XMUBYTEN4 structure (directxpackedvector.h)

A 3D vector for storing unsigned, normalized values as signed 8-bits (1 byte) integers.

For a list of additional functionality such as constructors and operators that are available using XMUBYTEN4 when you are programming in C++, see XMUBYTEN4 Extensions.

XMUBYTEN4 & operator=( uint32_t Packed) noexcept

Remarks

Those XMUBYTEN4 constructors using floating point arguments require normalized input, which must be in the range of [0.0.-1.0]. During instantiation, these data are multiplied by 255.0f, results are rounded, and then assigned to the appropriate members of XMUBYTEN4.

XMUBYTEN4 can be used to load instances of XMVECTOR from normalized values, by using XMLoadUByteN4, which divides each component 255.0f, rounds the result, and then assigns the components to an XMVECTOR instance.

XMVECTOR instances containing normalized values can be stored into XMUBYTEN4 using XMStoreUByteN4, which multiplies each component by 255.0f, rounding the result, before assigning the values to the appropriate XMUBYTEN4 members.
