Methods

CreateDeviceInternal()

Initialize the graphics context to be used in a compute shader.

Declaration
public override void CreateDeviceInternal()
Overrides

CreateSwapChain(SwapChainDescription)

Initialize the swapchain.

Declaration
public override SwapChain CreateSwapChain(SwapChainDescription description)
Parameters
Type Name Description
SwapChainDescription description

The swapchain descriptor.
Returns
Type Description
SwapChain

Created Swapchain.
Overrides

Dispose(bool)

Releases unmanaged and - optionally - managed resources.

Declaration
protected override void Dispose(bool disposing)
Parameters
Type Name Description
bool disposing

true to release both managed and unmanaged resources; false to release only unmanaged resources.
Overrides

GenerateTextureMipmapping(Texture)

Generate mipmapping texture levels.

Declaration
public override bool GenerateTextureMipmapping(Texture texture)
Parameters
Type Name Description
Texture texture

The texture to generate mipmapping.
Returns
Type Description
bool

True if the mipmapping has been generated.
Overrides

InternalUpdateBufferData(Buffer, IntPtr, uint, uint)

Fill the buffer from a pointer.

Declaration
protected override void InternalUpdateBufferData(Buffer buffer, IntPtr source, uint sourceSizeInBytes, uint destinationOffsetInBytes = 0)
Parameters
Type Name Description
Buffer buffer

Buffer instance.
IntPtr source

The data pointer.
uint sourceSizeInBytes

The size in bytes.
uint destinationOffsetInBytes

The offset in bytes.
Overrides

MapMemory(GraphicsResource, MapMode, uint)

Maps a Buffer or Texture into a CPU-accessible data region.

Declaration
public override MappedResource MapMemory(GraphicsResource resource, MapMode mode, uint subResource = 0)
Parameters
Type Name Description
GraphicsResource resource

The graphics resource to map.
MapMode mode

The MapMode used to map the resource.
uint subResource

The subresource to map. Subresources are indexed first by mip slice and then by array layer. Only for Textures.
Returns
Type Description
MappedResource

A MappedResource structure describing the mapped data region.
Overrides

ShaderCompile(string, string, ShaderStages, CompilerParameters)

Converts the shader source into bytecode.

Declaration
public override CompilationResult ShaderCompile(string shaderSource, string entryPoint, ShaderStages stage, CompilerParameters parameters)
Parameters
Type Name Description
string shaderSource

The shader source text.
string entryPoint

The entrypoint function name.
ShaderStages stage

The shader stage, ShaderStages.
CompilerParameters parameters

The compiler parameters.
Returns
Type Description
CompilationResult

The shader bytecodes.
Overrides

SyncUpcopyQueue()

Sync the current buffer data in the copyQueue. Internal function used in the uploadbuffer strategy.

Declaration
public override void SyncUpcopyQueue()
Overrides

UnmapMemory(GraphicsResource, uint)

Invalidates a previously-mapped data region for the given Buffer or Texture.

Declaration
public override void UnmapMemory(GraphicsResource resource, uint subResource = 0)
Parameters
Type Name Description
GraphicsResource resource

The graphics resource to map.
uint subResource

The subresource to map. Subresources are indexed first by mip slice and then by array layer. Only for Textures.
Overrides

UpdateTextureData(Texture, IntPtr, uint, uint)

Fill the buffer from a pointer.

Declaration

Texture texture

Texture instance.
IntPtr source

The data pointer.
uint sourceSizeInBytes

The size in bytes.
uint subResource

The subResource index.
