flash.display.ShaderPrecision (ActionScript 3.0)

Package	flash.display
Class	public final class ShaderPrecision
Inheritance	ShaderPrecision Object

Language version:

ActionScript 3.0

Runtime version:

AIR 1.5

This class defines the constants that represent the possible values for the Shader class's precisionHint property. Each constant represents one of the precision modes for executing shader operations.

The precision mode selection affects the following shader operations. These operations are faster on an Intel processor with the SSE instruction set:

sin(x)
cos(x)
tan(x)
asin(x)
acos(x)
atan(x)
atan(x, y)
exp(x)
exp2(x)
log(x)
log2(x)
pow(x, y)
reciprocal(x)
sqrt(x)

Constant detail

FAST

constant

public static const FAST:String = "fast"

Language version:

ActionScript 3.0

Runtime version:

AIR 1.5

Represents fast precision mode.

Fast precision mode is designed for maximum performance but does not work consistently on different platforms and individual CPU configurations. In many cases, this level of precision is sufficient to create graphic effects without visible artifacts.

It is usually faster to use fast precision mode than to use lookup tables.
