## Detailed Description

This class makes the usage of a vertex and fragment programs (low-level or high-level), with a given set of parameters, explicit.

Remarks:
  Using a vertex or fragment program can get fairly complex; besides the fairly rudimentary process of binding a program to the GPU for rendering, managing usage has few complications, such as:
  - Programs can be high level (e.g. Cg, RenderMonkey) or low level (assembler). Using either should be relatively seamless, although high-level programs give you the advantage of being able to use named parameters, instead of just indexed registers
  - Programs and parameters can be shared between multiple usages, in order to save memory
  - When you define a user of a program, such as a material, you often want to be able to set up the definition but not load / compile / assemble the program at that stage, because it is not needed just yet. The program should be loaded when it is first needed, or earlier if specifically requested. The program may not be defined at this time, you may want to have scripts that can set up the definitions independent of the order in which those scripts are loaded.
  This class packages up those details so you don't have to worry about them. For example, this class lets you define a high-level program and set up the parameters for it, without having loaded the program (which you normally could not do). When the program is loaded and compiled, this class will then validate the parameters you supplied earlier and turn them into runtime parameters.

  Just incase it wasn't clear from the above, this class provides linkage to both GpuProgram and HighLevelGpuProgram, despite its name.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Ogre::GpuProgramUsage::GpuProgramUsage | ( | GpuProgramType | gptype | ) |

Default constructor.

Parameters:

  | gptype | The type of program to link to

Ogre::GpuProgramUsage::GpuProgramUsage | ( | const GpuProgramUsage & | rhs | ) |

Copy constructor.

## Member Function Documentation

GpuProgramType Ogre::GpuProgramUsage::getType | ( | void |  | ) | const

Gets the type of program we're trying to link to.

Definition at line 87 of file OgreGpuProgramUsage.h.

void Ogre::GpuProgramUsage::setProgramName | ( | const String & | name,
|  | bool | resetParams = `true` |
| ) |  |  |

Sets the name of the program to use.

Parameters:

  | name | The name of the program to use
  | resetParams | If true, this will create a fresh set of parameters from the new program being linked, so if you had previously set parameters you will have to set them again. If you set this to false, you must be absolutely sure that the parameters match perfectly, and in the case of named parameters refers to the indexes underlying them, not just the names.

void Ogre::GpuProgramUsage::setProgram | ( | GpuProgramPtr & | prog | ) |

Sets the program to use.

Remarks:
  Note that this will create a fresh set of parameters from the new program being linked, so if you had previously set parameters you will have to set them again.

const GpuProgramPtr& Ogre::GpuProgramUsage::getProgram | ( |  | ) | const

Gets the program being used.

Definition at line 108 of file OgreGpuProgramUsage.h.

const String& Ogre::GpuProgramUsage::getProgramName | ( | void |  | ) | const

Gets the program being used.

Definition at line 110 of file OgreGpuProgramUsage.h.

void Ogre::GpuProgramUsage::setParameters | ( | GpuProgramParametersSharedPtr | params | ) |

Sets the program parameters that should be used; because parameters can be shared between multiple usages for efficiency, this method is here for you to register externally created parameter objects.

Otherwise, the parameters will be created for you when a program is linked.

GpuProgramParametersSharedPtr Ogre::GpuProgramUsage::getParameters | ( | void |  | ) |

Gets the parameters being used here.

void Ogre::GpuProgramUsage::_load | ( | void |  | ) |

Load this usage (and ensure program is loaded).

void Ogre::GpuProgramUsage::_unload | ( | void |  | ) |

Unload this usage.
