SDL_DRAWGPUPRIMITIVESINDIRECT(3)

✨ SDL_DrawGPUPrimitivesIndirect ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the SDL3 functions manual 💖 this one lives in the <SDL3/SDL_gpu.h> cinematic universe and it's literally called SDL_DrawGPUPrimitivesIndirect 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

SDL_DrawGPUPrimitivesIndirect — draws data using bound graphics state and with draw parameters set from a buffer 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <SDL3/SDL_gpu.h>

void SDL_DrawGPUPrimitivesIndirect(
    SDL_GPURenderPass *render_pass,
    SDL_GPUBuffer *buffer,
    Uint32 offset,
    Uint32 draw_count);

no cap, that's the whole signature 🫶

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so here's the tea, bestie ☕ the buffer has to consist of tightly-packed draw parameter sets, and each one of those sets has to match the layout of SDL_GPUIndirectDrawCommand ✨ like, exactly. no gaps, no extra padding, no freestyling 🙈

and listen — you must NOT call this function before binding a graphics pipeline. fr fr. bind that pipeline first or it's giving chaos 💀

---

🎀 FUNCTION PARAMETERS 🎀

• render_pass — a render pass handle 🌈
• buffer — a buffer containing draw parameters 🍓
• offset — the offset to start reading from the draw buffer 📍
• draw_count — the number of draw parameter sets that should be read from the draw buffer 🔢

---

👑 AVAILABILITY 👑

this icon is available since SDL 3.2.0 ⭐ so if you're on anything older... bestie, upgrade 😭

---

and that's the whole vibe check ✅ go forth and draw those primitives indirectly, you absolute main character 👑

Simple Directmedia Layer 🌈 SDL 3.4.18 🌸 — mwah, sending this one off with a kiss, catch you in the next manpage bestie 💖🦋💅
