LiteFX::Rendering::DescriptorType¶
Describes the type of a IDescriptorLayout.
Synopsis¶
Declared in <litefx/rendering_api.hpp>
enum class DescriptorType : int;Description¶
Note that, while in theory you can declare a writable descriptor in any format, the rendering back-end might not necessarily support writing in a specific format.
