public interface TextureSource

Supplies and updates the texture rendered by a Media360View, enabling dynamic content such as procedural animations - and, once a platform path from media frames to GPU textures exists, 360 video. All methods run on the render thread.

Methods

`public abstract` `Texture createTexture(GraphicsDevice device)`	Creates the texture.
`public abstract boolean updateTexture(GraphicsDevice device, Texture texture)`	Invoked once per frame before drawing.
`public abstract void dispose(GraphicsDevice device)`	Invoked when the view tears down.

Method details

createTexture

public abstract Texture createTexture(GraphicsDevice device)

Creates the texture. Invoked once on the render thread after the GPU context is ready.

Parameters

device GraphicsDevice: the graphics device bound to the view

Returns

the texture to map onto the sphere

updateTexture

public abstract boolean updateTexture(GraphicsDevice device, Texture texture)

Invoked once per frame before drawing. Update the texture contents here and return true when they changed (so continuous sources keep the view animating).

Parameters

device GraphicsDevice: the graphics device bound to the view
texture Texture: the texture returned by #createTexture(GraphicsDevice)

Returns

true when the texture contents changed this frame

dispose

public abstract void dispose(GraphicsDevice device)

Invoked when the view tears down. Release anything the source owns; the texture itself is disposed by the view.

Parameters

device GraphicsDevice: the graphics device bound to the view
