ComputeShader¶

class moderngl.ComputeShader¶: A Compute Shader is a Shader Stage that is used entirely for computing arbitrary information. While it can do rendering, it is generally used for tasks not directly related to drawing.

Create¶

Context.compute_shader(source) → ComputeShader

A ComputeShader is a Shader Stage that is used entirely for computing arbitrary information. While it can do rendering, it is generally used for tasks not directly related to drawing.

Parameters:	source (str) – The source of the compute shader.
Returns:	`ComputeShader` object

Methods¶

ComputeShader.run(group_x=1, group_y=1, group_z=1)¶

Run the compute shader.

Parameters:	group_x (int) – The number of work groups to be launched in the X dimension. group_y (int) – The number of work groups to be launched in the Y dimension. group_z (int) – The number of work groups to be launched in the Z dimension.

ComputeShader.get(key, default) → Union[Uniform, UniformBlock, Subroutine, Attribute, Varying]¶

Returns a Uniform, UniformBlock, Subroutine, Attribute or Varying.

Parameters:	default – This is the value to be returned in case key does not exist.
Returns:	`Uniform`, `UniformBlock`, `Subroutine`, `Attribute` or `Varying`

Attributes¶

ComputeShader.source¶

The source code of the compute shader.

Type:	str

ComputeShader.glo¶

The internal OpenGL object. This values is provided for debug purposes only.

Type:	int

ComputeShader.extra¶: Any - Attribute for storing user defined objects
