C Specification

The VkRenderingFragmentShadingRateAttachmentInfoKHR structure is defined as:

// Provided by VK_KHR_dynamic_rendering with VK_KHR_fragment_shading_rate
typedef struct VkRenderingFragmentShadingRateAttachmentInfoKHR {
    VkStructureType    sType;
    const void*        pNext;
    VkImageView        imageView;
    VkImageLayout      imageLayout;
    VkExtent2D         shadingRateAttachmentTexelSize;
} VkRenderingFragmentShadingRateAttachmentInfoKHR;

Members

  • sType is a VkStructureType value identifying this structure.

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

  • imageView is the image view that will be used as a fragment shading rate attachment.

  • imageLayout is the layout that imageView will be in during rendering.

  • shadingRateAttachmentTexelSize specifies the number of pixels corresponding to each texel in imageView.

Description

This structure can be included in the pNext chain of VkRenderingInfo to define a fragment shading rate attachment. If imageView is VK_NULL_HANDLE, or if this structure is not specified, the implementation behaves as if a valid shading rate attachment was specified with all texels specifying a single pixel per fragment.

Valid Usage

  • VUID-VkRenderingFragmentShadingRateAttachmentInfoKHR-imageView-06147
    If imageView is not VK_NULL_HANDLE, layout must be VK_IMAGE_LAYOUT_GENERAL or VK_IMAGE_LAYOUT_FRAGMENT_SHADING_RATE_ATTACHMENT_OPTIMAL_KHR

  • VUID-VkRenderingFragmentShadingRateAttachmentInfoKHR-imageView-06148
    If imageView is not VK_NULL_HANDLE, it must have been created with VK_IMAGE_USAGE_FRAGMENT_SHADING_RATE_ATTACHMENT_BIT_KHR

  • VUID-VkRenderingFragmentShadingRateAttachmentInfoKHR-imageView-06149
    If imageView is not VK_NULL_HANDLE, shadingRateAttachmentTexelSize.width must be a power of two value

  • VUID-VkRenderingFragmentShadingRateAttachmentInfoKHR-imageView-06150
    If imageView is not VK_NULL_HANDLE, shadingRateAttachmentTexelSize.width must be less than or equal to maxFragmentShadingRateAttachmentTexelSize.width

  • VUID-VkRenderingFragmentShadingRateAttachmentInfoKHR-imageView-06151
    If imageView is not VK_NULL_HANDLE, shadingRateAttachmentTexelSize.width must be greater than or equal to minFragmentShadingRateAttachmentTexelSize.width

  • VUID-VkRenderingFragmentShadingRateAttachmentInfoKHR-imageView-06152
    If imageView is not VK_NULL_HANDLE, shadingRateAttachmentTexelSize.height must be a power of two value

  • VUID-VkRenderingFragmentShadingRateAttachmentInfoKHR-imageView-06153
    If imageView is not VK_NULL_HANDLE, shadingRateAttachmentTexelSize.height must be less than or equal to maxFragmentShadingRateAttachmentTexelSize.height

  • VUID-VkRenderingFragmentShadingRateAttachmentInfoKHR-imageView-06154
    If imageView is not VK_NULL_HANDLE, shadingRateAttachmentTexelSize.height must be greater than or equal to minFragmentShadingRateAttachmentTexelSize.height

  • VUID-VkRenderingFragmentShadingRateAttachmentInfoKHR-imageView-06155
    If imageView is not VK_NULL_HANDLE, the quotient of shadingRateAttachmentTexelSize.width and shadingRateAttachmentTexelSize.height must be less than or equal to maxFragmentShadingRateAttachmentTexelSizeAspectRatio

  • VUID-VkRenderingFragmentShadingRateAttachmentInfoKHR-imageView-06156
    If imageView is not VK_NULL_HANDLE, the quotient of shadingRateAttachmentTexelSize.height and shadingRateAttachmentTexelSize.width must be less than or equal to maxFragmentShadingRateAttachmentTexelSizeAspectRatio

Valid Usage (Implicit)

  • VUID-VkRenderingFragmentShadingRateAttachmentInfoKHR-sType-sType
    sType must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_RENDERING_FRAGMENT_SHADING_RATE_ATTACHMENT_INFO_KHR

  • VUID-VkRenderingFragmentShadingRateAttachmentInfoKHR-imageView-parameter
    If imageView is not VK_NULL_HANDLE, imageView must be a valid VkImageView handle

  • VUID-VkRenderingFragmentShadingRateAttachmentInfoKHR-imageLayout-parameter
    imageLayout must be a valid VkImageLayout value
