create_buffer()

MAYAFLUX_API std::shared_ptr< Buffers::FormaBuffer > MayaFlux::Portal::Forma::create_buffer

(

Graphics::RenderConfig

render

)

Construct and register a FormaBuffer without creating a Mapped<T>.

The buffer triangulates, so slices of any topology draw together as one batch. Elements draw into slices of it, made with FormaTarget::slice_of, each carrying its own topology. BufferManager is taken from the stored initialize() state.

With the default multi-texture shader, positive vertex weights select an image and negative weights select glyph coverage. A custom fragment shader can use different semantics, as the plot shader does for line and point geometry mixed with glyphs.

Parameters

render

Render settings; build it with Surface::render_config, which sets the window. Textures, shaders and the rest are the caller's.

Returns

Registered, render-ready FormaBuffer.
