TextureLoader.FromVolumeFile Method

Language:

Creates a volume texture from a file.

Definition

Visual Basic Public Shared Function FromVolumeFile( _
    ByVal device As Device, _
    ByVal srcFile As String _
) As VolumeTexture
C# public static VolumeTexture FromVolumeFile(
    Device device,
    string srcFile
);
C++ public:
static VolumeTextureFromVolumeFile(
    Devicedevice,
    StringsrcFile
);
JScript public static function FromVolumeFile(
    device : Device,
    srcFile : String
) : VolumeTexture;

Parameters

device Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D.Device
A Device object that represents the device to associate with the volume texture.
srcFile System.String
String that specifies the file name.

Return Value

Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D.VolumeTexture
Address of a pointer to a VolumeTexture object that represents the created texture object.

Remarks

This method supports the following file formats: .bmp, .dds, .dib, .hdr, .jpg, .pfm, .png, .ppm, and .tga.

Each level of a mipmapped texture is automatically filled with the loaded volume texture. When loading images into mipmapped textures, some devices are unable to switch to a 1x1 image. If this happens, the method fails, and the images must be loaded manually.
