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 four compiled shader variants: LitSprite.dx.mgfx, LitSprite.ogl.mgfx, LitSpriteNormalMap.dx.mgfx, LitSpriteNormalMap.ogl.mgfx.

Platform detection uses MonoGame.Framework.Utilities.PlatformInfo.MonoGamePlatform to pick the DirectX (.dx.mgfx) or OpenGL (.ogl.mgfx) 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.
