Public / Attributes

LifecycleState

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

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.

Create

Creates content for a canvas block.

public method Create (int32 cacheIndex, ColorBuffer pixels)
params cacheIndex [>=0] The cache index of the canvas block.
  pixels [not-null] The pixel contents. The given pixel buffer will have a width and height equal to BlockSize.
implements ICanvasContent.Create

Delete

Deletes content for a canvas block.

public method Delete (int32 cacheIndex)
params cacheIndex [>=0] The cache index of the canvas block.
implements ICanvasContent.Delete

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.

Get

Returns a canvas content block.

public method Get (int32 cacheIndex)
type ColorBuffer
params cacheIndex [>=0] The cache index of the canvas block.
returns The canvas block content or null.

Reset

Resets the canvas content cache.

public method Reset (int32 cacheSize)
params cacheSize [>0] The cache size, in blocks (see CacheSize).
implements ICanvasContent.Reset
