In-application API
==================
Reference for RenderDoc in-application API version 1.6.0. This API is not necessary to use RenderDoc by default, but if you would like more control or custom triggering of captures this API can provide the mechanism to do so.
Make sure to use a matching API header for your build - if you use a newer header, the API version may not be available. All RenderDoc builds supporting this API ship the header in their root directory.
This page describes the RenderDoc API exposed to applications being captured, both in overall organisation as well as a specific reference on each function.
To begin using the API you need to fetch the ``RENDERDOC_GetAPI`` function. You should do this dynamically, it is not recommended to actually link against RenderDoc's DLL as it's intended to be injected or loaded at runtime. The header does not declare ``RENDERDOC_GetAPI``, it declares a function pointer typedef ``pRENDERDOC_GetAPI`` that you can use.
The recommended way to access the RenderDoc API is to passively check if the module is loaded, and use the API if it is. This lets you continue to use RenderDoc entirely as normal, launching your program through the UI, but you can access additional functionality to e.g. trigger captures at custom times. When your program is launched independently it will see that the RenderDoc module is not present and safely fall back.
To do this you'll use your platforms dynamic library functions to see if the library is open already - e.g. ``GetModuleHandle`` on Windows, or ``dlopen`` with the ``RTLD_NOW | RTLD_NOLOAD`` flags if available on \*nix systems. On most platforms you can just search for the module name - ``renderdoc.dll`` on Windows, or ``librenderdoc.so`` on Linux, or ``libVkLayer_GLES_RenderDoc.so`` on Android should be sufficient here, so you don't need to know the path to where RenderDoc is running from. This will vary by platform however so consult your platform's OS documentation. Then you can use ``GetProcAddress`` or ``dlsym`` to fetch the ``RENDERDOC_GetAPI`` function using the typedef above.
.. cpp:function:: int RENDERDOC_GetAPI(RENDERDOC_Version version, void **outAPIPointers)
This function is the only entry point actually exported from the RenderDoc module. You call this function with the desired API version, and pass it the address of a pointer to the appropriate struct type. If successful, RenderDoc will set the pointer to point to a struct containing the function pointers for the API functions (detailed below) and return 1.
Note that version numbers follow `semantic versioning <http://semver.org>`_ which means the implementation returned may have a higher minor and/or patch version than requested.
.. _renderdoc-api-example:
Example code:
.. highlight:: c++
.. code:: c++
#include "renderdoc_app.h"
RENDERDOC_API_1_1_2 *rdoc_api = NULL;
// At init, on windows
if(HMODULE mod = GetModuleHandleA("renderdoc.dll"))
{
pRENDERDOC_GetAPI RENDERDOC_GetAPI =
(pRENDERDOC_GetAPI)GetProcAddress(mod, "RENDERDOC_GetAPI");
int ret = RENDERDOC_GetAPI(eRENDERDOC_API_Version_1_1_2, (void **)&rdoc_api);
assert(ret == 1);
}
// At init, on linux/android.
// For android replace librenderdoc.so with libVkLayer_GLES_RenderDoc.so
if(void *mod = dlopen("librenderdoc.so", RTLD_NOW | RTLD_NOLOAD))
{
pRENDERDOC_GetAPI RENDERDOC_GetAPI = (pRENDERDOC_GetAPI)dlsym(mod, "RENDERDOC_GetAPI");
int ret = RENDERDOC_GetAPI(eRENDERDOC_API_Version_1_1_2, (void **)&rdoc_api);
assert(ret == 1);
}
// To start a frame capture, call StartFrameCapture.
// You can specify NULL, NULL for the device to capture on if you have only one device and
// either no windows at all or only one window, and it will capture from that device.
// See the documentation below for a longer explanation
if(rdoc_api) rdoc_api->StartFrameCapture(NULL, NULL);
// Your rendering should happen here
// stop the capture
if(rdoc_api) rdoc_api->EndFrameCapture(NULL, NULL);
:param RENDERDOC_Version version: is the version number of the API for which you want the interface struct.
:param void** outAPIPointers: will be filled with the address of the API's function pointer struct, if supported. E.g. if ``eRENDERDOC_API_Version_1_1_1`` is requested, outAPIPointers will be filled with ``RENDERDOC_API_1_1_1*`` or any newer version that is compatible with API 1.1.1, but nothing lower.
:return: The function returns 1 if the API version is valid and available, and the struct pointer is filled. The function returns 0 if the API version is invalid or not supported, or the pointer parameter is invalid.
.. cpp:function:: void GetAPIVersion(int *major, int *minor, int *patch)
This function returns the actual API version of the implementation returned. Version numbers follow `semantic versioning <http://semver.org>`_ which means the implementation returned may have a higher minor and/or patch version than requested: New patch versions are identical and backwards compatible in functionality. New minor versions add new functionality in a backwards compatible way.
