# supportsShaderBarycentricCoordinates

A Boolean value that indicates whether the GPU supports barycentric coordinates.

## Declaration

```swift
var supportsShaderBarycentricCoordinates: Bool { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion If a GPU device supports barycentric coordinates, a fragment shader can receive them by adding the [[barycentric_coord]] attribute to one of its arguments. See the Metal Shading Language specification and Detecting GPU features and Metal software versions for more information.
