interface IGeometryBuffer in Tinman.AddOns.Rendering

A buffer collection for drawing geometry.

interface	IGeometryBuffer	extends	IResource
		base of	GeometryBuffer

Attributes

Indices

The index buffer (optional).

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

Instances

The instance buffer (optional).

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

LifecycleState

Returns the lifecycle state of this object.

property	LifecycleState { get }
type	LifecycleState
value		The lifecycle state.
inherited	ILifecycleState.LifecycleState

MemoryConsumption

Returns the estimated memory consumption of this object.

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

Vertices

The vertex buffer (required).

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

Methods

AcquireTry

Acquires a strong reference to this disposable object.

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

Remarks:

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