  • Original WebGL library, ‘SENOR’

‘SENOR’ (exactly, ‘SENOR’ is the naming union of ‘SENORWEBGL1’, ‘SENORWEBGL2’ and ‘SENORUTL’) is an client side WebGL library of Kenta Ishii licensed under GPLv2 or later. This Library aims to be “System of Whole Objective Oriented Structure” to make/transmit data of 3D-graphic (Three Dimensional Graphic) in/between client computers and servers. This system is unique because whole processes depend on object-oriented architecture. By doing so, engineers to participate in 3D-graphic projects can be able to build systems easier than inconsistent structures. ‘SENOTRWEBGL1’ is a wrapper of WebGL1.0 context. ‘SENORWEBGL2’ is a wrapper of WebGL2.0 context (‘SENORWEBGL2’ is now on reserved). ‘SENORUTL’ is utilities to make 3D-graphic. ‘SENOR’ also aims to consider compatibility to code between ‘SENORWEBGL1’, WebGL1.0 context and ‘SENORWEBGL2’, WebGL2.0 context. It’s so called “The Same Coding Rarely Except Extension”. By wrapping whole context with each ‘canvas’ HTML tag, ‘SENOR’ aims usage of multiple contexts on the same page of your website.

Usage

Template Tag, jimmy_branding_output

if ( function_exists( 'jimmy_branding_output' ) ) {
    // If you want, configure ID of this template in the argument of this template tag as String
    jimmy_branding_output();
}
  • Put the template tag on your theme, e.g., index.php.
  • Make your branding HTML code on ‘jBrandings’ menu.
  • Select your jBranding content on ‘Select’ sub menu.
  • Customize banner and opener (Triangle on the Center Bottom) size on ‘Select’ sub menu.

Shortcode, [jimmy_branding]

[jimmy_branding name="slug-name-of-your-jbranding-content"]
  • On ‘Select’ sub menu, check ‘SENOR WebGL Library’ to ‘Stand Alone’ and ‘Shortcode Usage’ to ‘Use’.
  • On your post, use shortcode [jimmy_branding] with several arguments. ‘name’ must be needed.

Arguments of the WordPress shortcode, [jimmy_branding]

  • ‘id’ – (default: ‘jimmy-branding’)
  • ‘name’ – assign slug name of your jBranding content, must be needed
  • ‘ratio’ – ‘false’ is using pixels, ‘parent’ is using width parent element’s width, ‘window’ is using window’s width and height to make the resolution of the template (default: ‘false’)
  • ‘width_pixels’ – (default: ‘300’)
  • ‘width_percents’ – (default: ‘100’)
  • ‘height_min’ – (default: ‘100’)
  • ‘height_min_percents’ – (default: ’10’)
  • ‘height_max’ – (default: ‘200’)
  • ‘height_max_percents’ – (default: ’20’)
  • ‘opener_color’ – (default: ‘#ff0’)
  • ‘opener_width’ – (default: ’28’)
  • ‘opener_choice’ – Show Opener (‘true’) or not (default: ‘true’)

FAQ

Why does ‘SENOR’ have no function to make texture by ‘Image’ object or ‘img’ tag directly?

‘Image’ object and ‘img’ tag have the process to load each image. This loading process is a little tricky as opposed to the native usage of OpenGL. If the image has not been loaded yet, making texture fails. To hide this failure, ‘SENOR’ has the function to make texture by URL address or pixels data. In case of making texture by ‘video’ tag, you need to draw the video image to a 2D canvas by CanvasRenderingContext2D.drawImage(), then make RGBA pixels data with the canvas by CanvasRenderingContext2D.getImageData() (returns ImageData object which includes width, height and pixels similar to gl.RGBA8). The function, getImageData, is restricted by Same-Origin Policy or CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing). Put ‘crossorigin’ attribute on the ‘video’ tag if you need. Plus, make sure to play and control the video by functions, and iterate the process of drawImage, getImageData and making/update texture. The Codec and its container (extension) of the video file is needed to be able to play on browsers by ‘video’ tag.

Why does ‘SENOR’ have no function to load files of raw data?

Media Loader of WordPress Admin Page aims to store binary data just like JPEG, PNG and other Video/Audio formats. On default, this loader can’t load not only minor types of files, but also text files. Basically, raw data of 3D vertices is text data. Beacause of security, WordPress core developers will stay this policy, and may become stricter than now. So I recommend to put raw (text) data of vertices on your jBranding content directly (in script type=”text/plain” tag). ‘SENOR’ has a function to convert a text data of Wavefront .obj style to a JavaScript Object, ‘SENORUTL.attachObjRaw( id )’.
