Detailed Description

Texture view interface.

Remarks
To create a texture view, call ITexture::CreateView(). Texture view holds strong references to the texture. The texture will not be destroyed until all views are released. The texture view will also keep a strong reference to the texture sampler, if any is set.

Member Function Documentation

◆ GenerateMips()

virtual void Diligent::ITextureView::GenerateMips ( IDeviceContext *  pContext)
pure virtual

Generates a mipmap chain.

Remarks
This function can only be called for a shader resource view The texture must be created with MISC_TEXTURE_FLAG_GENERATE_MIPS flag

Implemented in Diligent::TextureViewD3D11Impl, Diligent::TextureViewGLImpl, and Diligent::TextureViewD3D12Impl.

◆ GetSampler()

virtual ISampler* Diligent::ITextureView::GetSampler ( )
pure virtual

Returns the pointer to the sampler object set by the ITextureView::SetSampler().

The method does NOT call AddRef() on the returned interface, so Release() must not be called.

Implemented in Diligent::TextureViewBase< ITextureViewD3D11 >, Diligent::TextureViewBase< ITextureViewD3D12 >, and Diligent::TextureViewBase< ITextureViewGL >.

◆ GetTexture()

virtual class ITexture* Diligent::ITextureView::GetTexture ( )
pure virtual

Returns the pointer to the referenced texture object.

The method does NOT call AddRef() on the returned interface, so Release() must not be called.

Implemented in Diligent::TextureViewBase< ITextureViewD3D11 >, Diligent::TextureViewBase< ITextureViewD3D12 >, and Diligent::TextureViewBase< ITextureViewGL >.
