Configuring the Shader Development StudioFragment Shaders sectionThe fragment shaders section lists all the shader source files that make up the fragment part ofthe shader effect.NoteIt is valid to put a non-specific shader, one that is neither a vertex nor fragment shader, in thislist. But, be aware that the shader is compiled and checked for errors as a fragment shader bythe offline compiler. Ordering of source files might be important to the functionality of theshader effect, so buttons are provided to re-order the list.New Shader Create a shader with the default shader code and adds it to the list.Add Shader Add an existing shader source file to the list. The source file must belong to thecurrent project.Remove ShaderRemove the selected shader source file from the list.Move UpMove the selected shader source file up one position. The shader sources arepassed to the compiler in the order they appear in the list.Move Down Move the selected shader source file down one position. The shader sources arepassed to the compiler in the order they appear in the list.4.3.3 Matrix and Vector EditorYou can use the Matrix and Vector editor to edit shader attribute and uniform values in theShader Attributes view and Shader Uniforms view. The editor presents a table that can be usedto edit the values of vector and matrix OpenGL ES 2.0 types. The drop-down list at the top ofthe editor enables loading of pre-defined values. The exact functionality available in the editoris dependent on the context it is used in.ImportExportImport values from a Comma Separated Value file.Export the current values to a Comma Separated Value file.For more information about the Matrix and Vector Editor, see Rendering the shader effect onpage 3-9.NoteYou can copy and paste attributes and uniforms values.4.3.4 Sampler EditorThe Sampler editor is used to edit settings for OpenGL ES 2.0 sampler types (sampler2D,samplerCube).TextureSelect the texture to be used for the sampler.Use Built-in If checked, use one of the built-in textures for this sampler. Select a texture fromthe drop down list. If unchecked, use the Browse… button to select a texture fromthe project.The Sampler editor also specifies how OpenGLES filters and wraps the texture.DUI0504C Copyright © 2009-2011 ARM.

Configuring the Shader Development Studio4.4 ViewsThis section describes the different Views that are provided by the Shader Development Studio.4.4.1 Shader PreviewThe Shader Preview view provides visual feedback about the currently selected shader effect.For information about selecting a shader effect, see Shader Control on page 4-9. The currentshader effect is displayed at the top of the view. The view is mainly occupied by the Shaderpreview, that shows a preview of how the currently selected shader effect looks when renderedon the current renderer.When a preview is being displayed, you can right-click on the preview to save the previewframes as a series of image files.For more information on using the Shader Preview view, see Rendering the shader effect onpage 3-9.Animation transportThe animation transport contains a set of buttons to control the animation of shaders that havemore than one frame. See Figure 4-4:Table 4-1 describes the use of the slider and buttons:Figure 4-4 Animation transport controlsTable 4-1 Animation transport buttonsButtonSliderRewind to StartPlay in ReverseStopPlay ForwardFast Forward to EndDescriptionThe slider at the top shows the position in the currentanimation, and can also be dragged to move through theanimation.Set the current frame to the initial frame.Play from the current frame to the initial frame.Stop the animation.Play from the current frame to the final frame.Set the current frame to the final frame.ToolbarThe toolbar menu of the Shader Preview view contains a set of buttons that control the currentrenderer.
