GeometryShaderAttribute

Description

sealed class Tinman.Gpu.Semantic.GeometryShaderAttribute

Derived from

Attribute abstract

The annotated method is the top-level entry point for a Geometry Shader (GS), for example:

[GeometryShader(TRIANGLE, TRIANGLE, 6)]
public static void GS_GeometryShaderMaterial(DataIn[] data, STREAM<DataOut> stream)
{
  gxStreamAppend(stream, ...);
  gxStreamAppend(stream, ...);
  gxStreamAppend(stream, ...);
  gxStreamReset(stream);
  gxStreamAppend(stream, ...);
  gxStreamAppend(stream, ...);
  gxStreamAppend(stream, ...);
}

A Geometry Shader method must have exactly two parameters:

  1. An array of StageInOut struct values (which has an implicit fixed size that correlates with the Input topology). Must be named 'data'.

  2. A STREAM object (where T is a StageInOut struct type) that outputs a primitive strip according to the Output topology. Must be named 'stream'.

The return type of a Geometry Shader method must be CxTypeSimple.Void.
