The Graphics class in the Sandbox namespace is a static class used for rendering operations. It provides a variety of methods and properties to interact with the graphics hardware, allowing you to render scenes, manage textures, and perform other graphical operations. This class is essential for developers looking to create visually rich applications in s&box.
| Member Name | Summary |
|---|---|
| IsActive | If true, rendering is currently active, and the class's contents can be safely used. |
| LayerType | Indicates the current layer type, useful for determining if drawing should be opaque, transparent, or shadowed. |
| Viewport | Specifies the pixel size of the rendering target. |
| Attributes | Accesses the current render context's attributes, used in materials/shaders. |
| CameraPosition | Returns the camera position of the currently rendering view. |
| RenderTarget | Gets or sets the current render target, adjusting the viewport accordingly. |
