Unigine.Profiler Class
The Profiler class is used to create counters for the engine Performance Profiler. Allows using counters in your code in the following manner:
Source code (C#)
Profiler.Begin("my_counter");
// ...code to profile...
Profiler.End();Notice
Counters can be nested.
Usage Example#
The following example contains different approaches to creating counters:
- Two counters are added via the setValue() function: one shows the number of dynamic mesh vertices, the other shows the update time. This approach should be used when you need to show, for example, a value of a setting, the number of objects, and so on.
- Another two counters are added by using the begin()/end() construction. They show the time spent for mesh grid modifying and the time spent for mesh normal vectors, tangent vectors and a mesh bounding box calculation. This approach should be used when you need to show time spent for executing a part of the code.
A dynamic mesh is created in Init and then modified on the engine update. All counters are created in Update(), too.
