Class Overview

A Type describes the Element and dimensions used for an Allocation or a parallel operation. Types are created through Type.Builder.

A Type always includes an Element and an X dimension. A Type may be multidimensional, up to three dimensions. A nonzero value in the Y or Z dimensions indicates that the dimension is present. Note that a Type with only a given X dimension and a Type with the same X dimension but Y = 1 are not equivalent.

A Type also supports inclusion of level of detail (LOD) or cube map faces. LOD and cube map faces are booleans to indicate present or not present.

A Type also supports YUV format information to support an Allocation in a YUV format. The YUV formats supported are YV12, NV21, and YUV_420_888

e The Element for the Type
dimX The X dimension, must be > 0
Returns
  • Type

public static Type createXY (RenderScript rs, Element e, int dimX, int dimY)

Utility function for creating basic 2D types. The type is created without mipmaps or cubemaps.

Parameters
rs The RenderScript context
e The Element for the Type
dimX The X dimension, must be > 0
dimY The Y dimension, must be > 0
Returns
  • Type

public static Type createXYZ (RenderScript rs, Element e, int dimX, int dimY, int dimZ)

Utility function for creating basic 3D types. The type is created without mipmaps.

Parameters
