FixedPoint Structure

Represents a 16.16 fixed-point number.

Namespace:  Microsoft.WindowsMobile.DirectX.Direct3D
Assembly:  Microsoft.WindowsMobile.DirectX (in Microsoft.WindowsMobile.DirectX.dll)

'Declaration
Public Structure FixedPoint _
	Implements IComparable, IFormattable, IConvertible
'Usage
Dim instance As FixedPoint

This structure is used to interoperate with the various types in Windows Mobile Direct 3D that have fixed-point interfaces. The internal representation of this class is an Int32 structure.

The following example shows how you can use a FixedPoint structure.

' The following code is from the 
' Direct3D Mobile Fixed Point Billboard Sample. 
' It uses FixedPoint to position meshes of trees randomly. 
' Initialize the tree data 
Dim i As Integer 
For i = 0 To numberTrees - 1
    Dim t As New Tree()
    ' Position the trees randomly
    Do
        Dim fTheta As Single = 2.0F * _
            System.Convert.ToSingle(Math.PI) * _
            System.Convert.ToSingle(randObj.NextDouble())
        Dim fRadius As Single = 25.0F + 55.0F * _
            System.Convert.ToSingle(randObj.NextDouble())
        Dim position As Vector3Fixed
        position.X = CType(fRadius * _
            System.Convert.ToSingle( _
            Math.Sin(fTheta)), FixedPoint)
        position.Z = CType(fRadius * _
            System.Convert.ToSingle(Math.Cos(fTheta)), FixedPoint)
        position.Y = CType(HeightField( _
            System.Convert.ToSingle(position.X), _
            System.Convert.ToSingle(position.Z)), FixedPoint)
        t.Position = position
    Loop While Not IsTreePositionValid(t.Position)
