Emit a vertex.

emit

 

Remarks

emit causes all declared o# registers to be read out of the Geometry Shader to generate a vertex.

As multiple emit calls are issued, primitives are generated.

emit can appear any number of times in a Geometry Shader, including within flow control.

If streams have been declared, you must use emit_stream.

This instruction applies to the following shader stages:
