public class ShaderAttributeValue
extends ShaderAttributeObject

The ShaderAttributeValue object encapsulates a uniform shader attribute whose value is specified explicitly. The shader variable attrName is explicitly set to the specified value during rendering. attrName must be the name of a valid uniform attribute in the shader in which it is used. Otherwise, the attribute name will be ignored and a runtime error may be generated. The value must be an instance of one of the allowed classes. The allowed classes are: Integer, Float, Tuple{2,3,4}{i,f}, Matrix{3,4}f. A ClassCastException will be thrown if a specified value object is not one of the allowed types. Further, the type of the value is immutable once a ShaderAttributeValue is constructed. Subsequent setValue operations must be called with an object of the same type as the one that was used to construct the ShaderAttributeValue. Finally, the type of the value object must match the type of the corresponding attrName variable in the shader in which it is used. Otherwise, the shader will not be able to use the attribute and a runtime error may be generated.

attrName - the name of the shader attribute

value - the value of the shader attribute

Throws:

NullPointerException - if attrName or value is null

ClassCastException - if value is not an instance of one of the allowed classes
