ZBuffer

Constructors

constructor()

Initializes a new instance of ZBuffer class. It is used to instantiate a ZBuffer object with default data values.

constructor(id: Int, dataType: ZDataType, name: String, size: Int, count: Int, normalized: Boolean, offset: Int, stride: Int, isIndexBuffer: Boolean, bufferId: Int, dataArray: ByteArray)

Initializes a ZBuffer object with the given arguments.

Properties

attributeId

val attributeId: ZAttributeId

bufferId

val bufferId: Int

Represents the buffer ID associated with the ZBuffer.

count

val count: Int

How many elements of this type are stored. Example: If we store 15 Vec3 elements in the data array the count will have a value of 15.

dataArray

val dataArray: ByteArray

Represents an array of bytes for ZBufferData data.

dataType

val dataType: ZDataType

Type of data stored

enabled

var enabled: Boolean

hasData

val hasData: Boolean

Indicates whether the data has any data.

hasRenderer

val hasRenderer: Boolean

val id: Int

ID for this Buffer.

isIndexBuffer

val isIndexBuffer: Boolean

isInitialized

override val isInitialized: Boolean

Represents a boolean value indicating whether a component has been initialized.

isRenderizable

open override val isRenderizable: Boolean = true

Represents a boolean value indicating whether a component is renderizable.

name

val name: String

normalized

val normalized: Boolean

offset

val offset: Int

refId

override val refId: Int

Represents the unique reference identifier for a component.

renderer

val renderer: ZBufferRenderer

size

val size: Int

How many elements are stored per data unit. Example: a Vec3 will have size equals to 3 in the same way a Scalar will be 1

stride

val stride: Int

If the data is tightly represented within the array how many elements it requires to be jumped to the next one Example: We store a Vec3 postion and a Vec3 normal in the very same array, the stride will be 6

Functions

bind

open fun bind()

Binds the renderer. This method is called to prepare the renderer for drawing.

initialize

override fun initialize(ctx: ZRenderingContext)

Initializes the ZComponent using the provided ZRenderingContext.

toString

open override fun toString(): String

unbind

open fun unbind()

Unbinds the renderer. This method is called after drawing to clean up.
