerAttribute: 3,
componentDatatype: Cesium.ComponentDatatype.FLOAT,
normalize: false,
offsetInBytes: 0,
strideInBytes: 0, // tightly packed
instanceDivisor: 0 // not instanced
}
];
const vertexArray = new Cesium.VertexArray({
context: context,
attributes: attributes
});
const vertexShaderSource = `
attribute vec3 position;
void main() {
gl_Position = czm_projection * czm_view * czm_model * vec4(position, 1.0);
}
`
const fragmentShaderSource = `
void main(){
gl_FragColor = vec4(1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0);
}
`
const attributeLocations = {
"position": 0,
}
const shaderProgram = Cesium.ShaderProgram.fromCache({
context: context,
vertexShaderSource: vertexShaderSource,
fragmentShaderSource: fragmentShaderSource,
attributeLocations: attributeLocations,
});
const renderState = Cesium.RenderState.fromCache({
depthTest: {
enabled: true
}
});
return new Cesium.DrawCommand({
modelMatrix: modelMatrix,
vertexArray: vertexArray,
shaderProgram: shaderProgram,
renderState: renderState,
pass: Cesium.Pass.OPAQUE,
})
}
update = (frameState) => {
const command = this.createCommand(frameState, this._modelMatrix)
frameState.commandList.push(command)
}
}
3.3 添加到Scene中
创建一个Primitive，然后添加到Scene中：
const viewer = new Cesium.Viewer('cesiumContainer');
const customPrimitive = new CustomPrimitive()
viewer.scene.primitives.add(customPrimitive)
完整代码：
<body>
<div id="cesiumContainer"></div>
<script>
Cesium.Ion.defaultAccessToken = 'eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJqdGkiOiJlMTk4ZTYyNy00MjkxLTRmZWYtOTg1MS0wOThjM2YzMzIzYzEiLCJpZCI6NzEyMSwic2NvcGVzIjpbImFzciIsImdjIl0sImlhdCI6MTU0ODMxNzI5OX0.rKV8Ldl_bgR3lVvNsbHhTX62j8JH8ADCIWAwk7tXpr8';
class CustomPrimitive extends Cesium.Primitive {
constructor(options) {
super(options)
const modelCenter = Cesium.Cartesian3.fromDegrees(121.474509, 31.233368, 0)
const modelMatrix = Cesium.Transforms.eastNorthUpToFixedFrame(modelCenter)
this._modelMatrix = modelMatrix
}
createCommand = (frameState, modelMatrix) => {
const context = frameState.context
const positionBuffer = Cesium.Buffer.createVertexBuffer({
context: context,
typedArray: new Float32Array([
100000, 500000, 50000,
-200000, -100000, 50000,
500000, -300000, 50000,
]),
usage: Cesium.BufferUsage.STATIC_DRAW
});
const attributes = [
{
index: 0,
enabled: true,
vertexBuffer: positionBuffer,
componentsPerAttribute: 3,
componentDatatype: Cesium.ComponentDatatype.FLOAT,
normalize: false,
offsetInBytes: 0,
strideInBytes: 0, // tightly packed
instanceDivisor: 0 // not instanced
}
];
const vertexArray = new Cesium.VertexArray({
context: context,
attributes: attributes
});
const vertexShaderSource = `
attribute vec3 position;
void main() {
gl_Position = czm_projection * czm_view * czm_model * vec4(position, 1.0);
}
`
const fragmentShaderSource = `
void main(){
gl_FragColor = vec4(1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0);
}
`
const attributeLocations = {
"position": 0,
}
const shaderProgram = Cesium.ShaderProgram.fromCache({
context: context,
vertexShaderSource: vertexShaderSource,
fragmentShaderSource: fragmentShaderSource,
attributeLocations: attributeLocations,
});
const renderState = Cesium.RenderState.fromCache({
depthTest: {
enabled: true
}
});
return new Cesium.DrawCommand({
modelMatrix: modelMatrix,
vertexArray: vertexArray,
shaderProgram: shaderProgram,
renderState: renderState,
pass: Cesium.Pass.OPAQUE,
})
}
update = (frameState) => {
const command = this.createCommand(frameState, this._modelMatrix)
frameState.commandList.push(command)
}
}
const viewer = new Cesium.Viewer('cesiumContainer');
const customPrimitive = new CustomPrimitive()
viewer.scene.primitives.add(customPrimitive)
</script>
</body>
