Struct glium::buffer::BufferSlice

pub struct BufferSlice<'a, T: ?Sized> where T: Content + 'a {
    // some fields omitted
}

Represents a sub-part of a buffer.

Methods

impl<'a, T: ?Sized> BufferSlice<'a, T> where T: Content + 'a

fn get_size(&self) -> usize

Returns the size in bytes of this slice.

fn get_context(&self) -> &Rc<Context>

Returns the context corresponding to this buffer.

fn write(&self, data: &T)

Uploads some data in this buffer.

Implementation

• For persistent-mapped buffers, waits untils the data is no longer used by the GPU then memcpies the data to the mapping.
• For immutable buffers, creates a temporary buffer that contains the data then calls glCopyBufferSubData to copy from the temporary buffer to the real one.
• For other types, calls glBufferSubData.

Panic

Panics if the length of data is different from the length of this buffer.

fn invalidate(&self)

Invalidates the content of the slice. The data becomes undefined.

This operation is a no-op if the backend doesn't support it and for persistent-mapped buffers.

Implementation

Calls glInvalidateBufferSubData if supported.

fn read(&self) -> Result<T::Owned, ReadError>

Reads the content of the buffer.

fn copy_to<S>(&self, target: S) -> Result<(), CopyError> where S: Into<BufferSlice<'a, T>>

Copies the content of this slice to another slice.

Panic

Panics if T is unsized and the other buffer is too small.

unsafe fn slice_custom<F, R: ?Sized>(&self, f: F) -> BufferSlice<'a, R> where F: for<'r> FnOnce(&'r T) -> &'r R, R: Content

Builds a slice that contains an element from inside the buffer.

This method builds an object that represents a slice of the buffer. No actual operation OpenGL is performed.

Example

#[derive(Copy, Clone)]
struct BufferContent {
    value1: u16,
    value2: u16,
}
let slice = unsafe { buffer.slice_custom(|content| &content.value2) };

Safety

The object whose reference is passed to the closure is uninitialized. Therefore you must not access the content of the object.

You must return a reference to an element from the parameter. The closure must not panic.

fn as_slice_any(&self) -> BufferAnySlice<'a>

Builds a slice-any containing the whole subbuffer.

This method builds an object that represents a slice of the buffer. No actual operation OpenGL is performed.

impl<'a, T> BufferSlice<'a, [T]> where [T]: Content + 'a

fn len(&self) -> usize

Returns the number of elements in this slice.

fn slice<R: RangeArgument<usize>>(&self, range: R) -> Option<BufferSlice<'a, [T]>>

Builds a subslice of this slice. Returns None if out of range.

This method builds an object that represents a slice of the buffer. No actual operation OpenGL is performed.

impl<'a, T> BufferSlice<'a, [T]> where T: PixelValue + 'a

fn read_as_texture_1d<S>(&self) -> Result<S, ReadError> where S: Texture1dDataSink<T>

Reads the content of the buffer.
