GraphicsDevice Class
Performs primitive-based rendering, creates resources, handles system-level variables, and creates shaders.
Namespace: Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics
Assembly: Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics (in Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics.dll)
The GraphicsDevice type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | Adapter | Gets the graphics adapter. |
| BlendFactor | Gets or sets the color used for a constant-blend factor during alpha blending. The default value is White. |
| BlendState | Gets or sets a system-defined instance of a blend state object initialized for alpha blending. The default value is Opaque. |
| DepthStencilState | Gets or sets a system-defined instance of a depth-stencil state object. The default value is Default. |
| Indices | Gets or sets index data. The default value is null. |
| MultiSampleMask | Gets or sets a bitmask controlling modification of the samples in a multisample render target. The default value is -1 (0xffffffff). |
| PresentationParameters | Gets the presentation parameters associated with this graphics device. |
| RasterizerState | Gets or sets rasterizer state. The default value is CullCounterClockwise. |
| ReferenceStencil | Gets or sets a reference value for stencil testing. The default value is zero. |
| SamplerStates | Gets a collection of SamplerState objects for the current GraphicsDevice. |
| ScissorRectangle | Gets or sets the rectangle used for scissor testing. By default, the size matches the render target size. |
| Textures | Gets the collection of textures that have been assigned to the texture stages of the device. |
| Viewport | Gets or sets a viewport identifying the portion of the render target to receive draw calls. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| Clear(Color) | Clears resource buffers. |
| Clear(ClearOptions, Color, Single, Int32) | Clears resource buffers. |
| DrawIndexedPrimitives | Renders the specified geometric primitive, based on indexing into an array of vertices. |
| DrawPrimitives | Renders a sequence of non-indexed geometric primitives of the specified type from the current set of data input streams. |
| GetRenderTargets | Gets a render target surface. |
| GetVertexBuffers | Gets the vertex buffers. |
| SetRenderTarget(RenderTarget2D) | Sets a new render target for this GraphicsDevice. |
| SetRenderTarget(RenderTargetCube, CubeMapFace) | Sets a new render target for this GraphicsDevice. |
| SetRenderTargets | Sets an array of render targets. |
| SetVertexBuffer(VertexBuffer) | Sets or binds a vertex buffer to the device. |
| SetVertexBuffer(VertexBuffer, Int32) | Sets or binds a vertex buffer to the device. |
| SetVertexBuffers | Sets the vertex buffers. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| GetPixelShader | Gets the PixelShader that is associated with the specified GraphicsDevice. (Defined by GraphicsDeviceExtensions.) |
| GetVertexShader | Gets the VertexShader associated with the specified GraphicsDevice. (Defined by GraphicsDeviceExtensions.) |
| SetPixelShader | Associates the specified PixelShader with the specified GraphicsDevice. (Defined by GraphicsDeviceExtensions.) |
| SetPixelShaderConstantFloat4<T>(Int32, T) | Overloaded. Sets a constant register to a generic data type which is passed to the pixel shader on the graphics device. (Defined by GraphicsDeviceExtensions.) |
| SetPixelShaderConstantFloat4<T>(Int32, Int32, T) | Overloaded. Sets a constant register to a generic data type which is passed to the pixel shader on the graphics device. (Defined by GraphicsDeviceExtensions.) |
| SetVertexShader | Associates the specified VertexShader with the specified GraphicsDevice. (Defined by GraphicsDeviceExtensions.) |
| SetVertexShaderConstantFloat4<T>(Int32, T) | Overloaded. Sets a constant register to a generic data type which is passed to the vertex shader on the graphics device. (Defined by GraphicsDeviceExtensions.) |
| SetVertexShaderConstantFloat4<T>(Int32, Int32, T) | Overloaded. Sets a constant register to a generic data type which is passed to the vertex shader on the graphics device. (Defined by GraphicsDeviceExtensions.) |
