Synopsis¶

Declared in <litefx/rendering_api.hpp>

class [[dllimport, dllexport]] IGraphicsDevice
    : public SharedObject

Base Classes¶

Name	Description
`SharedObject`	Base class for an object that can be shared.

Type Aliases¶

Name
`_Esft_type`

Member Functions¶

Name	Description
`~IGraphicsDevice` [destructor] [virtual]	Destructor
`adapter` [virtual]	Returns the graphics adapter, the device uses for drawing.
`allocateGlobalDescriptors`	`allocateGlobalDescriptors` overloads
`bindDescriptorSet`	Binds the descriptors of the descriptor set to the global descriptor heaps.
`bindGlobalDescriptorHeaps`	Binds the global descriptor heap.
`computeAccelerationStructureSizes`	`computeAccelerationStructureSizes` overloads
`createQueue`	Attempts to create a new queue that supports the combination of queue types specified by the `type` parameter.
`defaultQueue`	Returns the instance of the default `ICommandQueue` that supports the combination of queue types specified by the `type` parameter.
`descriptorHeaps` [virtual]	Returns the global descriptor heaps from which all descriptors in the device are allocated.
`factory` [virtual]	Returns the factory instance, used to create instances from the device.
`makeBarrier`	Creates a memory barrier instance.
`makeFrameBuffer`	Creates a new frame buffer instance.
`maximumMultiSamplingLevel` [virtual]	Queries the device for the maximum supported number of multi-sampling levels.
`shared_from_this`	Returns a shared pointer to the current object instance.
`state` [virtual]	Returns the device state that can be used to manage resources.
`supportsStorageImageFormat` [virtual]	Returns `true`, if `format` can be used in writable images, i.e., as `RWTexture<T>`.
`supportsTexelBufferFormat` [virtual]	Returns `true`, if `format` can be used in texel buffers, i.e., as `Buffer<T>`, or as `RWBuffer<T>` if `writable` is set.
`surface` [virtual]	Returns the surface, the device draws to.
`swapChain`	Returns the swap chain, that contains the back and front buffers used for presentation.
`ticksPerMillisecond` [virtual]	Returns the number of GPU ticks per milliseconds.
`updateGlobalDescriptors`	Updates a range of descriptors in the global buffer descriptor heap with the descriptors from `descriptorSet.`
`wait` [virtual]	Waits until all queues allocated from the device have finished the work issued prior to this point.
`weak_from_this`	Returns a weak pointer to the current object instance.

Protected Types¶

Name	Description
`Allocator`	An allocator used to allocate the shared object.

Protected Member Functions¶

Name	Description
`IGraphicsDevice` [constructor]	Constructors
`operator=`	Assignment operators

Protected Static Member Functions¶

Name	Description
`create`	Generic factory method used to create instances of the shared object.

Derived Classes¶

Name	Description
`GraphicsDevice`	Represents the graphics device that a rendering back-end is doing work on.
