1.关于创建Direct3D设备对象
创建Direct3D设备对象时,需要先创建Direct3D对象,然后再调用Direct3D对象的接口函数IDirect3D9::CreateDevice创建Direct3D设备对象。通过同一个Direct3D对象创建的所有Direct3D设备对象共享相同的物理资源(显卡)。因为共享同一硬件,所以如果通过一个Direct3D对象创建多个Direct3D渲染设备对象会明显降低系统性能。
在创建Direct3D设备对象之前,还需要先初始化D3DPRESENT_PARAMENTERS结构,该结构用于创建Direct3D设备对象。此结构将会影响Direct3D设备的显示方法。
D3DPRESENT_PARAMETERS
Describes the presentation parameters.
typedef struct D3DPRESENT_PARAMETERS {
UINT BackBufferWidth, BackBufferHeight;
D3DFORMAT BackBufferFormat;
UINT BackBufferCount;
D3DMULTISAMPLE_TYPE MultiSampleType;
DWORD MultiSampleQuality;
D3DSWAPEFFECT SwapEffect;
HWND hDeviceWindow;
BOOL Windowed;
BOOL EnableAutoDepthStencil;
D3DFORMAT AutoDepthStencilFormat;
DWORD Flags;
UINT FullScreen_RefreshRateInHz;
UINT PresentationInterval;
} D3DPRESENT_PARAMETERS, *LPD3DPRESENT_PARAMETERS;
Members
- BackBufferWidth, BackBufferHeight
- Width and height of the new swap chain's back buffers, in pixels. If Windowed is FALSE (the presentation is full-screen), these values must equal the width and height of one of the enumerated display modes found through IDirect3D9::EnumAdapterModes. If Windowed is TRUE and either of these values is zero, the corresponding dimension of the client area of the hDeviceWindow (or the focus window, if hDeviceWindow is NULL) is taken.
- BackBufferFormat
- The back buffer format. For more information about formats, see D3DFORMAT. This value must be one of the render-target formats as validated by IDirect3D9::CheckDeviceType. You can use IDirect3DDevice9::GetDisplayMode to obtain the current format.
In fact, D3DFMT_UNKNOWN can be specified for the BackBufferFormat while in windowed mode. This tells the runtime to use the current display-mode format and eliminates the need to call IDirect3DDevice9::GetDisplayMode.
For windowed applications, the back buffer format no longer needs to match the display-mode format because color conversion can now be done by the hardware (if the hardware supports color conversion). The set of possible back buffer formats is constrained, but the runtime will allow any valid back buffer format to be presented to any desktop format. (There is the additional requirement that the device be operable in the desktop mode; devices typically do not operate in 8 bits per pixel modes.)
Full-screen applications cannot do color conversion.
- BackBufferCount
- This value can be between 0 and D3DPRESENT_BACK_BUFFERS_MAX (or D3DPRESENT_BACK_BUFFERS_MAX_EX when using Direct3D 9Ex). Values of 0 are treated as 1. If the number of back buffers cannot be created, the runtime will fail the method call and fill this value with the number of back buffers that could be created. As a result, an application can call the method twice with the same D3DPRESENT_PARAMETERS structure and expect it to work the second time.
The method fails if one back buffer cannot be created. The value of BackBufferCount influences what set of swap effects are allowed. Specifically, any D3DSWAPEFFECT_COPY swap effect requires that there be exactly one back buffer.
- MultiSampleType
- Member of the D3DMULTISAMPLE_TYPE enumerated type. The value must be D3DMULTISAMPLE_NONE unless SwapEffect has been set to D3DSWAPEFFECT_DISCARD. Multisampling is supported only if the swap effect is D3DSWAPEFFECT_DISCARD.
- MultiSampleQuality
- Quality level. The valid range is between zero and one less than the level returned by pQualityLevels used by IDirect3D9::CheckDeviceMultiSampleType. Passing a larger value returns the error D3DERR_INVALIDCALL. Paired values of render targets or of depth stencil surfaces and D3DMULTISAMPLE_TYPE must match.
- SwapEffect
- Member of the D3DSWAPEFFECT enumerated type. The runtime will guarantee the implied semantics concerning buffer swap behavior; therefore, if Windowed is TRUE and SwapEffect is set to D3DSWAPEFFECT_FLIP, the runtime will create one extra back buffer and copy whichever becomes the front buffer at presentation time.
D3DSWAPEFFECT_COPY requires that BackBufferCount be set to 1.
D3DSWAPEFFECT_DISCARD will be enforced in the debug runtime by filling any buffer with noise after it is presented.
Differences between Direct3D9 and Direct3D9Ex
In Direct3D9Ex, D3DSWAPEFFECT_FLIPEX is added to designate when an application is adopting flip mode. That is, whan an application's frame is passed in window's mode (instead of copied) to the Desktop Window Manager(DWM) for composition. Flip mode provides more efficient memory bandwidth and enables an application to take advantage of full-screen-present statistics. It does not change full screen behavior. Flip mode behavior is available beginning with Windows 7. |
- hDeviceWindow
- The device window determines the location and size of the back buffer on screen. This is used by Direct3D when the back buffer contents are copied to the front buffer during IDirect3DDevice9::Present.
-
For a full-screen application, this is a handle to the top window (which is the focus window).
For applications that use multiple full-screen devices (such as a multimonitor system), exactly one device can use the focus window as the device window. All other devices must have unique device windows.
- For a windowed-mode application, this handle will be the default target window for IDirect3DDevice9::Present. If this handle is NULL, the focus window will be taken.
Note that no attempt is made by the runtime to reflect user changes in window size. The back buffer is not implicitly reset when this window is reset. However, the IDirect3DDevice9::Present method does automatically track window position changes.
- Windowed
- TRUE if the application runs windowed; FALSE if the application runs full-screen.
- EnableAutoDepthStencil
- If this value is TRUE, Direct3D will manage depth buffers for the application. The device will create a depth-stencil buffer when it is created. The depth-stencil buffer will be automatically set as the render target of the device. When the device is reset, the depth-stencil buffer will be automatically destroyed and recreated in the new size.
If EnableAutoDepthStencil is TRUE, then AutoDepthStencilFormat must be a valid depth-stencil format.
- AutoDepthStencilFormat
- Member of the D3DFORMAT enumerated type. The format of the automatic depth-stencil surface that the device will create. This member is ignored unless EnableAutoDepthStencil is TRUE.
- Flags
- One of the D3DPRESENTFLAG constants.
- FullScreen_RefreshRateInHz
- The rate at which the display adapter refreshes the screen. The value depends on the mode in which the application is running:
- For windowed mode, the refresh rate must be 0.
- For full-screen mode, the refresh rate is one of the refresh rates returned by IDirect3D9::EnumAdapterModes.
- PresentationInterval
- The maximum rate at which the swap chain's back buffers can be presented to the front buffer. For a detailed explanation of the modes and the intervals that are supported, see D3DPRESENT.

几个重要的参数加以解释说明一下,其中BackBufferWidth和BackBufferHeight指定后台缓存区的宽高(以像素为单位)。如果图形以窗口方式显示并且该成员变量被设置为0,则系统自动使用显示窗口客户区的宽高作为后台缓冲区的宽高。BackBufferCount指定后台缓冲区的数量。该值可以为0、1、2、3,其中0和1时都表示创建一个后台缓冲区。通常使用一个后台缓冲区和一个主缓存,主缓存将其显示在屏幕上。
