class SampleBufferFloat32 in Tinman.Terrain.Buffers

Abstract base class for ISampleBuffer implementations that store 32-bit floating-point values as buffer samples.

abstract class	SampleBufferFloat32	extends	SampleBuffer<float32>
		base of	DistanceBuffer
			NormalBuffer
			SlopeBuffer

Public / Attributes

Height

The height of the buffer, in samples.

public property	Height { get }
type	int32
value	[>0]	The height of the buffer, in samples.
inherited	SampleBuffer.Height

IsPacked

Returns if this sample buffer is densely packed.

public property	IsPacked { get }
type	bool
value		true if this buffer is densely packed, false if not.
inherited	SampleBuffer.IsPacked

Remarks:

A packed sample buffer can be indexed with the following scheme:

Samples[(y * Width + x) * TupleSize + 0] := 1st value of sample at (x,y).
Samples[(y * Width + x) * TupleSize + 1] := 2nd value of sample at (x,y).
...
Samples[(y * Width + x) * TupleSize + TupleSize - 1] := last value of sample.

Thus the samples of a densely packed buffer form a contiguous region in memory.

MemoryConsumption

Returns the estimated memory consumption of this object.

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

Samples

The samples of this buffer.

public property	Samples { get }
type	T[]
value	[not-null]	The buffer sample array.
inherited	SampleBuffer.Samples

Remarks:

The buffer stores TupleSize values per sample in row-major order.
The returned array can be indexed as follows:

Samples[Offset + y * Stride + x * TupleSize + 0] := 1st value of sample at (x,y).
Samples[Offset + y * Stride + x * TupleSize + 1] := 2nd value of sample at (x,y).
...
Samples[Offset + y * Stride + x * TupleSize + TupleSize - 1] := last value of sample.

where x and y are the coordinates of the sample to access.

Public / Methods

ApplyTransform

Perform an in-place Transform of the samples in the given region.

public method	ApplyTransform (int32 x, int32 y, int32 width, int32 height, Transform transform)
params	x	[0..Width]	X-coordinate of top-left sample of region.
	y	[0..Height]	Y-coordinate of top-left sample of region.

Remarks:

For square regions (i.e. same width and height), all Transform s can be applied in-place. For rectangular regions, width and height might be swapped ( WillSwapAxes) while the top-left sample of the given region remains in the same place.

If this sample buffer is not big enough to hold the swapped width resp. height, output samples will be discarded.

This method reads samples from the given input region and writes samples to the transformed output region. No other sample are accessed by this method.

Remarks:

This method allows sample buffers to be used in a toroidal manner (i.e. as a two-dimensional ringbuffer).

Specifying a positive value for x will create space for new samples at the left buffer border, a negative value for x will create space at the right border.

Specifying a positive value for y will create space for new samples at the top buffer border, a negative value for y will create space at the bottom border.

The contents of the samples in the additional space at the buffer border is unspecified and must be set by the application.
