class GeometryBuffer in Tinman.AddOns.Rendering

Abstract base class for IGeometryBuffer implementations.

abstract class GeometryBuffer extends Disposable
  implements IGeometryBuffer

Public / Attributes

Indices

The index buffer (optional).

public property Indices { get }
type IIndexBuffer
value The index buffer or null if the geometry is not indexed.
implements IGeometryBuffer.Indices

Instances

The instance buffer (optional).

public property Instances { get }
type IVertexBuffer
value The instance buffer or null if the geometry is not instanced.
implements IGeometryBuffer.Instances

LifecycleState

Returns the lifecycle state of this object.

public virtual property LifecycleState { get }
type LifecycleState
value The lifecycle state.
inherited Disposable.LifecycleState

MemoryConsumption

Returns the estimated memory consumption of this object.

public property MemoryConsumption { get }
type int64
value [>=0] The estimated memory consumption, in bytes.
implements IMemoryConsumption.MemoryConsumption

Vertices

The vertex buffer (required).

public property Vertices { get }
type IVertexBuffer
value [not-null] The vertex buffer.
implements IGeometryBuffer.Vertices

Public / Methods

AcquireTry

Acquires a strong reference to this disposable object.

[OwnerReturn, ThreadSafe]
public method AcquireTry ()
type IDisposable
returns this if a new strong reference has been acquired, null if this object is already being disposed.
inherited Disposable.AcquireTry

Remarks:

The object will not be actually disposed by calls to Dispose when there is at least one strong reference left. Code that calls the AcquireTry method is responsible for calling the Dispose method accordingly.

This method is not intended to be used in performance-critical code. It should only be used to high-level resource management.

Dispose

Releases all resources held by this object if there are no more strong references to it, decrements the reference counter by one otherwise.

[Dispose, OwnerThis, ThreadSafe]
public method Dispose ()
inherited Disposable.Dispose

Remarks:

The Dispose method silently returns if the object has already been disposed.

Protected / Attributes

indices

The index buffer.

[Owner]
protected field indices
type IIndexBuffer

instances

The instance buffer.

[Owner]
protected field instances
type IVertexBuffer

vertices

The vertex buffer.

[Owner]
protected field vertices
type IVertexBuffer

Protected / Constructors

GeometryBuffer

Creates a new instance of GeometryBuffer.

protected constructor GeometryBuffer ([Owner] IIndexBuffer indices, [Owner] IVertexBuffer instances, [Owner] IVertexBuffer vertices)
params indices The index buffer or null.
  instances The instance buffer or null.
  vertices [not-null] The vertex buffer.

Protected / Methods

DisposeManaged

Disposes the managed resources held by a concrete subclass. This method will be called at most once per subclass.

protected override method DisposeManaged ()
overrides Disposable.DisposeManaged

Remarks:

This method will only be called when a disposable object is explicitly destroyed by user code calling the Dispose method. It will not be called when the object is collected as garbage by the system.

Overriding methods must call the DisposeManaged method of their base class. The base call should be the last statement.

The DisposeManaged method is called before the DisposeUnmanaged method.

DisposeUnmanaged

Disposes the unmanaged resources held by a concrete subclass. This method will be called exactly once per subclass.

protected virtual method DisposeUnmanaged ()
inherited Disposable.DisposeUnmanaged

Remarks:

Overriding methods must call the DisposeUnmanaged method of their base class. The base call should be the last statement.

The DisposeUnmanaged method is called after the DisposeManaged method.
