# MTLVisibilityResultType

This enumeration controls if Metal accumulates visibility results between render encoders or resets them.

## Declaration

```swift
enum MTLVisibilityResultType
```

## Overview

Overview You can specify this property for MTLRenderCommandEncoders and for MTL4RenderCommandEncoders through their descriptors’ MTLRenderCommandEncoder/visibilityResultType and MTL4RenderCommandEncoder/visibilityResultType methods.
