Implementations

impl<'a> RenderPass<'a>

pub fn set_bind_group( &mut self, index: u32, bind_group: &'a BindGroup, offsets: &[DynamicOffset] )

Sets the active bind group for a given bind group index. The bind group layout in the active pipeline when any draw() function is called must match the layout of this bind group.

If the bind group have dynamic offsets, provide them in binding order. These offsets have to be aligned to Limits::min_uniform_buffer_offset_alignment or Limits::min_storage_buffer_offset_alignment appropriately.

pub fn set_pipeline(&mut self, pipeline: &'a RenderPipeline)

Sets the active render pipeline.

Subsequent draw calls will exhibit the behavior defined by pipeline.

pub fn set_blend_constant(&mut self, color: Color)

Sets the blend color as used by some of the blending modes.

Subsequent blending tests will test against this value.

pub fn set_index_buffer( &mut self, buffer_slice: BufferSlice<'a>, index_format: IndexFormat )

Sets the active index buffer.

Subsequent calls to draw_indexed on this RenderPass will use buffer as the source index buffer.

pub fn set_vertex_buffer(&mut self, slot: u32, buffer_slice: BufferSlice<'a>)

Assign a vertex buffer to a slot.

Subsequent calls to draw and draw_indexed on this RenderPass will use buffer as one of the source vertex buffers.

The slot refers to the index of the matching descriptor in VertexState::buffers.

pub fn set_scissor_rect(&mut self, x: u32, y: u32, width: u32, height: u32)

Sets the viewport used during the rasterization stage to linearly map from normalized device coordinates to viewport coordinates.

Subsequent draw calls will draw any fragments in this region.

Sets the stencil reference.

Subsequent stencil tests will test against this value.

pub fn draw(&mut self, vertices: Range<u32>, instances: Range<u32>)

Panics if indices Range is outside of the range of the indices range of any set index buffer.

indices: The range of indices to draw. base_vertex: value added to each index value before indexing into the vertex buffers. instances: Range of Instances to draw. Use 0..1 if instance buffers are not used. E.g.of how its used internally

for instance_id in instance_range {
    for index_index in index_range {
        let vertex_id = index_buffer[index_index];

impl<'a> RenderPass<'a>

Features::PUSH_CONSTANTS must be enabled on the device in order to call these functions.

pub fn set_push_constants( &mut self, stages: ShaderStages, offset: u32, data: &[u8] )

Set push constant data for subsequent draw calls.

Write the bytes in data at offset offset within push constant storage, all of which are accessible by all the pipeline stages in stages, and no others. Both offset and the length of data must be multiples of PUSH_CONSTANT_ALIGNMENT, which is always 4.

For example, if offset is 4 and data is eight bytes long, this call will write data to bytes 4..12 of push constant storage.

Stage matching

Every byte in the affected range of push constant storage must be accessible to exactly the same set of pipeline stages, which must match stages. If there are two bytes of storage that are accessible by different sets of pipeline stages - say, one is accessible by fragment shaders, and the other is accessible by both fragment shaders and vertex shaders - then no single set_push_constants call may affect both of them; to write both, you must make multiple calls, each with the appropriate stages value.

Which pipeline stages may access a given byte is determined by the pipeline’s PushConstant global variable and (if it is a struct) its members’ offsets.

For example, suppose you have twelve bytes of push constant storage, where bytes 0..8 are accessed by the vertex shader, and bytes 4..12 are accessed by the fragment shader. This means there are three byte ranges each accessed by a different set of stages:

• Bytes 0..4 are accessed only by the fragment shader.

• Bytes 4..8 are accessed by both the fragment shader and the vertex shader.

• Bytes 8..12 are accessed only by the vertex shader.

To write all twelve bytes requires three set_push_constants calls, one for each range, each passing the matching stages mask.

Features::TIMESTAMP_QUERY_INSIDE_PASSES must be enabled on the device in order to call these functions.

pub fn write_timestamp(&mut self, query_set: &QuerySet, query_index: u32)

Issue a timestamp command at this point in the queue. The timestamp will be written to the specified query set, at the specified index.

Must be multiplied by Queue::get_timestamp_period to get the value in nanoseconds. Absolute values have no meaning, but timestamps can be subtracted to get the time it takes for a string of operations to complete.

Features::PIPELINE_STATISTICS_QUERY must be enabled on the device in order to call these functions.

pub fn begin_pipeline_statistics_query( &mut self, query_set: &QuerySet, query_index: u32 )
