Definition

public BufferSlice(BufferID id, ulong offset)

Parameters

id

BufferID
ID of the buffer.

offset

ulong
Offset from the beginning of the buffer, measured in elements of type T.

Remarks

Creates a typed view into a buffer starting at the specified element offset. The offset is measured in elements of the type T, not in bytes.
Important: The offset must not exceed the buffer's capacity, and there must be sufficient space for the intended operations. Buffer bounds checking is implementation-dependent.

Examples

// Create a buffer for 1000 Vector3 elementsBufferID buffer = context.CreateBuffer(1000, 12); // 12 bytes per Vector3// Create slices for different portionsvar firstHalf = new BufferSlice<Vector3>(buffer, 0);   // Elements 0-499var secondHalf = new BufferSlice<Vector3>(buffer, 500); // Elements 500-999// Use slices independentlycontext.WriteBuffer(firstHalf, firstHalfData);context.WriteBuffer(secondHalf, secondHalfData);
