D3D10_RENDER_TARGET_VIEW_DESC structure (d3d10.h)

Specifies the subresource(s) from a resource that are accessible using a render-target view.

Members

Format

Type: DXGI_FORMAT

The data format (see DXGI_FORMAT).

ViewDimension

Type: D3D10_RTV_DIMENSION

The resource type (see D3D10_RTV_DIMENSION), which specifies how the render-target resource will be accessed.

Buffer

Type: D3D10_BUFFER_RTV

Specifies which buffer elements can be accessed (see D3D10_BUFFER_RTV).

Texture1D

Type: D3D10_TEX1D_RTV

Specifies the subresources in a 1D texture that can be accessed (see D3D10_TEX1D_RTV).

Texture1DArray

Type: D3D10_TEX1D_ARRAY_RTV

Specifies the subresources in a 1D texture array that can be accessed (see D3D10_TEX1D_ARRAY_RTV).

Texture2D

Type: D3D10_TEX2D_RTV

Specifies the subresources in a 2D texture that can be accessed (see D3D10_TEX2D_RTV).

Texture2DArray

Type: D3D10_TEX2D_ARRAY_RTV

Specifies the subresources in a 2D texture array that can be accessed (see D3D10_TEX2D_ARRAY_RTV).

Texture2DMS

Type: D3D10_TEX2DMS_RTV

Specifies a single subresource because a multisampled 2D texture only contains one subresource (see D3D10_TEX2DMS_RTV).

Texture2DMSArray

Type: D3D10_TEX2DMS_ARRAY_RTV

Specifies the subresources in a multisampled 2D texture array that can be accessed (see D3D10_TEX2DMS_ARRAY_RTV).

Texture3D

Type: D3D10_TEX3D_RTV

Specifies subresources in a 3D texture that can be accessed (see D3D10_TEX3D_RTV).

Remarks

A render-target-view description is passed into ID3D10Device::CreateRenderTargetView to create a render target.

A render-target-view cannot use the following formats:

• Any typeless format.
• DXGI_FORMAT if the view will be used to bind a buffer (vertex, index, constant, or stream-output).
