HAL

HAL is a "hardware abstraction layer" interface used for rendering Movie instances. HAL tracks an optional command queue that allows its associated systems to post commands for the render thread.

Enumeration	Description

HAL	Render HAL constructor.
IsInitialized	Returns true if render HAL has been initialized through a call to InitHAL.
IsPrepassRequired	Checks if the prepass step is required.
IsRasterModeSupported	Returns whether this platform supports the given raster mode.
MapVertexFormat	Obtains formats that renderer will use for single, batched and instanced rendering of the specified source format.
PopBlendMode	Retrieves a blend mode that will be used for rendering.
PopFilters	Pops a filter draw sequence off the filter stack. This will actually perform filter rendering.
