Crate hal

Expand description

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

Modules§

adapter: Physical devices and adapters.
buffer: Memory buffers.
command: Command buffers.
device: Logical device
format: Universal format specification. Applicable to textures, views, and vertex buffers.
image: Image related structures.
memory: Types to describe the properties of memory allocated for gfx resources.
pass: RenderPass handling.
pool: Command pools
prelude: Prelude module re-exports all the traits necessary to use gfx-hal.
pso: Raw Pipeline State Objects
query: Queries are commands that can be submitted to a command buffer to record statistics or other useful values as the command buffer is running. They are often intended for profiling or other introspection, providing a mechanism for the command buffer to record data about its operation as it is running.
queue: Command queues.
range: Generic range type abstraction that allows ranges to be handled a little more generically.
window: Windowing system interoperability

spec_const_list: Macro for specifying list of specialization constatns for EntryPoint.

Features: Features that the device supports. These only include features of the core interface and not API extensions.
Limits: Resource limits of a particular graphics device.
MemoryTypeId: A strongly-typed index to a particular MemoryType.
UnsupportedBackend: Error creating an instance of a backend on the platform that doesn’t support this backend.

IndexType: An enum describing the type of an index value in a slice’s index buffer

Backend: The Backend trait wraps together all the types needed for a graphics backend. Each backend module, such as OpenGL or Metal, will implement this trait with its own concrete types.
Instance: An instantiated backend.
