Struct wgpu::Device

pub struct Device { /* fields omitted */ }

An open connection to a graphics and/or compute device.

The Device is the responsible for the creation of most rendering and compute resources, as well as exposing Queue objects.

Implementations

impl Device

pub fn poll(&self, maintain: Maintain)

Check for resource cleanups and mapping callbacks.

pub fn create_shader_module(&self, spv: &[u32]) -> ShaderModule

Creates a shader module from SPIR-V source code.

pub fn create_command_encoder(
    &self,
    desc: &CommandEncoderDescriptor
) -> CommandEncoder

Creates an empty CommandEncoder.

pub fn create_bind_group(&self, desc: &BindGroupDescriptor) -> BindGroup

Creates a new bind group.

pub fn create_bind_group_layout(
    &self,
    desc: &BindGroupLayoutDescriptor
) -> BindGroupLayout

Creates a bind group layout.

pub fn create_pipeline_layout(
    &self,
    desc: &PipelineLayoutDescriptor
) -> PipelineLayout

Creates a pipeline layout.

pub fn create_render_pipeline(
    &self,
    desc: &RenderPipelineDescriptor
) -> RenderPipeline

Creates a render pipeline.

pub fn create_compute_pipeline(
    &self,
    desc: &ComputePipelineDescriptor
) -> ComputePipeline

Creates a compute pipeline.

pub fn create_buffer(&self, desc: &BufferDescriptor) -> Buffer

Creates a new buffer.

pub fn create_buffer_mapped(
    &self,
    desc: &BufferDescriptor
) -> CreateBufferMapped

Creates a new buffer and maps it into host-visible memory.

This returns a CreateBufferMapped, which exposes a &mut [u8]. The actual Buffer will not be created until calling CreateBufferMapped::finish.

pub fn create_buffer_with_data(&self, data: &[u8], usage: BufferUsage) -> Buffer

Creates a new buffer, maps it into host-visible memory, copies data from the given slice, and finally unmaps it, returning a Buffer.

pub fn create_texture(&self, desc: &TextureDescriptor) -> Texture

Creates a new Texture.

desc specifies the general format of the texture.

pub fn create_sampler(&self, desc: &SamplerDescriptor) -> Sampler

Creates a new Sampler.

desc specifies the behavior of the sampler.

pub fn create_swap_chain(
    &self,
    surface: &Surface,
    desc: &SwapChainDescriptor
) -> SwapChain

Create a new SwapChain which targets surface.

Trait Implementations

impl Debug for Device

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Drop for Device

fn drop(&mut self)

Executes the destructor for this type.
