Crate gfx_core

Expand description

Low-level graphics abstraction for Rust. Mostly operates on data, not types. Designed for use by libraries and higher-level abstractions only.

Re-exports§

buffer: Memory buffers
command: Command Buffer device interface
dummy: Dummy backend implementation to test the code for compile errors outside of the graphics development environment.
factory: Resource factory
format: Universal format specification. Applicable to textures, views, and vertex buffers.
handle: Resource handles
mapping: Memory mapping
memory: Types to describe the properties of memory allocated for gfx resources.
pso: Raw Pipeline State Objects
shade: Shader handling.
state: Fixed-function hardware state.
target: Render target specification.
texture: Texture creation and modification.

IndexType: A type of each index value in the slice’s index buffer
Primitive: Describes what geometric primitives are created from vertex data.
ShaderSet: A complete set of shaders to link a program. TODO: TransformFeedback
SubmissionError

MAX_COLOR_TARGETS: Compile-time maximum number of color targets.
MAX_CONSTANT_BUFFERS: Compile-time maximum number of constant buffers.
MAX_RESOURCE_VIEWS: Compile-time maximum number of shader resource views (SRV).
MAX_SAMPLERS: Compile-time maximum number of samplers.
MAX_UNORDERED_VIEWS: Compile-time maximum number of unordered access views (UAV).
MAX_VERTEX_ATTRIBUTES: Compile-time maximum number of vertex attributes.

Adapter: Represents a physical or virtual device, which is capable of running the backend.
CommandQueue: Dummy trait for command queues. CommandBuffers will be later submitted to command queues instead of the device.
Device: A Device is responsible for submitting CommandBuffers to the GPU.
QueueFamily: QueueFamily denotes a group of command queues provided by the backend with the same properties/type.
Resources: Different types of a specific API.
Surface: A Surface abstracts the surface of a native window, which will be presented
SwapChain: The SwapChain is the backend representation of the surface. It consists of multiple buffers, which will be presented on the surface.
