C Specification

The xrEnumerateSwapchainFormats is defined as:

XrResult xrEnumerateSwapchainFormats(
    XrSession                                   session,
    uint32_t                                    formatCapacityInput,
    uint32_t*                                   formatCountOutput,
    int64_t*                                    formats);

Parameters

Parameter Descriptions

  • session is the session that enumerates the supported formats.

  • formatCapacityInput is the capacity of the formats, or 0 to retrieve the required capacity.

  • formatCountOutput is a pointer to the count of uint64_t formats written, or a pointer to the required capacity in the case that formatCapacityInput is 0.

  • formats is a pointer to an array of int64_t format ids, but can be NULL if formatCapacityInput is 0. The format ids are specific to the specified graphics API.

  • See Buffer Size Parameters chapter for a detailed description of retrieving the required formats size.

Description

xrEnumerateSwapchainFormats enumerates the texture formats supported by the current session. The type of formats returned are dependent on the graphics API specified in xrCreateSession. For example, if a DirectX graphics API was specified, then the enumerated formats correspond to the DXGI formats, such as DXGI_FORMAT_R8G8B8A8_UNORM_SRGB.

With an OpenGL-based graphics API, the texture formats correspond to OpenGL internal formats.

With a Direct3D-based graphics API, xrEnumerateSwapchainFormats never returns typeless formats (e.g. DXGI_FORMAT_R8G8B8A8_TYPELESS). Only concrete formats are returned, and only concrete formats may be specified by applications for swapchain creation.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

  • session must be a valid XrSession handle

  • If formatCapacityInput is not 0, formatCapacityInput must be a valid uint32_t value

  • If formatCountOutput is not NULL, formatCountOutput must be a pointer to a uint32_t value

  • If formatCapacityInput is not 0, formats must be a pointer to an array of formatCapacityInput int64_t values

Return Codes
On success, this command returns

  • XR_SUCCESS

  • XR_SESSION_LOSS_PENDING

On failure, this command returns

  • XR_ERROR_INSTANCE_LOST

  • XR_ERROR_SESSION_LOST

  • XR_ERROR_RUNTIME_FAILURE

  • XR_ERROR_HANDLE_INVALID

  • XR_ERROR_SIZE_INSUFFICIENT

  • XR_ERROR_VALIDATION_FAILURE
