Chapter 663: InspectorBase

Core Idea

new InspectorBase()

InspectorBase is the base class for all inspectors.

Key Concepts

• currentFrame : Object: The current frame being processed.
• nodeFrame: Returns the node frame for the current renderer.

Properties

Property	Description
.currentFrame : Object	The current frame being processed.
.nodeFrame	Returns the node frame for the current renderer.

Methods

Method	Description
.begin()	Called when a frame begins.
.beginCompute( uid : string, computeNode : ComputeNode )	Called when a compute operation begins.
.beginRender( uid : string, scene : Scene, camera : Camera, renderTarget : WebGLRenderTarget )	Called when a render operation begins.
`.computeAsync( computeNode : ComputeNode, dispatchSizeOrCount : number	Array.<number> )`
.copyFramebufferToTexture( framebufferTexture : Texture )	Called when a framebuffer copy operation is performed.
.copyTextureToTexture( srcTexture : Texture, dstTexture : Texture )	Called when a texture copy operation is performed.
.finish()	Called when a frame ends.
.finishCompute( uid : string, computeNode : ComputeNode )	Called when a compute operation ends.
.finishRender( uid : string )	Called when an animation loop ends.
.getRenderer() : WebGLRenderer	Returns the renderer associated with this inspector.
.init()	Initializes the inspector.
.inspect( node : Node )	Inspects a node.
.setRenderer( renderer : WebGLRenderer ) : InspectorBase	Sets the renderer for this inspector.

Key Takeaways

1. InspectorBase extends: EventDispatcher
2. Most relevant properties: currentFrame, nodeFrame.
3. Key methods: begin, beginCompute, beginRender, computeAsync.
