OpenGL Processing 2.0a5 Error: P3D: tessellated arrays are overflowing

in Core Library Questions • 1 year ago

I wrote an aplication that works with image's pixels. The array has an average of 76800 objects of "Pixel".

On processing-1.5.1 this aplication works perfectly!

But when i try to run the same app on processing-2.0a5, the app crashes and it shows a warning on log saying:

"OpenGL error 1280 at top beginDraw(): invalid enumerant"

"P3D: tessellated arrays are overflowing"

Actually the app doesn't crash but it seems like; it runs very slowly.

I've tried to run on processing-2.0a4, the same problem happened but the warning message :

"P3D: tessellated arrays are overflowing" doesn't show.

Obs.:

- I'm using P3D -> size(200, 200, P3D);

- ArrayList pDinamico = new ArrayList(); (pDinamico is the array of "Pixel" object)

Thanks!

Hey I have the same problem....

So far I could only find this part of code that generates the message (from http://code.google.com/p/processing/source/browse/trunk/processing/java/libraries/opengl/src/processing/opengl/PGraphicsOpenGL.java?r=9447), but I don't know how to handle this. Any ideas?

Copy code

    tessellate(mode);

    if (flushMode == FLUSH_CONTINUOUSLY ||
        (flushMode == FLUSH_WHEN_FULL && tessGeo.isFull())) {

      if (flushMode == FLUSH_WHEN_FULL && tessGeo.isOverflow()) {
        PGraphics.showWarning("P3D: tessellated arrays are overflowing");
      }

      flush();
    }

Hello, the fix for this issue is already checked in the repo, and will be available in the next release. However, if you post a simple code snippet reproducing the error, I will test it on my development version.

Hi Andreas...

I've made this example to show what's happening.

Its good to remember that code works great on processing 1.5.1, but on 2.0a5 shows the error message below:

"OpenGL error 1280 at top beginDraw(): invalid enumerant" - What that means?

"P3D: tessellated arrays are overflowing" - What that means? Array is too big?

I know this is a lot of objects inside an ArrayList, but why this code works fine on processing 1.5.1;

Thanks!

Copy code

int tam;
ArrayList<Pixel> listOfPixels;
int angle;
void setup(){
size(600,600,P3D);
//number of 'pixels'
tam = 78000;
angle = 0;
listOfPixels = new ArrayList<Pixel>();
for(int i=0;i<tam;i++){
Pixel p = new Pixel(int(random(width)),int(random(height)),-int(random(255)) );
listOfPixels.add(p);
}
}
void draw(){
background(0);
angle++;
translate(width/2,height/2);
rotateY(angle*TWO_PI/360);
translate(-width/2,-height/2);
for(Pixel p : listOfPixels){
stroke(p.c);
point(p.x,p.y,p.z);
point(p.x,p.y,-p.z);
p.updateZ();
}
}
class Pixel{
int x,y,z;
color c;
public Pixel(int x, int y, int z){
this.x = x;
this.y = y;
this.z = z;
this.c = color((int)random(255),(int)random(255),(int)random(255));
}
void updateZ(){
this.x = int(random(width));
this.y = int(random(height));
this.z = int(random(255));
}
}

I tested your code with the latest processing build from the trunk, and there is no error. However, it will run quite slowly unless you set strokeCap(SQUARE) in setup. This is due to the way Processing now generates stroke geometry, in the case of points, it generates fully tessellated ellipses or squares (depending on the stroke cap setting) made out of triangles. This gives you the possibility of creating points of arbitrary size, but the downside is that pushes more geometry through the video card (before, a single vertex per point, now 5 in the case of square caps, many more if using round caps).

Andreas, thanks a lot!

But for me this not good, cause, now to run this application on a newer version of Processing i should use a better video card.

Is it possible to use an older version of the class (used on processing 1.5.1), that creates a single vertex per point, on a newer version of processing an compile it?

