VkCoarseSampleOrderCustomNV

The VkCoarseSampleOrderCustomNV structure is defined as:

typedef struct VkCoarseSampleOrderCustomNV {
    VkShadingRatePaletteEntryNV shadingRate;
    uint32_t sampleCount;
    uint32_t sampleLocationCount;
    const VkCoarseSampleLocationNV* pSampleLocations;
} VkCoarseSampleOrderCustomNV;

• shadingRate is a shading rate palette entry that identifies the fragment width and height for the combination of fragment area and per-pixel coverage sample count to control.
• sampleCount identifies the per-pixel coverage sample count for the combination of fragment area and coverage sample count to control.
• sampleLocationCount specifies the number of sample locations in the custom ordering.
• pSampleLocations is a pointer to an array of VkCoarseSampleLocationNV structures specifying the location of each sample in the custom ordering.

The VkCoarseSampleOrderCustomNV structure is used with a coverage sample ordering type of VK_COARSE_SAMPLE_ORDER_TYPE_CUSTOM_NV to specify the order of coverage samples for one combination of fragment width, fragment height, and coverage sample count.

When using a custom sample ordering, element j in pSampleLocations specifies a specific pixel location and sample index that corresponds to coverage index j in the multi-pixel fragment.
