Struct bevy::render::render_resource::CommandEncoder

pub struct CommandEncoder { /* private fields */ }

Encodes a series of GPU operations.

A command encoder can record [RenderPass]es, ComputePasses, and transfer operations between driver-managed resources like [Buffer]s and [Texture]s.

When finished recording, call CommandEncoder::finish to obtain a [CommandBuffer] which may be submitted for execution.

Corresponds to WebGPU GPUCommandEncoder.

Implementations

impl CommandEncoder

pub fn finish(self) -> CommandBuffer

Finishes recording and returns a [CommandBuffer] that can be submitted for execution.

pub fn copy_texture_to_texture( &mut self, source: ImageCopyTexture<&Texture>, destination: ImageCopyTexture<&Texture>, copy_size: Extent3d )

Copy data from one texture to another.

Panics

• Textures are not the same type
• If a depth texture, or a multisampled texture, the entire texture must be copied
• Copy would overrun either texture

pub fn clear_texture( &mut self, texture: &Texture, subresource_range: &ImageSubresourceRange )

Clears texture to zero.

Note that unlike with clear_buffer, COPY_DST usage is not required.

Implementation notes

• implemented either via buffer copies and render/depth target clear, path depends on texture usages
• behaves like texture zero init, but is performed immediately (clearing is not delayed via marking it as uninitialized)

Panics

• CLEAR_TEXTURE extension not enabled
• Range is out of bounds

pub fn clear_buffer(&mut self, buffer: &Buffer, offset: u64, size: Option<u64>)

Clears buffer to zero.

Panics

• Buffer does not have COPY_DST usage.
• Range is out of bounds

pub fn insert_debug_marker(&mut self, label: &str)

Inserts debug marker.

pub fn push_debug_group(&mut self, label: &str)

Start record commands and group it into debug marker group.

pub fn pop_debug_group(&mut self)

Stops command recording and creates debug group.

pub fn resolve_query_set( &mut self, query_set: &QuerySet, query_range: Range<u32>, destination: &Buffer, destination_offset: u64 )

Resolves a query set, writing the results into the supplied destination buffer.

Occlusion and timestamp queries are 8 bytes each (see [crate::QUERY_SIZE]). For pipeline statistics queries, see [PipelineStatisticsTypes] for more information.

impl CommandEncoder

Features::TIMESTAMP_QUERY must be enabled on the device in order to call these functions.

pub fn write_timestamp(&mut self, query_set: &QuerySet, query_index: u32)

Issue a timestamp command at this point in the queue. The timestamp will be written to the specified query set, at the specified index.

Must be multiplied by [Queue::get_timestamp_period] to get the value in nanoseconds. Absolute values have no meaning, but timestamps can be subtracted to get the time it takes for a string of operations to complete.

Trait Implementations

impl Debug for CommandEncoder

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result<(), Error>

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Drop for CommandEncoder

fn drop(&mut self)

Executes the destructor for this type.
