This is usually achieved by using a geometry shader to convert lines and points to quads.ДЇatLine : this pass can render lines as quadsДЇatPoint : this pass can render points as quads Vertex components are rendered as quads instead of single pixels, and edge components, mostly during pre-selection highlighting, are rendered larger, for better visibility. Specifies that this pass can handle the rendering of the following components:Д¬an be used to handle edge or vertex components during the rendering pass or the selection pass. Set to selectionPass for passes used to select non-material items See OverridesNonMaterialItems in New supported technique annotations above. You can now set this annotation to nonMaterialItemsPass for passes used to render non-material items. For example, the following contexts are supported: colorPass, shadowPass, depthPass, and normalDepthPass.ДЄn empty value (or if DrawContext is not set) is equivalent to setting this annotation to colorPass. This can be any string value that matches a pass semantic in MHWRender::MPassContext. Multiple passes can have the same DrawContext value. Specifies that this pass should be enabled only for this draw context. Specifies whether geometry instances are being drawn.Д¬orresponds to: MUniformParameter::kSemanticHWSInstancedDraw. Useful when generating fat points or lines.Д¬orresponds to: MUniformParameter::kSemanticHWSFrontCCW. Specifies whether a counter clockwise triangle is front facing. Specifies whether selection is to be done at the vertex level.Д¬orresponds to: MUniformParameter::kSemanticHWSVertexLevel. Specifies whether selection is to be done at the edge level.Д¬orresponds to: MUniformParameter::kSemanticHWSEdgeLevel.

Specifies whether selection is to be done at the face level.Д¬orresponds to: MUniformParameter::kSemanticHWSFaceLevel.

Specifies whether selection is to be done at the object level.Д¬orresponds to: MUniformParameter::kSemanticHWSObjectLevel. Specifies the amount that HWS_PrimitiveBase needs to be incremented for each geometry instance.Д¬orresponds to: MUniformParameter::kSemanticHWSPrimitiveCountPerInstance. (GPU Instancing must be enabled in the Viewport 2.0 options window.)Д¬orresponds to: MUniformParameter::kSemanticHWSPrimitiveBase.

Integer used to generate the color of the object, or the first component, or the first geometry instance.
