This tutorial displays each event that causes a change in pixel data. Using the pixel history feature, you can track pixel data changes, see pipeline state changes, and view the corresponding shader code. The tutorial is divided into the following steps:
To set up this experiment, choose the StateManager sample as the target program and select the single-frame-capture option for data collection.
Select a pixel in the details view in the render tab
Figure 1. Rendered View of a Single-Frame Capture
Right click on the pixel, and select Debug This Pixel from the contextual menu.
The pixel history window by clicking on the contextual menu in the render tab in the details view.
