Methods

extend

Method used to decorate a given object (publicAPI+model) with vtkWebGPUBufferManager characteristics.

Argument	Type	Required	Description
publicAPI		Yes	object on which methods will be bounds (public)
model		Yes	object on which data structure will be bounds (protected)
initialValues	IWebGPUBufferManagerInitialValues	No	(default: {})

getBuffer

Get or create the buffer described by the request. When the request has a hash, the buffer is looked up in and stored into the device object cache.

Argument	Type	Required	Description
req	IWebGPUBufferRequest	Yes	The buffer request.

getBufferForCellArray

Get or create a vertex buffer holding the cell data of the given array, expanded through the flat ids of the index buffer.

Argument	Type	Required	Description
dataArray		Yes	The cell data array.
indexBuffer		Yes	The index buffer providing the flat id mapping.
cellOffset	Number	No	(default: 0)

getBufferForPointArray

Get or create a vertex buffer holding the point data of the given array, expanded through the flat ids of the index buffer.

Argument	Type	Required	Description
dataArray		Yes	The point data array.
indexBuffer		Yes	The index buffer providing the flat id mapping.

getDevice

Get the device the created buffers belong to.

getFullScreenQuadBuffer

Get the shared six vertex buffer covering the whole screen.

getStorageBuffer

Get a cached read only storage buffer. The array is created only when the device cache does not contain the hash.

getStorageBufferForCellNormals

Get generated cell normals, one snorm8x4 value per cell, as a storage buffer.

hasBuffer

Get the buffer cached on the device under the given hash, if any.

Argument	Type	Required	Description
hash		Yes	The buffer hash.

newInstance

Method used to create a new instance of vtkWebGPUBufferManager.

Argument	Type	Required	Description
initialValues	IWebGPUBufferManagerInitialValues	No	for pre-setting some of its content

setDevice

Set the device the created buffers belong to.
