(This is the legacy documentation for SDL2, the previous stable version; SDL3 is the current stable version.)

SDL_Metal_CreateView

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

Header File

Defined in SDL_metal.h

Syntax

SDL_MetalView SDL_Metal_CreateView(SDL_Window * window);

Remarks

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().

Version

This function is available since SDL 2.0.12.
