Description

Raw interface to Unity's drawing functions.

This is the high-level shortcut into the optimized mesh drawing functionality of Unity.

Static Methods

Method	Description
Blit	Uses a shader to copy the pixel data from a texture into a render target.
BlitMultiTap	Copies source texture into destination, for multi-tap shader.
ClearRandomWriteTargets	Unset random write targets for Shader Model 4.5 level pixel shaders.
ConvertTexture	Copies the pixel data from one texture, converts the data into a different format, and copies it into another texture.
CopyBuffer	Copies the contents of one GraphicsBuffer into another.
CopyTexture	Copies pixel data from one texture to another.
CreateAsyncGraphicsFence	Shortcut for calling Graphics.CreateGraphicsFence with GraphicsFenceType.AsyncQueueSynchronisation as the first parameter.
CreateGraphicsFence	Creates a GraphicsFence.
DrawMesh	Draw a mesh.
DrawMeshInstanced	Draws the same mesh multiple times using GPU instancing.
DrawMeshInstancedIndirect	This function is now obsolete. Use Graphics.RenderMeshIndirect instead. Draws the same mesh multiple times using GPU instancing.
DrawMeshInstancedProcedural	This function is now obsolete. Use Graphics.RenderMeshPrimitives instead. Draws the same mesh multiple times using GPU instancing. This is similar to Graphics.DrawMeshInstancedIndirect, except that when the instance count is known from script, it can be supplied directly using this method, rather than via a ComputeBuffer.
DrawMeshNow	Draw a mesh immediately.
DrawProcedural	This function is now obsolete. For non-indexed rendering, use Graphics.RenderPrimitives instead. For indexed rendering, use Graphics.RenderPrimitivesIndexed. Draws procedural geometry on the GPU.
DrawProceduralIndirect	Draws procedural geometry on the GPU.
DrawProceduralIndirectNow	Draws procedural geometry on the GPU.
DrawProceduralNow	Draws procedural geometry on the GPU.
DrawTexture	Draw a texture in screen coordinates.
ExecuteCommandBuffer	Execute a command buffer.
ExecuteCommandBufferAsync	Executes a command buffer on an async compute queue with the queue selected based on the ComputeQueueType parameter passed.
RenderMesh	Renders a mesh with given rendering parameters.
RenderMeshIndirect	Renders multiple instances of a mesh using GPU instancing and rendering command arguments from commandBuffer.
RenderMeshInstanced	Renders multiple instances of a mesh using GPU instancing.
RenderMeshPrimitives	Renders multiple instances of a Mesh using GPU instancing and a custom shader.
RenderPrimitives	Renders non-indexed primitives with GPU instancing and a custom shader.
RenderPrimitivesIndexed	Renders indexed primitives with GPU instancing and a custom shader.
RenderPrimitivesIndexedIndirect	Renders indexed primitives with GPU instancing and a custom shader with rendering command arguments from commandBuffer.
RenderPrimitivesIndirect	Renders primitives with GPU instancing and a custom shader using rendering command arguments from commandBuffer.
SetRandomWriteTarget	Set random write target for Shader Model 4.5 level pixel shaders.
SetRenderTarget	Sets current render target.
WaitOnAsyncGraphicsFence	Instructs the GPU to pause processing of the queue until it passes through the GraphicsFence fence.
