C Specification

If the pNext chain of VkPipelineViewportStateCreateInfo includes a VkPipelineViewportCoarseSampleOrderStateCreateInfoNV structure, then that structure includes parameters controlling the order of coverage samples in fragments larger than one pixel.

The VkPipelineViewportCoarseSampleOrderStateCreateInfoNV structure is defined as:

// Provided by VK_NV_shading_rate_image
typedef struct VkPipelineViewportCoarseSampleOrderStateCreateInfoNV {
    VkStructureType                       sType;
    const void*                           pNext;
    VkCoarseSampleOrderTypeNV             sampleOrderType;
    uint32_t                              customSampleOrderCount;
    const VkCoarseSampleOrderCustomNV*    pCustomSampleOrders;
} VkPipelineViewportCoarseSampleOrderStateCreateInfoNV;

Members

  • sType is the type of this structure.

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

  • sampleOrderType specifies the mechanism used to order coverage samples in fragments larger than one pixel.

  • customSampleOrderCount specifies the number of custom sample orderings to use when ordering coverage samples.

  • pCustomSampleOrders is a pointer to an array of customSampleOrderCount VkCoarseSampleOrderCustomNV structures, each structure specifying the coverage sample order for a single combination of fragment area and coverage sample count.

Description

If this structure is not present, sampleOrderType is considered to be VK_COARSE_SAMPLE_ORDER_TYPE_DEFAULT_NV.

If sampleOrderType is VK_COARSE_SAMPLE_ORDER_TYPE_CUSTOM_NV, the coverage sample order used for any combination of fragment area and coverage sample count not enumerated in pCustomSampleOrders will be identical to that used for VK_COARSE_SAMPLE_ORDER_TYPE_DEFAULT_NV.

If the pipeline was created with VK_DYNAMIC_STATE_VIEWPORT_COARSE_SAMPLE_ORDER_NV, the contents of this structure (if present) are ignored, and the coverage sample order is instead specified by vkCmdSetCoarseSampleOrderNV.

Valid Usage

  • VUID-VkPipelineViewportCoarseSampleOrderStateCreateInfoNV-sampleOrderType-02072
    If sampleOrderType is not VK_COARSE_SAMPLE_ORDER_TYPE_CUSTOM_NV, customSamplerOrderCount must be 0

  • VUID-VkPipelineViewportCoarseSampleOrderStateCreateInfoNV-pCustomSampleOrders-02234
    The array pCustomSampleOrders must not contain two structures with matching values for both the shadingRate and sampleCount members

Valid Usage (Implicit)

  • VUID-VkPipelineViewportCoarseSampleOrderStateCreateInfoNV-sType-sType
    sType must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PIPELINE_VIEWPORT_COARSE_SAMPLE_ORDER_STATE_CREATE_INFO_NV

  • VUID-VkPipelineViewportCoarseSampleOrderStateCreateInfoNV-sampleOrderType-parameter
    sampleOrderType must be a valid VkCoarseSampleOrderTypeNV value

  • VUID-VkPipelineViewportCoarseSampleOrderStateCreateInfoNV-pCustomSampleOrders-parameter
    If customSampleOrderCount is not 0, pCustomSampleOrders must be a valid pointer to an array of customSampleOrderCount valid VkCoarseSampleOrderCustomNV structures
