Selects the vertex shader stage, which consumes vertex attributes and produces per-vertex outputs for later graphics pipeline stages.

Selects the fragment shader stage, which computes color and other per-fragment outputs during rasterization.

Selects the optional geometry shader stage, which consumes primitives from the vertex stage and emits new primitives before rasterization. This requires the GeometryShaders device feature.

Selects the optional compute shader stage, which is dispatched as a compute task rather than as part of a graphics draw pipeline. This requires the ComputeShaders device feature.
