Member Function Documentation

binding()

virtual const UInt32 & LiteFX::Rendering::IBufferLayout::binding ( ) const

pure virtualnoexcept

Returns the binding point, the buffer will be bound to.

In GLSL, the binding point is identified by the binding keyword, whilst in HLSL the binding maps to a register.

Returns

The binding point, the buffer will be bound to.

Implemented in LiteFX::Rendering::Backends::DirectX12VertexBufferLayout, LiteFX::Rendering::Backends::DirectX12IndexBufferLayout, LiteFX::Rendering::Backends::DirectX12DescriptorLayout, LiteFX::Rendering::Backends::VulkanVertexBufferLayout, LiteFX::Rendering::Backends::VulkanIndexBufferLayout, and LiteFX::Rendering::Backends::VulkanDescriptorLayout.

elementSize()

virtual size_t LiteFX::Rendering::IBufferLayout::elementSize ( ) const

pure virtualnoexcept

Returns the size of a single element within the buffer.

Returns

The size of a single element within the buffer.

Implemented in LiteFX::Rendering::Backends::DirectX12VertexBufferLayout, LiteFX::Rendering::Backends::DirectX12IndexBufferLayout, LiteFX::Rendering::Backends::DirectX12DescriptorLayout, LiteFX::Rendering::Backends::VulkanVertexBufferLayout, LiteFX::Rendering::Backends::VulkanIndexBufferLayout, and LiteFX::Rendering::Backends::VulkanDescriptorLayout.

type()

virtual const BufferType & LiteFX::Rendering::IBufferLayout::type ( ) const

pure virtualnoexcept

Returns the buffer type of the buffer.

Returns

The buffer type of the buffer.

Implemented in LiteFX::Rendering::Backends::DirectX12VertexBufferLayout, LiteFX::Rendering::Backends::DirectX12IndexBufferLayout, LiteFX::Rendering::Backends::DirectX12DescriptorLayout, LiteFX::Rendering::Backends::VulkanVertexBufferLayout, LiteFX::Rendering::Backends::VulkanIndexBufferLayout, and LiteFX::Rendering::Backends::VulkanDescriptorLayout.
