Struct SpriteBatchContext

Namespace
MLEM.Graphics
Assembly
MLEM.dll

A sprite batch context is a set of information for a Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics.SpriteBatch to use, which encapsulates all of the information usually passed directly to SpriteBatch.Begin. To use a sprite batch context effectively, the extension methods in SpriteBatchContextExtensions should be used.

Constructors

SpriteBatchContext(SpriteSortMode, BlendState, SamplerState, DepthStencilState, RasterizerState, Effect, Matrix?)

Creates a new sprite batch context with the given parameters.

public SpriteBatchContext(SpriteSortMode sortMode = SpriteSortMode.Deferred, BlendState blendState = null, SamplerState samplerState = null, DepthStencilState depthStencilState = null, RasterizerState rasterizerState = null, Effect effect = null, Matrix? transformMatrix = null)

Parameters

sortMode SpriteSortMode

The drawing order for sprite and text drawing. Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics.SpriteSortMode.Deferred by default.

blendState BlendState

State of the blending. Uses Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics.BlendState.AlphaBlend if null.

samplerState SamplerState

State of the sampler. Uses Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics.SamplerState.LinearClamp if null.

depthStencilState DepthStencilState

State of the depth-stencil buffer. Uses Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics.DepthStencilState.None if null.

rasterizerState RasterizerState

State of the rasterization. Uses Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics.RasterizerState.CullCounterClockwise if null.

effect Effect

A custom Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics.Effect to override the default sprite effect.

transformMatrix Matrix?

An optional matrix used to transform the sprite geometry. Uses Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Matrix.Identity if null.

Fields

BlendState

State of the blending.

public BlendState BlendState

Field Value

BlendState

DepthStencilState

State of the depth-stencil buffer.

public DepthStencilState DepthStencilState

Field Value

DepthStencilState

Effect

A custom Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics.Effect to override the default sprite effect.

public Effect Effect

Field Value

Effect

RasterizerState

State of the rasterization.

public RasterizerState RasterizerState

Field Value

RasterizerState

SamplerState

State of the sampler.

public SamplerState SamplerState

Field Value

SamplerState

SortMode

The drawing order for sprite and text drawing.

public SpriteSortMode SortMode

Field Value

SpriteSortMode

TransformMatrix

An optional matrix used to transform the sprite geometry.

public Matrix TransformMatrix

Field Value

Matrix

Methods

Current(GraphicsDevice, SpriteSortMode, Effect, Matrix?)

Creates a new sprite batch context from the passed Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics.GraphicsDevice's current information. This can be useful to retrieve some information about drawing right after a Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics.SpriteBatch.End() call has occured.

public static SpriteBatchContext Current(GraphicsDevice device, SpriteSortMode sortMode = SpriteSortMode.Deferred, Effect effect = null, Matrix? transformMatrix = null)

Parameters

device GraphicsDevice

The graphics device to query data from.

sortMode SpriteSortMode

The drawing order for sprite and text drawing. Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics.SpriteSortMode.Deferred by default.

effect Effect

A custom Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics.Effect to override the default sprite effect.

transformMatrix Matrix?

An optional matrix used to transform the sprite geometry. Uses Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Matrix.Identity if null.

Returns

SpriteBatchContext

A new sprite batch context from the device's current information.
