I'm trying to create an array of varyings in TSL, but I'm not sure how to do it. In GLSL, I would declare an array of varyings like this:
GLSLvarying float myArray[LENGTH];
I attempted to write the following in TSL:
varying
but received the error /* unknown statement */
. Could someone please explain how to declare an array of varyings in TSL?
Thank you!

In TSL (Taichi Shading Language), the syntax for declaring varyings is different from GLSL. TSL doesn't use the varying
keyword directly like GLSL does.
Instead, in TSL, you should use the @varying
decorator to mark variables that should be interpolated between shader stages. For arrays, you would typically define them as part of a struct.
Here's how you can declare an array of varyings in TSL:
PYTHON@ti.data_oriented class MyShader: @ti.struct_field class Varyings: myArray: ti.types.vector(LENGTH, ti.f32) # For a float array of LENGTH elements @ti.kernel def vertex_shader(self): # Set values to the varying array for i in range(LENGTH): self.varyings.myArray[i] = some_value @ti.kernel def fragment_shader(self): # Access the interpolated values for i in range(LENGTH): result = self.varyings.myArray[i] # Use the values...
Alternatively, if you need individual float varyings rather than a vector, you can use:
PYTHON@ti.struct_field class Varyings: # Define individual float varyings myArray0: ti.f32 myArray1: ti.f32 myArray2: ti.f32 # ... and so on for the number of elements you need
Remember that in TSL, varyings are typically organized within a struct and accessed through the shader class instance.
