Parameters

format The GraphicsFormat format to look up.
usage The GraphicsFormatUsage usage to look up.

Returns

GraphicsFormat Returns a format supported by the platform. If no equivalent or compatible format is supported, the function returns GraphicsFormat.None.

Description

Returns a format supported by the platform for the specified usage.

If the platform supports the specified format for the usage, this method returns the input format. Otherwise, the method searches for a supported format with similar properties to the input format. If the platform doesn't support any similar format, the method returns a fallback format. For example, if the input format is a compressed format that isn't supported, the function returns an uncompressed equivalent format. If the platform doesn't support any equivalent or compatible fallback formats, this method returns GraphicsFormat.None.
