An example demonstrating how to use multiple `#pragma stream_output` directives to define stream output for SV_POSITION.xy and COLOR.yz to a buffer bound to slot 0.

```dshl
#pragma stream_output 0 SV_POSITION XY
#pragma stream_output 0 COLOR YZ
```

This section covers essential editor functions, including initialization, handling menu item clicks, and retrieving core editor data and systems.

```C++
virtual void init(const char *select_workspace = nullptr)

int onMenuItemClick(unsigned id) override

int getMaxRTSize()

void init(const char *select_workspace = nullptr)
```

### Dagor Engine Configuration: Skin Modifier and Bone Limits

Source: https://gaijinentertainment.github.io/DagorEngine/projects/dng/dng_non_human_char

Example configuration for the `application.blk` file, specifying settings for the Skin modifier, including the number of bones per vertex and maximum bone count limitations relevant for asset building.

```ini
dynModel{
  descListOutPath:t="dynModelDesc"
  separateModelMatToDescBin:b=yes

  ignoreMappingInPrepareBillboardMesh:b=yes
  enableMeshNodeCollapse:b=no
  maxBonesCount:i=318   /* This is ineffective! Shader limitations cap bone count at 200.
                           Exceeding 200 will result in errors during daBuild. */
  setBonePerVertex:i=4  // Number of bones per vertex
}
```

### Get Texture Streaming Generation and Metadata

Source: https://gaijinentertainment.github.io/DagorEngine/api-references/dagor-render/index/resMgr/textures

Provides functions to retrieve the generation of managed texture content, which changes during streaming, and to get the texture meta data for a given texture ID. Also includes a function to validate texture IDs.

```cpp
uint16_t get_managed_texture_streaming_generation(TEXTUREID tid)
{
    // Implementation details...
    return 0;
}
```

```cpp
bool is_managed_texture_id_valid(TEXTUREID tid, bool validate_value)
{
    // Implementation details...
    return true;
}
```

```cpp
TextureMetaData get_texture_meta_data(TEXTUREID id)
{
    // Implementation details...
    return TextureMetaData{};
}
```
