# cp_view_t

A type that provides information on how to render content into the frame’s textures.

## Declaration

```occ
typedef struct cp_view * cp_view_t;
```

## Discussion

Discussion Compositor Services provides a view for each distinct render viewpoint. For example, a head-mounted display typically contains two views: one for each eye. Use the information in the views to set up your render pass descriptor, or to determine which part of a texture to fill with content.
