SetGfxDriver:Void driver:Int32| Parameter | Mode | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
driver |
In | Int32 | required | The driver number, starting at 1. |
Chooses the graphics driver for the next Graphics call. This is the GPU that draws everything in the program, so it has to be called before the first Graphics, LoadImage, CreateTexture or any other command that makes an image or texture. The choice is kept when EndGraphics closes the window.
- Any number except 1 to CountGfxDrivers stops the program with an error message. Calling it once the GPU is in use stops a program compiled with -d with an error message, and is ignored in any other build. A driver that cannot draw to the window (or does not do Vulkan 1.3) stops the program at Graphics.
