VertexFormats Enumeration

[This documentation is for preview only, and is subject to change in later releases. Blank topics are included as placeholders.]

Describes values that define a vertex format used to describe the contents of vertices that are stored interleaved in a single data stream.

This enumeration has a FlagsAttribute attribute that allows a bitwise combination of its member values.

Members

	Member name	Description
	Position	Mask for position bits.
	PositionFixed	Same as Position, but for fixed-point math operations.
	TransformedFixed	Same as Transformed, but for fixed-point math operations.
	Transformed	Mask value for texture flag bits.
	PositionMask	Mask for position bits.
	Normal	Vertex format includes a vertex normal vector. This value cannot be used with the Transformed flag.
	NormalFixed	Same as Normal, but for fixed-point math operations.
	NormalMask	Mask for normal bits.
	Diffuse	Vertex format includes a diffuse color component.
	Specular	Vertex format includes a specular color component.
	TextureCountMask	Mask value for texture flag bits.
	TextureCountShift	Number of bits by which to shift an integer value that identifies the number of texture coordinates for a vertex.
	Texture0	No texture coordinate sets for this vertex. The values for these flags are not sequential.
	Texture1	One texture coordinate set for this vertex. The values for these flags are not sequential.
	Texture2	Two texture coordinate sets for this vertex. The values for these flags are not sequential.
	Texture3	Three texture coordinate sets for this vertex. The values for these flags are not sequential.
	Texture4	Four texture coordinate sets for this vertex. The values for these flags are not sequential.
	PositionNormal	Vertex format includes a vertex normal vector. This value cannot be used with the Transformed value.
	PositionNormalFixed	Same as PositionNormal, but for fixed-point math operations.

Remarks

Vertex format codes generally are used to specify data to be processed by fixed function vertex processing. You can use the VertexTextureCoordinate class to construct VertexFormats values.

Examples

The following example demonstrates how to use a VertexFormats enumeration.

Dim fvf As VertexFormats
' The vertex format code for a vertex with a position and one 2-D texture coordinate.
fvf = VertexFormats.Position Or VertexFormats.Texture1
' The vertex format code for a vertex with a position, a vertex normal vector,
' and two 2-D texture coordinates.
fvf = VertexFormats.Position Or VertexFormats.Normal Or VertexFormats.Texture2
' The vertex format code for a vertex with a position and two 1-D texture coordinates.
fvf = VertexFormats.Position Or VertexFormats.Texture2 Or VertexTextureCoordinate.Size1(0) Or VertexTextureCoordinate.Size1(1)
' The vertex format code for a vertex with a position and two 1-D texture coordinates with fixed point data.
fvf = VertexFormats.PositionFixed Or VertexFormats.Texture2 Or VertexTextureCoordinate.Size1(0) Or VertexTextureCoordinate.Size1(1) Or VertexTextureCoordinate.Fixed(0) Or VertexTextureCoordinate.Fixed(1)

VertexFormats fvf;
// The vertex format code for a vertex with a position and one 2-D texture coordinate.
fvf = VertexFormats.Position | VertexFormats.Texture1;
// The vertex format code for a vertex with a position, a vertex normal vector,
// and two 2-D texture coordinates.
fvf = VertexFormats.Position | VertexFormats.Normal | VertexFormats.Texture2;
// The vertex format code for a vertex with a position and two 1-D texture coordinates.
fvf = VertexFormats.Position | VertexFormats.Texture2 | VertexTextureCoordinate.Size1(0) | VertexTextureCoordinate.Size1(1);
// The vertex format code for a vertex with a position and two 1-D texture coordinates with fixed point data.
fvf = VertexFormats.PositionFixed | VertexFormats.Texture2 | VertexTextureCoordinate.Size1(0) | 
    VertexTextureCoordinate.Size1(1) | VertexTextureCoordinate.Fixed(0) | VertexTextureCoordinate.Fixed(1);
