Members
Member Value Description Depth 12 Vertex data contains depth data. Sample 13 Vertex data contains sampler data. (Sample with VertexElement.UsageIndex = 0) specifies the displacement value to look up. This flag can be used only with LookUpPresampled or LookUp. Fog 11 Vertex data contains fog data. (Fog with VertexElement.UsageIndex = 0) specifies a fog blend value to use after pixel shading is finished. This flag applies to pixel shaders prior to version ps_3_0. PositionTransformed 9 Vertex data contains transformed position data. (PositionTransformed with VertexElement.UsageIndex = 0) specifies the transformed position. When a declaration that contains this flag is set, the pipeline does not perform vertex processing. TessellateFactor 8 Single positive floating-point value. (TessellateFactor with VertexElement.UsageIndex = 0) specifies a tessellation factor used in the tessellation unit to control the rate of tessellation. For more information about the data type, see Float1. BiNormal 7 Vertex binormal data. Tangent 6 Vertex tangent data. TextureCoordinate 5 Texture coordinate data. (TextureCoordinate, n) specifies texture coordinates in fixed function vertex processing and in pixel shaders prior to ps_3_0. These coordinates can be used to pass user-defined data. BlendIndices 2 Blending indices data. (BlendIndices with VertexElement.UsageIndex = 0) specifies matrix indices for fixed function vertex processing using indexed paletted skinning. BlendWeight 1 Blending weight data. (BlendWeight with VertexElement.UsageIndex = 0) specifies the blend weights in fixed function vertex processing. Color 10 Vertex data contains diffuse or specular color. (Color with VertexElement.UsageIndex = 0) specifies the diffuse color in the fixed function vertex shader and in pixel shaders prior to ps_3_0. (Color with VertexElement.UsageIndex = 1) specifies the specular color in the fixed function vertex shader and in pixel shaders prior to ps_3_0. PointSize 4 Point size data. (PointSize with VertexElement.UsageIndex = 0) specifies the point-size attribute used by the setup engine of the rasterizer to expand a point into a quad for the point-sprite functionality. Normal 3 Vertex normal data. (Normal with VertexElement.UsageIndex = 0) specifies vertex normals for fixed function vertex processing and the N-patch tessellator. (Normal with VertexElement.UsageIndex = 1) specifies vertex normals for fixed function vertex processing for skinning. Position 0 Position data. (Position with VertexElement.UsageIndex = 0 ) specifies the nontransformed position in fixed function vertex processing and the N-patch tessellator. (Position with VertexElement.UsageIndex = 1) specifies the nontransformed position in the fixed function vertex shader for skinning.
Remarks
Vertex data is declared with an array of VertexElement structures. Each element in the array contains a usage type.
