dcl_inputPrimitive (sm4 - asm)

Declares the primitive type for geometry-shader inputs.

dcl_inputPrimitive type
Item Description
type
[in] Input-data primitive type, which is one of the following:
  • point - point list
  • line - line list
  • triangle - triangle list
  • line_adj - line list with adjacency data
  • triangle_adj - triangle list with adjacency data

This instruction applies to the following shader stages:

Vertex Shader Geometry Shader Pixel Shader
x

This instruction is included to aid in debugging a shader in assembly; you cannot author a shader in assembly language using Shader Model 4.

Example

Here is an example.

dcl_inputPrimitive triangle
