Remarks

The following example shows the function being used as part of an arithmetic composite effect.

  
D2D_PS_ENTRY(PS_NAME)  
{  
    MIN_TYPE(float4) sourceColor = D2DGetInput(0);  
    MIN_TYPE(float4) destColor   = D2DGetInput(1);  
      
    MIN_TYPE(float4) output = // TODO: add math to composite source and dest

    return output;  
}  

Also, refer to the remarks for D2D_PS_ENTRY for another example of the use of this function.
