IDirect3DRMTexture

Applications use the methods of the IDirect3DRMTexture interface to work with textures, which are rectangular arrays of pixels. This section is a reference to the methods of this interface. For a conceptual overview, see IDirect3DRMTexture and IDirect3DRMTexture2 Interfaces.

To avoid unnecessary delays when creating textures, hold onto textures you want to use again, instead of creating them each time they're needed. For optimal performance, use a texture surface format that is supported by the device you are using. This will avoid a costly format conversion when the texture is created and any time it changes.

See the remarks in IDirect3DRM::LoadTexture for an example showing how to keep a reference to textures loaded in a texture callback through IDirect3DRM::LoadTexture.

The methods of the IDirect3DRMTexture interface can be organized into the following groups:

Color	GetColors
	SetColors
Decals	GetDecalOrigin
	GetDecalScale
	GetDecalSize
	GetDecalTransparency
	GetDecalTransparentColor
	SetDecalOrigin
	SetDecalScale
	SetDecalSize
	SetDecalTransparency
	SetDecalTransparentColor
Images	GetImage
Initialization	InitFromFile
	InitFromResource
	InitFromSurface
Renderer notification	Changed
Shading	GetShades
	SetShades

The IDirect3DRMTexture interface, like all Component Object Model (COM) interfaces, inherits the IUnknown interface methods. The IUnknown interface supports the following three methods:

AddRef

QueryInterface

Release

In addition, the IDirect3DRMTexture interface inherits the following methods from the IDirect3DRMObject interface:

AddDestroyCallback

Clone

DeleteDestroyCallback

GetAppData

GetClassName

GetName

SetAppData

SetName

The Direct3DRMTexture object is obtained by using the IDirect3DRM::CreateTexture method.

IDirect3DRMTexture::Changed

IDirect3DRMTexture

Informs the renderer that the application has changed the pixels or the palette of a texture.

HRESULT Changed(
  BOOL bPixels,
  BOOL bPalette
  );

Parameters

bPixels

If this parameter is TRUE, the pixels have changed.

bPalette

If this parameter is TRUE, the palette has changed.

Return Values

Returns D3DRM_OK if successful, or an error otherwise. For a list of possible errors, see Direct3D Retained Mode Return Values.

---

IDirect3DRMTexture::GetColors

IDirect3DRMTexture

Retrieves the maximum number of colors used for rendering a texture.

DWORD GetColors( );

Return Values

Returns the number of colors.

Remarks

This method returns the number of colors that the texture has been quantized to, not the number of colors in the image from which the texture was created. Consequently, the number of colors that are returned usually matches the colors that were set by using the IDirect3DRM::SetDefaultTextureColors method—unless you used the IDirect3DRMTexture::SetColors method explicitly to change the colors for the texture.
