EGL Extension XXX
Extension Type
EGL client extension
Dependencies
Requires ANGLE_platform_angle.
Overview
This extension enables selection of D3D display types.
New Types
None
New Procedures and Functions
None
New Tokens
Accepted as values for the EGL_PLATFORM_ANGLE_TYPE_ANGLE attribute:
EGL_PLATFORM_ANGLE_TYPE_D3D9_ANGLE 0x3206
EGL_PLATFORM_ANGLE_TYPE_D3D11_ANGLE 0x3207
Accepted as an attribute name in the <attrib_list> argument of
eglGetPlatformDisplayEXT:
EGL_PLATFORM_ANGLE_USE_WARP_ANGLE 0x3208
Additions to the EGL Specification
None.
New Behavior
To request a display that is backed by Direct3D resources, the value of
EGL_PLATFORM_ANGLE_TYPE_ANGLE should be:
- EGL_PLATFORM_ANGLE_TYPE_D3D9_ANGLE for a D3D9 display,
- EGL_PLATFORM_ANGLE_TYPE_D3D11_ANGLE for a D3D11 display.
To request a specific maximum feature level to be used by the D3D11
display, EGL_PLATFORM_ANGLE_MAX_VERSION_MAJOR_ANGLE and
EGL_PLATFORM_ANGLE_MAX_VERSION_MINOR_ANGLE can be used. Only feature
levels that are capable of supporting all available client APIs will be
used unless explicitly requested.
EGL_PLATFORM_ANGLE_MAX_VERSION_MAJOR_ANGLE and
EGL_PLATFORM_ANGLE_MAX_VERSION_MINOR_ANGLE have no effect when requesting
a D3D9 display.
If no <attrib_list> is specified to eglGetPlatformDisplayEXT, the value of
EGL_PLATFORM_ANGLE_USE_WARP_ANGLE is implicitly set to
EGL_FALSE. Otherwise, the value of EGL_PLATFORM_ANGLE_USE_WARP_ANGLE should
be:
- EGL_TRUE to request a WARP device.
- EGL_FALSE to request a hardware accelerated device.
If EGL_PLATFORM_ANGLE_USE_WARP_ANGLE is set to EGL_TRUE and
EGL_PLATFORM_ANGLE_TYPE_ANGLE is not set to
EGL_PLATFORM_ANGLE_TYPE_D3D11_ANGLE then an EGL_BAD_ATTRIBUTE error is
generated and EGL_NO_DISPLAY is returned.
Issues
None
