Detailed Description

Describes a single element in a vertex buffer layout.

Contains the element's name, type, size, offset within the buffer, and normalization flag.

The size is automatically computed from the ShaderDataType. The offset is computed when the layout calculates the buffer stride.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ BufferElement() [1/2]

Raven::BufferElement::BufferElement ( )

default

◆ BufferElement() [2/2]

Raven::BufferElement::BufferElement	(	ShaderDataType	type,
		std::string	name,
		bool	normalized = false )

inline

Constructs a BufferElement with type, name, and optional normalization.

The size is determined by the ShaderDataTypeSize function.

Member Function Documentation

◆ GetComponentCount()

u32 Raven::BufferElement::GetComponentCount ( ) const

inlinenodiscard

Returns the number of components in the element's type.

For example, Float3 has 3 components, Mat4 has 4. Used for setting up vertex attributes in rendering APIs.

Logs an error and returns 0 if the type is unknown.

Member Data Documentation

◆ Name

std::string Raven::BufferElement::Name
