RenderContentChildSlotNameFromParamName Method |
A "child slot" is the specific "slot" that a child (usually a texture) occupies.
This is generally the "use" of the child - in other words, the thing the child
operates on. Some examples are "color", "transparency".
Namespace:
Rhino.Render
Assembly:
RhinoCommon (in RhinoCommon.dll)
Since: 5.1
Syntax public string ChildSlotNameFromParamName(
string paramName
)
Public Function ChildSlotNameFromParamName (
paramName As String
) As String
Parameters
- paramName
- Type: SystemString
The name of a parameter field. Since child textures will usually correspond with some
parameter (they generally either replace or modify a parameter over UV space) these functions are used to
specify which parameter corresponded with child slot. If there is no correspondence, return the empty
string.
Return Value
Type:
String
The default behavior for these functions is to return the input string.
Sub-classes may (in the future) override these functions to provide different mappings.
