Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ Usage

enum Ogre::HardwareBuffer::Usage

inherited

Enums describing buffer usage; not mutually exclusive.

Enumerator
HBU_STATIC	Static buffer which the application rarely modifies once created. Modifying the contents of this buffer will involve a performance hit.
HBU_DYNAMIC	Indicates the application would like to modify this buffer with the CPU fairly often. Buffers created with this flag will typically end up in AGP memory rather than video memory. This is the least optimal buffer setting.
HBU_WRITE_ONLY	Indicates the application will never read the contents of the buffer back, it will only ever write data. Locking a buffer with this flag will ALWAYS return a pointer to new, blank memory rather than the memory associated with the contents of the buffer; this avoids DMA stalls because you can write to a new memory area while the previous one is being used. However, you may read from it’s shadow buffer if you set one up
HBU_DISCARDABLE	Indicates that the application will be refilling the contents of the buffer regularly (not just updating, but generating the contents from scratch), and therefore does not mind if the contents of the buffer are lost somehow and need to be recreated. This allows and additional level of optimisation on the buffer. This option only really makes sense when combined with HBU_DYNAMIC_WRITE_ONLY.
HBU_STATIC_WRITE_ONLY	Combination of HBU_STATIC and HBU_WRITE_ONLY This is the optimal buffer usage setting.
HBU_DYNAMIC_WRITE_ONLY	Combination of HBU_DYNAMIC and HBU_WRITE_ONLY. If you use this, strongly consider using HBU_DYNAMIC_WRITE_ONLY_DISCARDABLE instead if you update the entire contents of the buffer very regularly.
HBU_DYNAMIC_WRITE_ONLY_DISCARDABLE	Combination of HBU_DYNAMIC, HBU_WRITE_ONLY and HBU_DISCARDABLE This means that you expect to replace the entire contents of the buffer on an extremely regular basis, most likely every frame. By selecting this option, you free the system up from having to be concerned about losing the existing contents of the buffer at any time, because if it does lose them, you will be replacing them next frame anyway. On some platforms this can make a significant performance difference, so you should try to use this whenever you have a buffer you need to update regularly. Note that if you create a buffer this way, you should use the HBL_DISCARD flag when locking the contents of it for writing.

◆ LockOptions

enum Ogre::HardwareBuffer::LockOptions

inherited

Locking options.

Enumerator
HBL_NORMAL	Normal mode, ie allows read/write and contents are preserved. This kind of lock allows reading and writing from the buffer - it’s also the least optimal because basically you’re telling the card you could be doing anything at all. If you’re not using a shadow buffer, it requires the buffer to be transferred from the card and back again. If you’re using a shadow buffer the effect is minimal.
HBL_DISCARD	Discards the entire buffer while locking. This means you are happy for the card to discard the entire current contents of the buffer. Implicitly this means you are not going to read the data - it also means that the card can avoid any stalls if the buffer is currently being rendered from, because it will actually give you an entirely different one. Use this wherever possible when you are locking a buffer which was not created with a shadow buffer. If you are using a shadow buffer it matters less, although with a shadow buffer it’s preferable to lock the entire buffer at once, because that allows the shadow buffer to use HBL_DISCARD when it uploads the updated contents to the real buffer. Only allowed on buffers created with the HBU_DYNAMIC flag.
HBL_READ_ONLY	Lock the buffer for reading only. Not allowed in buffers which are created with HBU_WRITE_ONLY. Mandatory on static buffers, i.e. those created without the HBU_DYNAMIC flag.
HBL_NO_OVERWRITE	As HBL_DISCARD, except the application guarantees not to overwrite any region of the buffer which has already been used in this frame, can allow some optimisation on some APIs. This is only useful on buffers with no shadow buffer.
HBL_WRITE_ONLY	Lock the buffer for writing only.

◆ bindToFramebuffer()

virtual void Ogre::GLRenderBuffer::bindToFramebuffer	(	uint32	attachment,
		uint32	zoffset
	)

virtual

Bind surface to frame buffer.

Needs FBO extension.

Reimplemented from Ogre::GLHardwarePixelBufferCommon.

◆ blitFromMemory() [1/2]

void Ogre::GLHardwarePixelBuffer::blitFromMemory	(	const PixelBox &	src,

virtualinherited

Copies a region from normal memory to a region of this pixelbuffer.

◆ getRenderTarget()

virtual RenderTexture* Ogre::HardwarePixelBuffer::getRenderTarget ( size_t slice = 0 )

virtualinherited

virtual void Ogre::HardwareBuffer::unlock ( void )

inlinevirtualinherited

Releases the lock on this buffer.

Remarks: Locking and unlocking a buffer can, in some rare circumstances such as switching video modes whilst the buffer is locked, corrupt the contents of a buffer. This is pretty rare, but if it occurs, this method will throw an exception, meaning you must re-upload the data.

: Note that using the 'read' and 'write' forms of updating the buffer does not suffer from this problem, so if you want to be 100% sure your data will not be lost, use the 'read' and 'write' forms instead.
