Class GBuffer, Class GBufReader, Structure GBufData, G-Buffer Channel Indices

Description:

This is the writer object returned from GBuffer::CreateWriter(). This class assumes pixels are created in increasing order of x.

Here is an example of writing multiple layer data to the G-Buffer using methods of this class.

GBuffer *gb = NewDefaultGBuffer();
gb->SetRasterSize(100,10);
gb->CreateChannels((1<<GB_Z)|(1<<GB_MTL_ID)|(1<<GB_BG));
gb->InitBuffer();
 
GBufWriter *wrt = gb->CreateWriter();
for (int y=0; y<10; y++)
{
    wrt->StartLine(y);
    BOOL bb = 0;
    for (int x=5; x<100; x+=4) {
        wrt->StartPixel(x);
        wrt->StartNextLayer();
        float z = 5.0f*float(x)*float(y);
        wrt->WriteChannelData(GB_Z,(void *)&z);
        UBYTE mid = 36+x;
        wrt->WriteChannelData(GB_MTL_ID,(void *)&mid);
        Color24 c;
        c.r = 10+x; c.g = 20+x; c.b = 30+x;
        wrt->WriteChannelData(GB_BG,(void *)&c);
 
        wrt->StartNextLayer();
        z = 15.0f*float(x)*float(y);
        wrt->WriteChannelData(GB_Z,(void *)&z);
        mid = 26+x;
        wrt->WriteChannelData(GB_MTL_ID,(void *)&mid);
        c.r =30+x; c.g = 20+x; c.b = 10+x;
        wrt->WriteChannelData(GB_BG,(void *)&c);
 
        if (bb) {
            wrt->StartNextLayer();
            z = 17.0f*float(x)*float(y);
            wrt->WriteChannelData(GB_Z,(void *)&z);
            mid = 64+x;
            wrt->WriteChannelData(GB_MTL_ID,(void
                 )&mid);
            c.r = 130+x; c.g = 120+x; c.b = 110+x;
            wrt->WriteChannelData(GB_BG,(void *)&c);
        }
        bb = !bb;
    }
    wrt->EndLine();
}
gb->DestroyWriter(wrt);

All methods of this class are implemented by the System.
