function [gratingid, gratingrect] = CreateProceduralSineGrating(windowPtr, width, height, backgroundColorOffset, radius, contrastPreMultiplicator) % [gratingid, gratingrect] = CreateProceduralSineGrating(windowPtr, width, height [, backgroundColorOffset =(0,0,0,0)] [, radius=inf][, contrastPreMultiplicator=1]) % % Creates a procedural texture that allows to draw sine grating stimulus patches % in a very fast and efficient manner on modern graphics hardware. % % 'windowPtr' A handle to the onscreen window. % 'width' x 'height' The maximum size (in pixels) of the grating. More % precise, the size of the mathematical support of the grating. Providing too % small values here would 'cut off' peripheral parts or your grating. Too big % values don't hurt wrt. correctness or accuracy, they just hurt % performance, ie. drawing speed. Use a reasonable size for your purpose. % % 'backgroundColorOffset' Optional, defaults to [0 0 0 0]. A RGBA offset % color to add to the final RGBA colors of the drawn grating, prior to % drawing it. % % 'radius' Optional parameter. If specified, a circular aperture of % 'radius' pixels is applied to the grating. By default, no aperture is % applied. % % 'contrastPreMultiplicator' Optional, defaults to 1. This value is % multiplied as a scaling factor to the requested contrast value. If you % specify contrastPreMultiplicator = 0.5 then the per grating 'contrast' % value will correspond to what practitioners of the field usually % understand to be the contrast value of a grating. % % % The function returns a procedural texture handle 'gratingid' that you can % pass to the Screen('DrawTexture(s)', windowPtr, gratingid, ...) functions % like any other texture handle. The 'gratingrect' is a rectangle which % describes the size of the support. % % A typical invocation to draw a grating patch looks like this: % % Screen('DrawTexture', windowPtr, gratingid, [], dstRect, Angle, [], [], % modulateColor, [], [], [phase+180, freq, contrast, 0]); % % Draws the grating 'gratingid' into window 'windowPtr', at position 'dstRect' % or in the center if dstRect is set to []. Make sure 'dstRect' has the % size of 'gratingrect' to avoid spatial distortions! You could do, e.g., % dstRect = OffsetRect(gratingrect, xc, yc) to place the grating centered at % screen position (xc,yc). 'Angle' is the optional orientation angle, % default is zero degrees. 'modulateColor' is the base color of the grating % patch - it defaults to white, ie. the grating has only luminance, but no % color. If you'd set it to [255 0 0] you'd get a reddish grating. 'phase' is % the phase of the grating in degrees, 'freq' is its spatial frequency in % cycles per pixel, 'contrast' is the contrast of your grating. % % For a zero degrees grating: % g(x,y) = modulatecolor * contrast * contrastPreMultiplicator * sin(x*2*pi*freq + phase) + Offset. % % Make sure to use the Screen('DrawTextures', ...); function properly to % draw many different gratings simultaneously - this is much faster! % % History: % 11/25/2007 Written.
