API Reference > imodeljs-frontend > Rendering Rendering Classes for rendering the contents of views. Classes Name Description DecorateContext Provides context for a ViewportDecorator to add Decorations to be rendered within a Viewport. Decorations A set of RenderGraphics and CanvasDecorations produced by Tools and Decorators, used to decorate the contents of a Viewport. DynamicsContext Provides context for an InteractiveTool to display decorations representing its current state. EmphasizeElements An implementation of EmphasizeElements.FeatureOverrideProvider for emphasizing selected elements through simple color/transparency appearance overrides. FlashSettings Settings that control how geometry is "flashed" when hovered over in a Viewport. GraphicBranch A node in a scene graph. GraphicBuilder Provides methods for constructing a RenderGraphic from geometric primitives. RenderClipVolume An opaque representation of a clip volume applied to geometry within a Viewport. RenderContext Provides context for producing RenderGraphics for drawing within a Viewport. RenderGraphic Abstract representation of an object which can be rendered by a RenderSystem. RenderGraphicOwner A graphic that owns another graphic. RenderSystem A RenderSystem provides access to resources used by the internal WebGL-based rendering system. Scene Holds a collection of objects comprising the scene to be drawn by a Viewport's. SceneContext Context used to create the scene to be drawn in a Viewport. Enumerations Name Description FlashMode As part of FlashSettings, describes how geometry is flashed. GraphicType Describes the type of a GraphicBuilder, which defines the coordinate system in which the builder's geometry is defined and UniformType The underlying data types that can be used for uniform variables in screen-space effect shaders.

ParticleCollectionBuilderParams Parameters used to construct a ParticleCollectionBuilderParams.ParticleCollectionBuilder. ParticleProps Describes a particle to to add to a particle collection via ParticleCollectionBuilder.addParticle. PickableGraphicOptions Options used as part of GraphicBuilderOptions to describe a pickable RenderGraphic. QueryScreenFeaturesOptions Options specifying how to query for visible Features by reading pixels rendered by a Viewport. Beta QueryTileFeaturesOptions Options specifying how to query for visible Features by inspecting the Tiles selected for display by a Viewport. Beta RenderSystem.Options Options passed to IModelApp.supplyRenderSystem to configure the RenderSystem on startup. RenderSystemDebugControl An interface optionally exposed by a RenderSystem that allows control of various debugging features. Beta ScreenSpaceEffectBuilder An interface used to construct and register with the IModelApp.renderSystem a custom screen-space effect. ScreenSpaceEffectBuilderParams Parameters used to create a ScreenSpaceEffectBuilder. ScreenSpaceEffectContext Context passed to ScreenSpaceEffectBuilder.shouldApply. ScreenSpaceEffectSource The GLSL implementation of the effect produced by a ScreenSpaceEffectBuilder, to be integrated into a complete shader program. Uniform Represents a uniform variable in a shader program used by a custom screen-space effect, providing methods for setting the current value of the uniform. UniformArrayParams Parameters used to define an array of uniform variables for a ScreenSpaceEffectBuilder's shader program. UniformContext Context supplied to UniformParams.bind. UniformParams Parameters used to define a uniform variable for a ScreenSpaceEffectBuilder's shader program. VisibleFeature Represents a Feature determined to be visible within a Viewport.
