NAME¶

SDL_Metal_CreateView - Create a CAMetalLayer-backed NSView/UIView and attach it to the specified window.

SYNOPSIS¶

#include "SDL3/SDL.h"

SDL_MetalView SDL_Metal_CreateView(SDL_Window * window);

On macOS, this does not associate a MTLDevice with the CAMetalLayer on its own. It is up to user code to do that.

The returned handle can be casted directly to a NSView or UIView. To access the backing CAMetalLayer, call SDL_Metal_GetLayer ().
