VkPhysicalDeviceConservativeRasterizationPropertiesEXT(3) Manual Page

sType is a VkStructureType value identifying this structure.

pNext is NULL or a pointer to a structure extending this structure.

primitiveOverestimationSize is the size in pixels the generating primitive is increased at each of its edges during conservative rasterization overestimation mode. Even with a size of 0.0, conservative rasterization overestimation rules still apply and if any part of the pixel rectangle is covered by the generating primitive, fragments are generated for the entire pixel. However implementations may make the pixel coverage area even more conservative by increasing the size of the generating primitive.

maxExtraPrimitiveOverestimationSize is the maximum size in pixels of extra overestimation the implementation supports in the pipeline state. A value of 0.0 means the implementation does not support any additional overestimation of the generating primitive during conservative rasterization. A value above 0.0 allows the application to further increase the size of the generating primitive during conservative rasterization overestimation.

extraPrimitiveOverestimationSizeGranularity is the granularity of extra overestimation that can be specified in the pipeline state between 0.0 and maxExtraPrimitiveOverestimationSize inclusive. A value of 0.0 means the implementation can use the smallest representable non-zero value in the screen space pixel fixed-point grid.

primitiveUnderestimation is VK_TRUE if the implementation supports the VK_CONSERVATIVE_RASTERIZATION_MODE_UNDERESTIMATE_EXT conservative rasterization mode in addition to VK_CONSERVATIVE_RASTERIZATION_MODE_OVERESTIMATE_EXT. Otherwise the implementation only supports VK_CONSERVATIVE_RASTERIZATION_MODE_OVERESTIMATE_EXT.

conservativePointAndLineRasterization is VK_TRUE if the implementation supports conservative rasterization of point and line primitives as well as triangle primitives. Otherwise the implementation only supports triangle primitives.

degenerateTrianglesRasterized is VK_FALSE if the implementation culls primitives generated from triangles that become zero area after they are quantized to the fixed-point rasterization pixel grid. degenerateTrianglesRasterized is VK_TRUE if these primitives are not culled and the provoking vertex attributes and depth value are used for the fragments. The primitive area calculation is done on the primitive generated from the clipped triangle if applicable. Zero area primitives are backfacing and the application can enable backface culling if desired.

degenerateLinesRasterized is VK_FALSE if the implementation culls lines that become zero length after they are quantized to the fixed-point rasterization pixel grid. degenerateLinesRasterized is VK_TRUE if zero length lines are not culled and the provoking vertex attributes and depth value are used for the fragments.

fullyCoveredFragmentShaderInputVariable is VK_TRUE if the implementation supports the SPIR-V builtin fragment shader input variable FullyCoveredEXT specifying that conservative rasterization is enabled and the fragment area is fully covered by the generating primitive.

conservativeRasterizationPostDepthCoverage is VK_TRUE if the implementation supports conservative rasterization with the PostDepthCoverage execution mode enabled. Otherwise the PostDepthCoverage execution mode must not be used when conservative rasterization is enabled.
