Class NodeSet

A node set is a set of instantiated user nodes connected together in some particular way, although not necessarily completely connected. Nodes can communicate through flowing data or messages, and the execution pattern is defined from the connections you establish.

Syntax

public class NodeSet : IDisposable

Constructors

NodeSet()

Construct a node set. Remember to dispose it. Dispose()

Declaration

public NodeSet()

NodeSet(JobComponentSystem)

Initializes this NodeSet in a mode that's compatible with running together with ECS, through the use of ComponentNodes. The hostSystem and this instance are tied together from this point, and you must update this set using the Update(JobHandle) function. See also NodeSet().

Declaration

public NodeSet(JobComponentSystem hostSystem)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
JobComponentSystem	hostSystem

Remarks

Any instantiated nodes with IKernelPortDefinitions containing ECS types will be added as dependencies to hostSystem.

Exceptions

Type	Condition
ArgumentNullException	Thrown if the `hostSystem` is null

Properties

RendererModel

The render execution scheduling mode use for launching the processing of IGraphKernel<TKernelData, TKernelPortDefinition>s in the node set. Update(JobHandle)

Declaration

public NodeSet.RenderExecutionModel RendererModel { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
NodeSet.RenderExecutionModel

Remarks

Changing this can drastically alter the execution runtime of your graph. The best choice largely depends on the topological layout of the graph in question.

Create<TDefinition>()

Instantiates a particular type of node. If this is the first time this node type is created, the TDefinition is instantiated as well.

Remember to destroy the node again. Destroy(NodeHandle)

Declaration

public NodeHandle<TDefinition> Create<TDefinition>()

NodeHandle<TDefinition>	A handle to a node, that uniquely identifies the instantiated node. The handle returned is "strongly" typed in that it is verified to refer to such a node type - see NodeHandle<TDefinition> for more information. This handle is the primary interface for all APIs on nodes. After the node has been destroyed, any copy of this handle is invalidated, see Exists(NodeHandle).

GetGraphValueResolver(out JobHandle)

Returns a GraphValueResolver that can be used to asynchronously read back graph state and buffers in a job. Put the resolver on a job ("consumer"), and schedule it against the parameter resultDependency.

Any job handles referencing the resolver must to be submitted back to the node set through InjectDependencyFromConsumer(JobHandle).

Declaration

public GraphValueResolver GetGraphValueResolver(out JobHandle resultDependency)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
JobHandle	resultDependency	Contains an aggregation of dependencies from the last Update() for any created graph values.

Returns

Type	Description
GraphValueResolver

Remarks

The returned resolver is only valid until the next Update() is issued, so call this function after every Update().

The resolver does not need to be cleaned up from the user's side.
