Constructor Descriptions

Create

Create a CAMetalLayer-backed NSView/UIView and attach it to the specified window.

On macOS, this does not associate a MTLDevice with the CAMetalLayer on its own. It is up to user code to do that.

The View property can by cast to a NSView (macOS) or UIView (iOS) using TNSView.Wrap() or TUIView.Wrap(). To access the backing CAMetalLayer, use the Layer property and wrap it using TCAMetalLayer.Wrap().

constructor Create(const AWindow: TSdlWindow)

Parameters

AWindow: TSdlWindow : The window.
