# EvaluateAttributeAtCentroid
## Description
Interpolates vertex attribute at centroid position.
## Signature
T EvaluateAttributeAtCentroid<T>(T x)
where T : __BuiltinArithmeticType;
vector<T, N> EvaluateAttributeAtCentroid<T, int N>(vector<T, N> x)
where T : __BuiltinArithmeticType;
matrix<T, N, M> EvaluateAttributeAtCentroid<T, int N, int M>(
matrix<T, N, M> x)
where T : __BuiltinArithmeticType;
## Generic Parameters
#### T: [\_\_BuiltinArithmeticType](../interfaces/0_builtinarithmetictype-029j/index.html)
#### N : int
#### M : int
## Parameters
#### x : [T](evaluateattributeatcentroid-08hj.html#typeparam-T)
The vertex attribute to interpolate.
#### x : [vector](../types/vector/index.html)\<[T](../types/vector/index.html#typeparam-T), [N](../types/vector/index.html#decl-N)\>
The vertex attribute to interpolate.
#### x : [matrix](../types/matrix/index.html)\<[T](../types/matrix/t-0.html), [N](../types/matrix/index.html#decl-N), [M](../types/matrix/index.html#decl-M)\>
The vertex attribute to interpolate.
## Return value
The interpolated attribute value.
## Remarks
x must be a direct reference to a fragment shader varying input.
