Description

Vulkan render window that can be declared in JSON.

Multiple presentation (display) modes are available to choose from. The selected presentation mode controls how the rendered images are presented to screen: in sync, out of sync or tied to the refresh rate of the monitor. It is however possible that the selected presentation mode is not supported by the graphics hardware, if that's the case the window will revert to FIFO_KRH, which is the presentation mode every vulkan compatible device must support. A warning is issued if the selected presentation mode is unavailable.

In order to improve performance, consider lowering the sample count and disable sample based shading. If sample based shading is requested but not supported, it is disabled and a warning is issued. If the requested multi-sample count exceeds what is supported by the hardware, the highest available sample count is picked and a warning is issued.

Initialization will fail when the nap::RenderService is configured to run headless. When headless rendering is enabled, the engine is initialized without surface and swapchain support, which are required by a nap::RenderWindow to display images on screen.

Member Enumeration Documentation

EPresentationMode

enum EPresentationMode : int

strong

The various image presentation modes. Controls the way in which images are presented to screen.

Enumerator
Immediate	The new image immediately replaces the display image, screen tearing may occur.
Mailbox	The new image replaces the one image waiting in the queue, becoming the first to be displayed. No screen tearing occurs. Could result in not-shown images. CPU not synced to display refresh rate.
FIFO_Relaxed	Every image is presented in order. No screen tearing occurs when drawing faster than monitor refresh rate. CPU synced to display refresh rate.
FIFO	Every image is presented in order. No screen tearing occurs, also when drawing slower then monitor refresh rate. CPU synced to display refresh rate.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

RenderWindow()

RenderWindow

(

Core &

core

)

This constructor is called when creating the render window using the resource manager Every render window needs to be aware of it's render service

~RenderWindow()

virtual ~RenderWindow ( )

overridevirtual

Destroys all render resources

Member Function Documentation

beginRendering()

virtual void beginRendering ( )

overridevirtual

Starts a render pass. Only call this when recording is enabled.

Implements IRenderTarget.

endRendering()

virtual void endRendering ( )

overridevirtual

Ends a render pass. Always call this after beginRendering().

Implements IRenderTarget.

getBufferSize()

const glm::ivec2 getBufferSize ( ) const

overridevirtual

Returns the width and height of this window in pixels.

Returns

the width and height of this window in pixels.

Implements IRenderTarget.

getClearColor()

virtual const RGBAColorFloat& getClearColor ( ) const

overridevirtual

Returns the window clear color.

Returns

the window clear color.

Implements IRenderTarget.

getColorFormat()

virtual VkFormat getColorFormat ( ) const

overridevirtual

Returns

swapchain format used to render to window.

Implements IRenderTarget.

getDepthFormat()

virtual VkFormat getDepthFormat ( ) const

overridevirtual

Returns

depth format used by window.

Implements IRenderTarget.

getHeight()

int getHeight

(

)

const

Returns the height of the window, in screen coordinates. Note that on high DPI monitors this is not the same as the pixel count. To get the height in pixels use the size of the backbuffer using getHeightPixels().

Returns

the height of the window in pixels

getHeightPixels()

int getHeightPixels

(

)

const

Returns the height of this window in pixels.

Returns

the width of the window in pixels.

getNativeWindow()

SDL_Window* getNativeWindow

(

)

const

Returns

the hardware window handle, nullptr if undefined

getNumber()

virtual uint getNumber ( ) const

overridevirtual

Returns

the hardware window number

Implements Window.

getPosition()

const glm::ivec2 getPosition

(

)

const

Returns

the window position in pixel coordinates

getRect()

math::Rect getRect

(

)

const

Creates a rectangle based on the current width and height of the render window. Note that the returned dimensions of the rectangle can differ from the actual size in pixels on a high dpi monitor. To obtain a rectangle that contains the actual size of the window in pixels use: getRectPixels

Returns

the window as a rectangle

getRectPixels()

math::Rect getRectPixels

(

)

const

Creates a rectangle based on the current width and height of the render window in pixels.

Returns

the window as rectangle

getRenderPass()

virtual VkRenderPass getRenderPass ( ) const

overridevirtual

Returns

render pass associated with this window.

Implements IRenderTarget.

getSampleCount()

virtual VkSampleCountFlagBits getSampleCount ( ) const

overridevirtual

Returns

used number of samples when rendering to the window.

Implements IRenderTarget.

getSampleShadingEnabled()

virtual bool getSampleShadingEnabled ( ) const

overridevirtual

Returns

if sample based shading is enabled when rendering to the window.

Implements IRenderTarget.

getSize()

const glm::ivec2 getSize

(

)

const

Returns the width and height of this window, in screen coordinates. Note that on high DPI monitors this is not the same as the pixel count. To get the width and height in pixels use getBufferSize().

Returns

the size of this window in pixels, ie: the drawable / buffer size

getTitle()

const std::string& getTitle

(

)

const

Returns

the window title

getWidth()

int getWidth

(

)

const

Returns the width of the window, in screen coordinates. Note that on high DPI monitors this is not the same as the pixel count. To get the width in pixels use the size of the backbuffer using getWidthPixels().

Returns

the width of the window

getWidthPixels()

int getWidthPixels

(

)

const

Returns the width of this window in pixels.

Returns

the width of the window in pixels.

isResizable()

bool isResizable

(

)

const
