Struct nannou::wgpu::Instance

pub struct Instance { /* fields omitted */ }

Context for all other wgpu objects. Instance of wgpu.

This is the first thing you create when using wgpu. Its primary use is to create Adapters and Surfaces.

Does not have to be kept alive.

Implementations

impl Instance

pub fn new(backends: Backends) -> Instance

Create an new instance of wgpu.

Arguments

• backends - Controls from which backends wgpu will choose during instantiation.

pub unsafe fn from_hal<A>(hal_instance: <A as Api>::Instance) -> Instance where
    A: HalApi, 

Create an new instance of wgpu from a wgpu-hal instance.

Arguments

• hal_instance - wgpu-hal instance.

Safety

Refer to the creation of wgpu-hal Instance for every backend.

pub fn enumerate_adapters(
    &self,
    backends: Backends
) -> impl Iterator<Item = Adapter>

Retrieves all available Adapters that match the given Backends.

Arguments

• backends - Backends from which to enumerate adapters.

pub fn request_adapter(
    &self,
    options: &RequestAdapterOptions<&Surface>
) -> impl Future<Output = Option<Adapter>> + Send

Retrieves an Adapter which matches the given RequestAdapterOptions.

Some options are “soft”, so treated as non-mandatory. Others are “hard”.

If no adapters are found that suffice all the “hard” options, None is returned.

pub unsafe fn create_adapter_from_hal<A>(
    &self,
    hal_adapter: ExposedAdapter<A>
) -> Adapter where
    A: HalApi, 

Converts a wgpu-hal ExposedAdapter to a wgpu Adapter.

Safety

hal_adapter must be created from this instance internal handle.

pub unsafe fn create_surface<W>(&self, window: &W) -> Surface where
    W: HasRawWindowHandle, 

Creates a surface from a raw window handle.

Safety

• Raw Window Handle must be a valid object to create a surface upon and must remain valid for the lifetime of the returned surface.

pub fn poll_all(&self, force_wait: bool)

Polls all devices. If force_wait is true and this is not running on the web, then this function will block until all in-flight buffers have been mapped.

pub fn generate_report(&self) -> GlobalReport

Generates memory report.

Trait Implementations

impl Debug for Instance

pub fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result<(), Error>

Formats the value using the given formatter.