One more question:

"OpenGL error 1280 at top beginDraw(): invalid enumerant" - What's that means? This message still showing;

But for me this not good, cause, now to run this application on a newer version of Processing i should use a better video card.

The new P2D and P3D renderers in Processing 2.0 are entirely based on OpenGL. The advantage is better performance in most situations, however they won't work on older video cards that don't support OpenGL features such as GLSL shaders.

Is it possible to use an older version of the class (used on processing 1.5.1), that creates a single vertex per point, on a newer version of processing an compile it?

No, it is not possible. I realize that the new point rendering is less efficient than in the older OPENGL renderer, since it renders full triangle fans per point instead of single vertices. As I mentioned, this gives the possibility of drawing points of arbitrary size (otherwise point size is hardware limited), but at the cost of pushing at least 5 times more geometry through the video card. The solution for this issue would be to add an optional rendering path in P2D/P3D that draws points in the old way (with the GL_POINTS primitive), as long as the stroke weight is below the maximum hardware limit for point size. When the weight goes beyond this limit, the more expensive rendering path would be chosen instead. Because of time constrains and in order to keep the new code relatively simple, I didn't implement these two different paths and points are always drawn using triangle fans. This could be added later, though.

One more question:

"OpenGL error 1280 at top beginDraw(): invalid enumerant" - What's that means? This message still showing;

Is this error showing up with the sketch you posted before?

Could you run the following snippet of code and let me know of the output you get in the console?

Copy code

size(100, 100, P3D);
PGraphics3D pg = (PGraphics3D) g;
println(pg.OPENGL_VENDOR);
println(pg.OPENGL_RENDERER);
println(pg.OPENGL_VERSION);
println(pg.OPENGL_EXTENSIONS);
println(pg.maxLineWidth);
println(pg.maxPointSize);

Dear Andres,

the snippet you posted on Processing 2.05 alpha gives me the error

"Cannot find a class or type named "PGraphics3D" " . Shouldnt the size(100, 100, P3D); already import the OPENGL classes?

Another question, so I understand:
From what I understand of your previous post and seeing when my program runs into mistakes, its a matter of drawing points at arbitrary sizes. My question: Does that mean that the problem arises when I am trying to draw to big or to small points?

Re: OpenGL Processing 2.0a5 Error: P3D: tessellated arrays are overflowing

My apologies, I inadvertently run the code with the development version instead with 2.0a5. Just replace PGraphics3D with PGraphicsOpenGL.

As for your question, there are two different things going on here. The "P3D: tessellated arrays are overflowing" error that appears in 2.0a5 has been fixed already, and the next release of Processing will include the fix.

All my additional comments just stress that point rendering in Processing 2.0 (irrespective of the point size) is more demanding than in the older OpenGL renderer in 1.5. So for the time being, I recommend to use strokeCap(SQUARE), which will result in faster rendering, particularly for large amount of points. Of course, points will look square, but this should be ok if you are using a small stroke weight, or if you want them to look like that.

Andres thanks a lot!

It should be my Intel(R) Q45/Q43 Express Chipset problem!

But I've checked and it seems like that this chipset supports GLSL.

Cause i founded that -> GL_ARB_shading_language_100

This is the output of your skecth running on the last release of Processing (0205 not the 2.0a5):

Does the code I've written ran normaly, using as you said ' strokeCap(SQUARE)', on your machine?

Are you using MAC?

Unfortunately I wanna dots, not points looking like square... But is ok.

Perhaps I can add some information to help determine the issue:

On my somewhat older desktop I always get the "OpenGL error 1280 at top beginDraw(): invalid enumerant" warning with Processing 1.5.1. + GLGraphics version: 1.0.0.
I don't get this warning in Processing 2.0a5.
I have found it to be harmless. All the code runs fine. When I run the same code on my newer laptop, all is fine (code runs, no warning).

So it seems to be a warning triggered by older graphics cards.

When I run the code snippet provided by andres I get the following output:
