XMUBYTE4 union

Describes a 4D vector where each component is a unsigned integer, 8-bits (1 byte) in length.

A 4D vector where each component is a unsigned integer, 8-bits (1 byte) in length.

For a list of additional functionality such as constructors and operators that are available using XMUBYTE4 when you are programming in C++, see XMUBYTE4 Extensions.

Syntax

union XMUBYTE4 {
  union {
    struct {
      uint8_t x;
      uint8_t y;
      uint8_t z;
      uint8_t w;
    };
    uint32_t v;
  };
};

Members

x

Unsigned 8-bit integer value in the range [0, 255] describing the x-coordinate of the vector.

y

Unsigned 8-bit integer value in the range [0, 255] describing the y-coordinate of the vector.

z

Unsigned 8-bit integer value in the range [0, 255] describing the z-coordinate of the vector.

w

Unsigned 8-bit integer value in the range [0, 255] describing the w-coordinate of the vector.

v

Unsigned 32-bit 8-bit integer representing the 4D vector.

Remarks

XMUBYTE4 can be loaded into instances of XMVECTOR by using XMLoadUByte4.

Instances of XMVECTOR can be stored into an instance of XMUBYTE4 with XMStoreUByte4.
