# MTLDataType.rg11b10Float

A packed 32-bit format with three floating-point color components, two of which are 11-bit values, and one is a 10-bit value.

```
case rg11b10Float
```

## Discussion

The 11-bit components for red and green each store five exponent bits and six mantissa bits. The 10-bit blue component stores five exponent bits and five mantissa bits.

> Note:
> None of the color components have a sign bit.
