class ComputeNode¶

Bases: PandaNode

A special node, the sole purpose of which is to invoke a dispatch operation on the assigned compute shader.

Inheritance diagram

__init__(name: str) → None¶: Creates a ComputeNode with the given name. Use add_dispatch and also assign a shader using a ShaderAttrib.

addDispatch(num_groups: LVecBase3i) → None¶: Adds a dispatch command with the given number of work groups in the X, Y, and Z dimensions. Any of these values may be set to 1 if the respective dimension should not be used.

addDispatch(num_groups_x: int, num_groups_y: int, num_groups_z: int) → None: Adds a dispatch command with the given number of work groups in the X, Y, and Z dimensions. Any of these values may be set to 1 if the respective dimension should not be used.

getNumDispatches() → size_t¶

Returns the number of times add_dispatch has been called on this object.

getDispatch(i: size_t) → LVecBase3i¶

Returns the group counts of the nth dispatch associated with this object.

setDispatch(i: size_t, num_groups: LVecBase3i) → None¶: Sets the group counts of the nth dispatch associated with this object.

insertDispatch(i: size_t, num_groups: LVecBase3i) → None¶: Inserts a dispatch command with the given number of work groups in the X, Y, and Z dimensions at the given position in the list of dispatch commands. Any of these values may be set to 1 if the respective dimension should not be used.

removeDispatch(i: size_t) → None¶: Erases the given dispatch index from the list.

static getClassType() → TypeHandle¶

property dispatches¶

Getter: Returns the group counts of the nth dispatch associated with this object.
Setter: Sets the group counts of the nth dispatch associated with this object.
