Beyond the basics: writing custom operators in C#, writing shaders, and controlling parts of TiXL at the lowest level most users will touch.

Still to write

• Shader reference — HLSL conventions TiXL uses, built-in uniforms, coordinate spaces, common pitfalls.
• Context variables deep dive — how to pass values down a sub-graph, when to use them, when not.
• Performance internals — what the profiler columns mean, how to interpret flame graphs.
• Extending the UI — if/when a plugin surface emerges.
