SDL_GPUPrimitiveType(3type)

NAME
SDL_GPUPrimitiveType - Specifies the primitive topology of a graphics pipeline.

HEADER FILE
Defined in SDL3/SDL_gpu.h

SYNOPSIS
#include "SDL3/SDL.h"

typedef enum SDL_GPUPrimitiveType
{
    SDL_GPU_PRIMITIVETYPE_TRIANGLELIST,  /**< A series of separate triangles. */
    SDL_GPU_PRIMITIVETYPE_TRIANGLESTRIP, /**< A series of connected triangles. */
    SDL_GPU_PRIMITIVETYPE_LINELIST,      /**< A series of separate lines. */
    SDL_GPU_PRIMITIVETYPE_LINESTRIP,     /**< A series of connected lines. */
    SDL_GPU_PRIMITIVETYPE_POINTLIST      /**< A series of separate points. */
} SDL_GPUPrimitiveType;

DESCRIPTION
If you are using POINTLIST you must include a point size output in the vertex shader.

• For HLSL compiling to SPIRV you must decorate a float output with
  [[vk::builtin("PointSize")]].

• For GLSL you must set the gl_PointSize builtin.

• For MSL you must include a float output with the [[point_size]]
  decorator.

Note that sized point topology is totally unsupported on D3D12. Any size other than 1 will be ignored. In general, you should avoid using point topology for both compatibility and performance reasons. You WILL regret using it.

AVAILABILITY
This enum is available since SDL 3.2.0.