:param int* major: will be filled with the major version of the implementation's version.
:param int* minor: will be filled with the minor version of the implementation's version.
:param int* patch: which will be filled with the patch version of the implementation's version.
:return: None
.. cpp:function:: int SetCaptureOptionU32(RENDERDOC_CaptureOption opt, uint32_t val)

:param RENDERDOC_CaptureOption opt: specifies which capture option should be set.
:param uint32_t val: the unsigned integer value to set for the above option.
:return: The function returns 1 if the option is valid, and the value set on the option is within valid ranges. The function returns 0 if the option is not a :cpp:enum:`RENDERDOC_CaptureOption` enum, or the value is not valid for the option.
.. cpp:function:: int SetCaptureOptionF32(RENDERDOC_CaptureOption opt, float val)
Set one of the options for tweaking some behaviours of capturing. Note that each option only takes effect from after it is set - so it is advised to set these options as early as possible, ideally before any graphics API has been initialised..
:param RENDERDOC_CaptureOption opt: specifies which capture option should be set.
:param float val: the floating point value to set for the above option.
:return: The function returns 1 if the option is valid, and the value set on the option is within valid ranges. The function returns 0 if the option is not a :cpp:enum:`RENDERDOC_CaptureOption` enum, or the value is not valid for the option.

.. cpp:function:: void SetFocusToggleKeys(RENDERDOC_InputButton *keys, int num)
This function changes the key bindings in-application for changing the focussed window.
:param RENDERDOC_InputButton* keys: lists the keys to bind. If this parameter is ``NULL``, ``num`` must be 0.

.. cpp:function:: uint32_t GetOverlayBits()
This function returns the current mask which determines what sections of the overlay render on each window.
:return: A mask containing bits from :cpp:enum:`RENDERDOC_OverlayBits`.
.. cpp:enum:: RENDERDOC_OverlayBits

is the default set of bits, which is the value of the mask at startup.
.. cpp:enumerator:: RENDERDOC_OverlayBits::eRENDERDOC_Overlay_All
is equal to ``~0U`` so all bits are enabled.
.. cpp:enumerator:: RENDERDOC_OverlayBits::eRENDERDOC_Overlay_None
is equal to ``0`` so all bits are disabled.

This function modifies the current mask which determines what sections of the overlay render on each window.
:param uint32_t And: is a 32-bit value the mask is binary-AND'd with before processing ``Or``.
:param uint32_t Or: is a 32-bit value the mask is binary-OR'd with after processing ``And``.
.. cpp:function:: void RemoveHooks()
This function will attempt to remove RenderDoc and its hooks from the target process. It must be called as early as possible in the process, and will have undefined results if any graphics API functions have been called.
.. note::
This process is only possible on Windows, and even then it is not well defined so may not be possible in all circumstances. This function is provided at your own risk.
.. note::
This function was renamed, in earlier versions of the API it was declared as ``Shutdown``. This rename is backwards compatible as the function signature did not change.
.. cpp:function:: void UnloadCrashHandler()
This function will remove RenderDoc's crash handler from the target process. If you have your own crash handler that you want to handle any exceptions, RenderDoc's handler could interfere so it can be disabled.
.. cpp:function:: void SetCaptureFilePathTemplate(const char *pathtemplate)
Set the template for new captures. The template can either be a relative or absolute path, which determines where captures will be saved and how they will be named. If the path template is ``my_captures/example`` then captures saved will be e.g. ``my_captures/example_frame123.rdc`` and ``my_captures/example_frame456.rdc``. Relative paths will be saved relative to the process's current working directory. The default template is in a folder controlled by the UI - initially the system temporary folder, and the filename is the executable's filename.
:param const char* pathtemplate: specifies the capture path template to set, as UTF-8 null-terminated string.
.. note::
This function was renamed, in earlier versions of the API it was declared as ``SetLogFilePathTemplate``. This rename is backwards compatible as the function signature did not change.
.. cpp:function:: const char *GetCaptureFilePathTemplate()
Get the current capture path template, see :cpp:func:`SetCaptureFilePathTemplate`.
:return: the current capture path template as a UTF-8 null-terminated string.
.. note::
This function was renamed, in earlier versions of the API it was declared as ``GetLogFilePathTemplate``. This rename is backwards compatible as the function signature did not change.
.. cpp:function:: uint32_t GetNumCaptures()
This function returns the number of frame captures that have been made.
:return: the number of frame captures that have been made
.. cpp:function:: uint32_t GetCapture(uint32_t idx, char *filename, uint32_t *pathlength, uint64_t *timestamp)
This function returns the details of a particular frame capture, as specified by an index from 0 to :cpp:func:`GetNumCaptures` - 1.
