    Function writeSplatTexels

    • Fused texel writer: one pass over the staged arrays into the texture's backing store, in the 4-texel layout documented in ./element-texture-layout. Replaces the six per-attribute strided writes of the interleaved era — fewer passes over the data.

      Returns the written count, clamped to the texture's capacity (capacity clamping warns once at acquire time; this clamp keeps the write memory-safe if a caller slips past it).

      opts.fromSplat (depth-sorting Phase 4 Stage 2, the append fast path): skip writing texels [0, fromSplat) and register the dirty range for only the [fromSplat, n) suffix. The prefix texels are already correct on the texture's CPU mirror from the earlier commit that wrote them (the commit layer only sets fromSplat > 0 when the projected prefix is provably byte-identical — same view state + prefix-identical input + intact GPU buffer), so re-writing and re-uploading them is redundant. Source arrays are still full-length count; only the loop lower bound and the dirty-range start move — the length guard below is unchanged.

      Parameters

      • texture: DataTexture
      • src: SplatTexelSource
      • count: number
      • Optionalopts: { fromSplat?: number }

      Returns number
