XMHALF4 structure

Describes a 4D vector consisting of four half-precision (16-bit) floating-point values.

For a list of additional functionality such as constructors and operators that are available using XMHALF4 when you are programming in C++, see XMHALF4 Extensions.

Note See DirectXMath Library Type Equivalences for information about equivalent D3DDECLTYPE, D3DFORMAT, and DXGI_FORMAT objects.

Syntax

C++


struct XMHALF4 {
  HALF x;
  HALF y;
  HALF z;
  HALF w;
};

Members

x: HALF value describing the x-coordinate.
y: HALF value describing the y-coordinate.
z: HALF value describing the z-coordinate.
w: HALF value describing the w-coordinate.

Remarks

The definition of the HALF type used under DirectXMath is consistent with the IEEE standard, and consists of a sign bit, a 5 bit biased exponent, and a 10 bit mantissa:



                    [15] SEEEEEMMMMMMMMMM [0]

XMHALF4 can be loaded into instances of XMVECTOR by using XMLoadHalf4.

Instances of XMVECTOR can be stored into an instance of XMHALF4 with XMStoreHalf4.