:param uint32_t idx: specifies which capture to return the details of. Must be less than the return value of :cpp:func:`GetNumCaptures`.
:param char* filename: is an optional parameter filled with the UTF-8 null-terminated path to the file. There must be enough space in the array to contain all characters including the null terminator. If set to NULL, nothing is written.
:param uint32_t* pathlength: is an optional parameter filled with the byte length of the above `filename` including the null terminator. If set to NULL, nothing is written.
:param uint64_t* timestamp: is an optional parameter filled with the 64-bit timestamp of the file - equivalent to the `time()` system call. If set to NULL, nothing is written.
:return: Returns ``1`` if the capture index was valid, or ``0`` if it was out of range.
.. note::
It is advised to call this function twice - first to obtain ``pathlength`` so that sufficient space can be allocated. Then again to actually retrieve the path.
The path follows the template set in :cpp:func:`SetCaptureFilePathTemplate` so it may not be an absolute path.
.. cpp:function:: void TriggerCapture()
This function will trigger a capture as if the user had pressed one of the capture hotkeys. The capture will be taken from the next frame presented to whichever window is considered current.
.. cpp:function:: uint32_t IsTargetControlConnected()
This function returns a value to indicate whether the RenderDoc UI is currently connected to the current process.
:return: Returns ``1`` if the RenderDoc UI is currently connected, or ``0`` otherwise.
.. note::
This function was renamed, in earlier versions of the API it was declared as ``IsRemoteAccessConnected``. This rename is backwards compatible as the function signature did not change.
.. cpp:function:: uint32_t LaunchReplayUI(uint32_t connectTargetControl, const char *cmdline)
This function will determine the closest matching replay UI executable for the current RenderDoc module and launch it.
:param uint32_t connectTargetControl: should be set to 1 if the UI should immediately connect to the application.
:param const char* cmdline: is an optional UTF-8 null-terminated string to be appended to the command line, e.g. a capture filename. If this parameter is NULL, the command line will be unmodified.
:return: If the UI was successfully launched, this function will return the PID of the new process. Otherwise it will return ``0``.
.. cpp:function:: uint32_t ShowReplayUI()
This function requests that the currently connected replay UI raise its window to the top. This is only possible if an instance of the replay UI is currently connected, otherwise this function does nothing. This can be used in conjunction with IsTargetControlConnected and LaunchReplayUI to intelligently handle showing the UI after making a capture.
Given OS differences it is not guaranteed that the UI will be successfully raised even if the request is passed on. On some OSs it may only be highlighted or otherwise indicated to the user.
:return: If the request to be shown was passed onto the UI successfully this function will return ``1``. If there is no UI connected currently or some other error occurred it will return ``0``.
.. note::
Added in API version 1.5.0
.. cpp:function:: void SetActiveWindow(RENDERDOC_DevicePointer device, RENDERDOC_WindowHandle wndHandle)
This function will explicitly set which window is considered active. The active window is the one that will be captured when the keybind to trigger a capture is pressed.
:param RENDERDOC_DevicePointer device: is a handle to the API 'device' object that will be set active. Must be valid.
:param RENDERDOC_WindowHandle wndHandle: is a handle to the platform window handle that will be set active. Must be valid.
.. note::
``RENDERDOC_DevicePointer`` is a typedef to ``void *``. The contents of it are API specific:
* For D3D11 it must be the ``ID3D11Device`` device object.
* For D3D12 it must be the ``ID3D12Device`` device object.
* For OpenGL it must be the ``HGLRC``, ``GLXContext``, or ``EGLContext`` context object.
* For OpenGLES it must be the ``EGLContext`` context object.
* For Vulkan it must be the dispatch table pointer within the ``VkInstance``. This is a pointer-sized value at the location pointed to by the ``VkInstance``. NOTE - this is not the actual ``VkInstance`` pointer itself. You can use the RENDERDOC_DEVICEPOINTER_FROM_VKINSTANCE helper macro defined in the renderdoc header to obtain this pointer from any VkInstance.
``RENDERDOC_WindowHandle`` is a typedef to ``void *``. It is the platform specific Windows ``HWND``, Xcb ``xcb_window_t``, Xlib ``Window`` / ``Drawable``, Wayland ``wl_surface*``, or Android ``ANativeWindow*``.
.. cpp:function:: void StartFrameCapture(RENDERDOC_DevicePointer device, RENDERDOC_WindowHandle wndHandle)
This function will immediately begin a capture for the specified device/window combination.
:param RENDERDOC_DevicePointer device: is a handle to the API 'device' object that will be set active. May be ``NULL`` to wildcard match.
