Detailed Description

A render buffer is a handle to a data resource that can be rendered into, such as a 2d image for a draw target or auxiliary rendering output.

The render buffer can be used as an indexed prim, in which case it communicates with the scene delegate to get buffer properties, or it can be created out of band and supplied directly with allocation parameters.

Render buffers can be targeted by render passes. They also contain mapping functionality for reading and writing buffer data.

Member Function Documentation

virtual void _Deallocate ( )
protectedpure virtual

Deallocate the buffer, freeing any owned resources.

virtual bool Allocate ( GfVec3i const &  dimensions,
HdFormat  format,
bool  multiSampled 
)
pure virtual

Allocate a buffer.

Can be called from Sync(), or directly. If the buffer has already been allocated, calling Allocate() again will destroy the old buffer and allocate a new one.

A negative dimension or invalid format will cause an allocation error. If the requested buffer can't be allocated, the function will return false.

virtual HD_API void Finalize ( HdRenderParam renderParam)
overridevirtual

Deallocate before deletion.

Reimplemented from HdBprim.

virtual unsigned int GetDepth ( ) const
pure virtual

Get the buffer's depth.

virtual HdFormat GetFormat ( ) const
pure virtual

Get the buffer's per-pixel format.

virtual unsigned int GetHeight ( ) const
pure virtual

Get the buffer's height.

virtual HD_API HdDirtyBits GetInitialDirtyBitsMask ( ) const
overridevirtual

Get initial invalidation state.

Implements HdBprim.

virtual VtValue GetResource ( bool  multiSampled) const
inlinevirtual

This optional API returns a (type-erased) resource that backs this render buffer.

For example, a render buffer implementation may allocate a gpu texture that holds the data of the buffer. This function allows other parts of Hydra, such as a HdTask to get access to this resource.

Definition at line 131 of file renderBuffer.h.

virtual unsigned int GetWidth ( ) const
pure virtual

Get the buffer's width.

virtual bool IsConverged ( ) const
pure virtual

Return whether the buffer is converged (whether the renderer is still adding samples or not).

virtual bool IsMapped ( ) const
pure virtual

Return whether the buffer is currently mapped by anybody.

virtual bool IsMultiSampled ( ) const
pure virtual

Get whether the buffer is multisampled.

virtual void* Map ( )
pure virtual

Map the buffer for reading.

virtual void Resolve ( )
pure virtual

Resolve the buffer so that reads reflect the latest writes.

Some buffer implementations may defer final processing of writes until a buffer is read, for efficiency; examples include OpenGL MSAA or multi-sampled raytraced buffers.

virtual HD_API void Sync ( HdSceneDelegate sceneDelegate,
HdRenderParam renderParam,
HdDirtyBits *  dirtyBits 
)
overridevirtual

Get allocation information from the scene delegate.

Implements HdBprim.

virtual void Unmap ( )
pure virtual

Unmap the buffer. It is no longer safe to read from the buffer.
