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. It is up the implementation to decide if bounds checking on Buffer access is performed.

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);
