D3DX8

Applications use the methods of the D3DX8 class to simplify complicated tasks such as creating textures, manipulating meshes, drawing shapes, and assembling shaders.

An instance of the D3DX8 class is obtained by declaring an object variable and setting that variable to a new instance of D3DX8, as shown in the following code fragment.

Dim d3dx As D3DX8
Set d3dx = New D3DX8

The methods of the D3DX8 class can be organized into the following groups.
