Detailed Description

Show images or directories full of images.

Class providing basic structure for image (texture) stimulus classes. You can control multiple aspects of the image presentation, and scale images to values in degrees, rotate them, animate them etc.

Public Member Functions

function imageStimulus (in varargin)
 Class constructor.
 
function setup (in me, in sM, in in)
 Setup this object in preperation for use When displaying a stimulus object, the main properties that are to be modified are copied into cache copies of the property, both to convert from visual description (c/d, Hz, degrees) to computer metrics; and to be animated and modified as independant variables. So xPosition is copied to xPositionOut and converted from degrees to pixels. The animation and drawing functions use these modified properties, and when they are updated, for example to change to a new xPosition, internal methods ensure reconversion and update any dependent properties. This method initialises the object in preperation for display.
 
function set_xPositionOut (in me, in value)

◆ filter

Property imageStimulus::filter

How to compute the pixel color values when the texture is drawn magnified, minified or drawn shifted, e.g., if sourceRect and destinationRect do not have the same size or if sourceRect specifies fractional pixel values. 0 = Nearest neighbour filtering, 1 = Bilinear filtering - this is the default. Values 2 or 3 select use of OpenGL mip-mapping for improved quality: 2 = Bilinear filtering for nearest mipmap level, 3 = Trilinear filtering across mipmap levels, 4 = Nearest neighbour filtering for nearest mipmap level, 5 = nearest neighbour filtering with linear interpolation between mipmap levels. Mipmap filtering is only supported for GL_TEXTURE_2D textures (see description of 'specialFlags' flag 1 below). A negative filterMode value will also use mip-mapping for fast drawing of blurred textures if the GL_TEXTURE_2D format is used: Mip-maps are essentially image resolution pyramids, the filterMode value selects a specific layer in that pyramid. A value of -1 draws the highest resolution layer, a value of -2 draws a half-resolution layer, a value of -3 draws a quarter resolution layer and so on. Each layer has half the resolution of the preceeding layer. This allows for very fast drawing of blurred or low-pass filtered images, e.g., for gaze-contingent displays.
