◆ FreeRenderingResources()

virtual void cohtml::ViewRenderer::FreeRenderingResources ( )
pure virtual

Frees all rendering resources used by Hummingbird that are associated with this specific view. To free all resources, you need to call this method on all ViewRenderer objects and on the SystemRenderer.

Note
Per-view rendering resources are the constant/vertex/index buffers (except path buffers).

◆ SetRenderTarget()

virtual void cohtml::ViewRenderer::SetRenderTarget ( void *  nativeTexture,
void *  nativeDepthStencil,
unsigned  width,
unsigned  height,
unsigned  samples 
)
pure virtual

Sets the user texture that will be used for rendering.

Parameters
nativeTextureAn opaque object that will later be passed to the rendering backend. This should represent the texture to draw into in whatever object is expected by the backend.
nativeDepthStencilAn opaque object that will later be passed to the rendering backend. This should represent the depth-stencil texture in whatever object is expected by the backend.
widththe width of the backend texture
heightthe height of the backend texture
samplesthe number of samples of the target texture if MSAA is used. Set to 1 if no MSAA is enabled.
