#### **resizeTarget**(self, size: _[Int2](/python-api/docs/int2#int2) | [Vec2](/python-api/docs/vec2#vec2)_, etf: _[ExtendedTextureFormat](/python-api/docs/extendedtextureformat#extendedtextureformat)_, msaaMode: _[MsaaMode](/python-api/docs/msaamode#msaamode)_, allocFlags: _int_, sliceCount: _int_, mipCount: _int_ = False)

Allocates (or reallocates) this texture as a render target on the GPU.

Creates the underlying ID3D11Texture2D with D3D11\_BIND\_RENDER\_TARGET |  
D3D11\_BIND\_SHADER\_RESOURCE flags. Also creates RTV and SRV handles.  
This is the primary entry point for creating textures that DxRenderer  
can target.

**Parameters**:

-   size: Dimensions in pixels.
-   etf: Pixel format (RGBA8, RGBA16F, etc.).
-   msaaMode: Multisampling mode (MSAA\_NONE by default).
-   allocFlags: Additional allocation flags from DxTexDescriptor.
-   sliceCount: Number of array slices (1 for non-array textures).
-   mipCount: Number of mip levels.

#### **saveFile**(self, path: _str_)

#### **store**(self, x: _int_, y: _int_, colour: _[Colour](/python-api/docs/colour#colour) | [Col](/python-api/docs/col#col) | [HDRColour](/python-api/docs/hdrcolour#hdrcolour)_)
