LiteFX::Rendering::IGraphicsFactory::createTexture

Creates a texture.

Synopsis

Declared in <litefx/rendering_api.hpp>

[[dllimport, dllexport]] SharedPtr<IImage> createTexture(
    Format format,
    Size3d const& size,
    ImageDimensions dimension = ImageDimensions::DIM_2,
    UInt32 levels = 1,
    UInt32 layers = 1,
    MultiSamplingLevel samples = MultiSamplingLevel::x1,
    ResourceUsage usage = ResourceUsage::Default,
    AllocationBehavior allocationBehavior = AllocationBehavior::Default) const;

Description

A texture in LiteFX is always backed by GPU-only visible memory and thus can only be transferred to/from. Thus you typically have to create a buffer using createBuffer first that holds the actual image bytes. You than can transfer/copy the contents into the texture.

Return Value

The instance of the texture.

Parameters

Name	Description
format	The format of the texture image.
size	The dimensions of the texture.
dimension	The dimensionality of the texture.
layers	The number of layers (slices) in this texture.
levels	The number of mip map levels of the texture.
samples	The number of samples, the texture should be sampled with.
usage	The intended usage for the buffer.
allocationBehavior	The behavior controlling what happens if currently there is not enough memory available for the resource.