:param RENDERDOC_WindowHandle wndHandle: is a handle to the platform window handle that will be set active. May be ``NULL`` to wildcard match.
.. note::
``RENDERDOC_DevicePointer`` and ``RENDERDOC_WindowHandle`` are described above in :cpp:func:`SetActiveWindow`.
``device`` and ``wndHandle`` can either or both be set to ``NULL`` to wildcard match against active device/window combinations. This wildcard matching can be used if the handle is difficult to obtain where frame captures are triggered.
For example if ``device`` is ``NULL`` but ``wndHandle`` is set, RenderDoc will begin a capture on the first API it finds that is active on that window.
If the wildcard match has multiple possible candidates, it is not defined which will be chosen. Wildcard matching should only be used when e.g. it is known that only one API is active on a window, or there is only one window active for a given API.
If no window has been created and all rendering is off-screen, ``NULL`` can be specified for the window handle and the device object can be passed to select that API. If both are set to ``NULL``, RenderDoc will simply choose one at random so is only recommended for the case where only one is present.
.. cpp:function:: uint32_t IsFrameCapturing()
This function returns a value to indicate whether the current frame is capturing.
:return: Returns ``1`` if the frame is currently capturing, or ``0`` otherwise.
.. cpp:function:: uint32_t EndFrameCapture(RENDERDOC_DevicePointer device, RENDERDOC_WindowHandle wndHandle)
This function will immediately end an active capture for the specified device/window combination.
:param RENDERDOC_DevicePointer device: is a handle to the API 'device' object that will be set active. May be NULL to wildcard match.
:param RENDERDOC_WindowHandle wndHandle: is a handle to the platform window handle that will be set active. May be NULL to wildcard match.
:return: Returns ``1`` if the capture succeeded, and 0 if there was an error capturing.
.. note::
``RENDERDOC_DevicePointer`` and ``RENDERDOC_WindowHandle`` are described above in :cpp:func:`SetActiveWindow`.
``device`` and ``wndHandle`` can either or both be set to ``NULL`` to wildcard match against active device/window combinations. This wildcard matching can be used if the handle is difficult to obtain where frame captures are triggered.
Wildcard matching of `device` and `wndHandle` is described above in :cpp:func:`StartFrameCapture`.
There will be undefined results if there is not an active frame capture for the device/window combination.
.. cpp:function:: uint32_t DiscardFrameCapture(RENDERDOC_DevicePointer device, RENDERDOC_WindowHandle wndHandle)
This function is similar to :cpp:func:`EndFrameCapture` but the capture contents will be discarded immediately, and not processed and written to disk. This will be more efficient than :cpp:func:`EndFrameCapture` if the frame capture is not needed.
:param RENDERDOC_DevicePointer device: is a handle to the API 'device' object that will be set active. May be NULL to wildcard match.
:param RENDERDOC_WindowHandle wndHandle: is a handle to the platform window handle that will be set active. May be NULL to wildcard match.
:return: Returns ``1`` if the capture was discarded, and 0 if there was an error or no capture was in progress.

.. cpp:function:: void SetCaptureTitle(const char *title)
This function sets a given title for the currently in-progress capture, which will be displayed in the UI. This can be used either with a user-defined capture using a manual start and end, or an automatic capture triggered by :cpp:func:`TriggerCapture` or a keypress.
If multiple captures are ongoing at once, the title will be applied to the first capture to end only. Any subsequent captures will not get any title unless the function is called again.
This function can only be called while a capture is in-progress, after :cpp:func:`StartFrameCapture` and before :cpp:func:`EndFrameCapture`. If it is called elsewhere it will have no effect. If it is called multiple times within a capture, only the last title will have any effect.
.. note::
Added in API version 1.6.0
.. cpp:function:: void TriggerMultiFrameCapture(uint32_t numFrames)
This function will trigger multiple sequential frame captures as if the user had pressed one of the capture hotkeys before each frame. The captures will be taken from the next frames presented to whichever window is considered current.
Each capture will be taken independently and saved to a separate file, with no reference to the other frames.
:param uint32_t numFrames: the number of frames to capture, as an unsigned integer.
.. note::
Added in API version 1.1.0
.. cpp:function:: void SetCaptureFileComments(const char *filePath, const char *comments)
This function adds an arbitrary comments field to an existing capture on disk, which will then be displayed in the UI to anyone opening the capture.
:param const char* filePath: specifies the path to the capture file to set comments in, as UTF-8 null-terminated string. If this path is ``NULL`` or an empty string, the most recent capture file that has been created will be used.
:param const char* comments: specifies the comments to set in the capture file, as UTF-8 null-terminated string.
.. note::
Added in API version 1.2.0
