Detailed Description

Provides capability query functionality.

This can for example be used to select shader implementations or rendering paths based on GPU capabilities.

Member Function Documentation

getDeviceCapabilities()

virtual const GraphicsDeviceCapabilities & Cogs::ICapabilities::getDeviceCapabilities ( ) const

inlinevirtual

Gets the device capabilities in a structure.

Returns

A reference to a device capabilities struct.

References none.

getMaxTextureSlots()

virtual int Cogs::ICapabilities::getMaxTextureSlots ( ) const

inlinevirtual

Gets maximum number of supported texture slots.

Returns

An integer containing the maximum supported texture image units that can be used to access texture maps from the fragment shader.

getModel()

virtual int Cogs::ICapabilities::getModel ( ) const

inlinevirtual

Gets the model number of the initialized graphics device.

Returns

An integer containing the model number of the graphics device. E.g 5870 for an "AMD Radeon 5870" card.

getSeries()

virtual Series::ESeries Cogs::ICapabilities::getSeries ( ) const

inlinevirtual

Gets the series of GPUs the currently initialized graphics device belongs to.

Returns

A Series from the list of known Series.

References Cogs::Series::Unknown.

getVendor()

virtual Vendors::EVendors Cogs::ICapabilities::getVendor ( ) const

inlinevirtual

Gets the known vendor of the initialized graphics device.

Returns

A vendor from the list of known Vendors.

References Cogs::Vendors::Unknown.

supportsInstancing()

virtual bool Cogs::ICapabilities::supportsInstancing ( ) const

inlinevirtual

Check if the graphics device supports instancing.

Returns

A boolean indicating true if the graphics device supports instancing, false if not.
