ShaderLoader (Mibo)

ShaderLoader Module

Namespace: Mibo.Elmish.Graphics2D
Assembly: Mibo.MonoGame.dll

Loads compiled MonoGame effect (.mgfx) files from embedded resources.

The Mibo.MonoGame.fsproj embeds compiled shader variants for four backends: .dx.mgfx (DirectX 11), .dx12.mgfx (DirectX 12), .ogl.mgfx (OpenGL), and .vk.mgfx (Vulkan).

Platform detection uses MonoGame.Framework.Utilities.PlatformInfo.GraphicsBackend to pick the appropriate variant.

Compiled shader bytes are cached; a new Effect is instantiated per call so each LightContext2D owns and disposes its own instance.

Functions and values

Function or value	Description
`loadEffect gd name` Full Usage: `loadEffect gd name` Parameters: gd : `GraphicsDevice` - The graphics device to create the effect on. name : `string` - Base name of the effect (e.g. `"LitSprite"` or `"LitSpriteNormalMap"`). Returns: `Effect voption` A new Effect, or `ValueNone` if the resource is missing.	Loads a compiled MonoGame effect from an embedded .mgfx resource. Each call returns a fresh `Effect` owned by the caller; cached bytes are reused. gd : `GraphicsDevice` The graphics device to create the effect on. name : `string` Base name of the effect (e.g. `"LitSprite"` or `"LitSpriteNormalMap"`). Returns: `Effect voption` A new Effect, or `ValueNone` if the resource is missing.
