Method Detail

getArgumentsRenderable

ComponentRenderable getArgumentsRenderable()

Get an object that represents arguments that should be passed along with the shader. If the shader has a full program component renderable. then it will most likely have arguments too.

Returns:

An object representing any global argument lists

getShaderRenderable

ShaderComponentRenderable getShaderRenderable(int type)

Get the component of this shader, if it has one. If the given type is not recognised by this shader, return null.

Parameters:

type - One of the _SHADER constants from ShaderComponentRenderable

Returns:

A matching component or null if none
