This section contains information about the functions used with Microsoft® Direct3D® Mobile Extensions. All these functions can take the same object as in and out parameters. Out parameters are typically returned as return values. This allows the output of one function to be used as a parameter to another.
The Direct3D Mobile extension functions can be broken into three categories: matrix and vector functions for floating point calculations, matrix and vector functions for fixed point calculations, and texture management functions. The floating and fixed point matrix and vector functions are identical to one another except for their numerical formats.
The following table shows the Direct3D Mobile extension functions for matrix operations.
