The D16 field is a member of the ImageFormat enumeration in the Sandbox namespace. It represents a 16-bit depth image format, commonly used for depth buffer storage in graphics applications. This format is typically used when a high precision depth buffer is not required, offering a balance between memory usage and depth precision.
Use the D16 format when you need to store depth information with 16 bits of precision. This is suitable for applications where depth precision is important but not critical, and where memory usage is a concern. It is often used in rendering pipelines for depth testing and shadow mapping.
// Example of using ImageFormat.D16 in a rendering context // Assuming a rendering setup where you need to specify a depth format var depthFormat = ImageFormat.D16; // Use the depthFormat in a graphics pipeline setup GraphicsPipeline pipeline = new GraphicsPipeline(); pipeline.SetDepthFormat(depthFormat); // Proceed with rendering operations that utilize the depth buffer pipeline.Render(scene);
