Enum MirDepthLayer

Enum Documentation

enum MirDepthLayer

Depth layer controls Z ordering of surfaces.

A surface will always appear on top of surfaces with a lower depth layer, and below those with a higher one. A depth layer can be converted to a number with mir::mir_depth_layer_get_index(). This is useful for creating a list indexed by depth layer, or comparing the height of two layers.
