cgGetNumDependentStateAssignmentParameters(3)

NAME
cgGetNumDependentStateAssignmentParameters - get the number of effect parameters on which a state assignment depends

SYNOPSIS
  #include <Cg/cg.h>
  int cgGetNumDependentStateAssignmentParameters( CGstateassignment sa );

PARAMETERS
The state assignment handle.

RETURN VALUES
Returns the number of parameters on which sa depends.

DESCRIPTION
State assignments in CgFX passes may include references to one or more effect parameters on the right hand side of the state assignment that are used for computing the state assignment's value. cgGetNumDependentStateAssignmentParameters returns the total number of such parameters. the cgGetDependentStateAssignmentParameter manpage can then be used to iterate over these parameters.

This information can be useful for applications that wish to cache the values of state assignments for customized state mangement so that they can determine which state assignments may change as the result of changing a parameter's value.

EXAMPLES
to-be-written

ERRORS
CG_INVALID_STATE_ASSIGNMENT_HANDLE_ERROR is generated if sa is not a valid state assignment.

HISTORY
cgGetNumDependentStateAssignmentParameters was introduced in Cg 1.4.
