## Property Documentation

### accessType : AccessType

Returns the AccessType of the buffer.

Access functions:

Qt3DCore::QBuffer::AccessType | accessType() const
void | setAccessType(Qt3DCore::QBuffer::AccessType access)

Notifier signal:

void | accessTypeChanged(Qt3DCore::QBuffer::AccessType access)

See also QBuffer::AccessType.

### usage : UsageType

Holds the buffer usage.

Access functions:

Qt3DCore::QBuffer::UsageType | usage() const
void | setUsage(Qt3DCore::QBuffer::UsageType usage)

Notifier signal:

void | usageChanged(Qt3DCore::QBuffer::UsageType usage)

## Member Function Documentation

### `[explicit]` QBuffer::QBuffer(Qt3DCore::QNode *parent = nullptr)

Constructs a new QBuffer with parent.

### QByteArray QBuffer::data() const

Returns the data.

See also setData().

### `[signal]` void QBuffer::dataAvailable()

This signal is emitted when data becomes available.

### `[signal]` void QBuffer::dataChanged(const QByteArray &bytes)

This signal is emitted with bytes when data changes.

### void QBuffer::setData(const QByteArray &bytes)

Sets bytes as data.

See also data().

### `[invokable]` void QBuffer::updateData(int offset, const QByteArray &bytes)

Updates the data by replacing it with bytes at offset.

Note: This function can be invoked via the meta-object system and from QML. See Q_INVOKABLE.
