MetalKit Namespace

Provides higher-level classes for writing applications that use Metal for rendering.

Classes

MTKMesh	Holds vertex data for rendering with Metal.
MTKMeshBuffer	A Metal buffer for holding vertex and index data for ModelIO meshes and submeshes.
MTKMeshBufferAllocator	An IMDLMeshBufferAllocator that allocates a MTKMeshBuffer suitable for use with MDLAsset objects.
MTKModel	Static class that contains MetalKit constants related to MetalKit Model errors.
MTKSubmesh	A segment of mesh data that can be rendered in a single draw call. Submesh vertex data is held in the parent MTKMesh.
MTKTextureLoader	Creates IMTLTexture objects from common image formats.
MTKTextureLoaderCubeLayoutExtensions
MTKTextureLoaderError	Key and domain strings for working with texture loading errors.
MTKTextureLoaderOptions	Contains a dictionary of texture loading options and exposes them as discoverably named properties.
MTKTextureLoaderOriginExtensions
MTKView	A UIView that is Metal-aware.
MTKView.MTKViewAppearance	Appearance class for objects of type MTKView.
MTKViewDelegate	Delegate object for MTKView objects. Provides methods called when the view is drawn and laid out.

Interfaces

IMTKViewDelegate

Interface representing the required methods (if any) of the protocol MTKViewDelegate.

Enums

MTKTextureLoaderCubeLayout

MTKTextureLoaderOrigin

Delegates

MTKTextureLoaderArrayCallback
MTKTextureLoaderCallback	Completion handler for textures loaded with MTKTextureLoader.

Remarks

The MetalKit namespace provides higher-level classes to handle:

Class	Responsibility
T:MetalKit.TextureLoader	Simplifies loading texture data.
T:MetalKit.Mesh , T:MetalKit.Submesh, T:MetalKit.MeshBuffer	Higher-level mesh manipulation.
MTKView	A Metal-aware UIView.
