XMFLOAT3PK union

Describes a 3D vector with X and Y components stored as 11 bit floating point number, and Z component stored as a 10 bit floating-point value.

For a list of additional functionality, such as constructors and operators, available using XMFLOAT3PK when programming in C++, see XMFLOAT3PK Extensions.

Syntax

C++


union XMFLOAT3PK {
  union {
    struct {
      uint32_t xm : 6;
      uint32_t xe : 5;
      uint32_t ym : 6;
      uint32_t ye : 5;
      uint32_t zm : 5;
      uint32_t ze : 5;
    };
    uint32_t v;
  };
};

Members

xm : 6: The 6-bit mantissa for the x component.
xe : 5: The 5-bit biased exponent for the x component.
ym : 6: The 6-bit mantissa for the y component.
ye : 5: The 5-bit biased exponent for the y component.
zm : 5: The 5-bit mantissa for the z component.
ze : 5: The 5-bit biased exponent for the z component.
v: Unsigned 32-bit integer representing the 3D vector.

Remarks

There are no sign bits. This means all partial-precision numbers are positive. The z component is stored in the most significant bits, and the x component is stored in the least significant bits like this:



  (Z10Y11X11): [31] ZZZZZzzz zzYYYYYy yyyyyXXX XXxxxxxx [0]

Or in detail:

Bits 0-5 of v are the 6 bit mantissa of the x component's floating point value: the xm member of the structure.
Bits 6-10 of v are the 5 bit exponent of the x component's floating point value the xe member of the structure.
Bits 11-16 of v are the 6-bit mantissa of the y component's floating point value: the ym member of the structure.
Bits 17-21 of v are the 5 bit exponent of the y component's floating point value: the ye member of the structure.
Bits 22-26 of v are the 5 bit mantissa of the z component's floating point value: the zm member of the structure.
Bits 27-31 of v are the 5 bit exponent of the z component's floating point value: the ze member of the structure.

XMFLOAT3PK can be loaded into instances of XMVECTOR by using XMLoadFloat3PK.

Instances of XMVECTOR can be stored into an instance of XMFLOAT3PK with XMStoreFloat3PK.
