VkImageCreateInfo

The VkImageCreateInfo structure is defined as:

typedef struct VkImageCreateInfo {
    VkStructureType sType;
    const void* pNext;
    VkImageCreateFlags flags;
    VkImageType imageType;
    VkFormat format;
    VkExtent3D extent;
    uint32_t mipLevels;
    uint32_t arrayLayers;
    VkSampleCountFlagBits samples;
    VkImageTiling tiling;
    VkImageUsageFlags usage;
    VkSharingMode sharingMode;
    uint32_t queueFamilyIndexCount;
    const uint32_t* pQueueFamilyIndices;
    VkImageLayout initialLayout;
} VkImageCreateInfo;

sType is a VkStructureType value identifying this structure.
pNext is NULL or a pointer to a structure extending this structure.
flags is a bitmask of VkImageCreateFlagBits describing additional parameters of the image.
imageType is a VkImageType value specifying the basic dimensionality of the image. Layers in array textures do not count as a dimension for the purposes of the image type.
format is a VkFormat describing the format and type of the texel blocks that will be contained in the image.
extent is a VkExtent3D describing the number of data elements in each dimension of the base level.
mipLevels describes the number of levels of detail available for minified sampling of the image.
arrayLayers is the number of layers in the image.
samples is a VkSampleCountFlagBits value specifying the number of samples per texel.
tiling is a VkImageTiling value specifying the tiling arrangement of the texel blocks in memory.
usage is a bitmask of VkImageUsageFlagBits describing the intended usage of the image.
sharingMode is a VkSharingMode value specifying the sharing mode of the image when it will be accessed by multiple queue families.
queueFamilyIndexCount is the number of entries in the pQueueFamilyIndices array.
pQueueFamilyIndices is a pointer to an array of queue families that will access this image. It is ignored if sharingMode is not VK_SHARING_MODE_CONCURRENT.
initialLayout is a VkImageLayout value specifying the initial VkImageLayout of all image subresources of the image. See Image Layouts.

Images created with tiling equal to VK_IMAGE_TILING_LINEAR have further restrictions on their limits and capabilities compared to images created with tiling equal to VK_IMAGE_TILING_OPTIMAL. Creation of images with tiling VK_IMAGE_TILING_LINEAR may not be supported unless other parameters meet all of the constraints:

imageType is VK_IMAGE_TYPE_2D
format is not a depth/stencil format
mipLevels is 1
arrayLayers is 1
samples is VK_SAMPLE_COUNT_1_BIT
usage only includes VK_IMAGE_USAGE_TRANSFER_SRC_BIT and/or VK_IMAGE_USAGE_TRANSFER_DST_BIT

Images created with one of the formats that require a sampler Y′C_BC_R conversion, have further restrictions on their limits and capabilities compared to images created with other formats. Creation of images with a format requiring Y′C_BC_R conversion may not be supported unless other parameters meet all of the constraints:

imageType is VK_IMAGE_TYPE_2D
mipLevels is 1
arrayLayers is 1, unless the ycbcrImageArrays feature is enabled, or otherwise indicated by VkImageFormatProperties::maxArrayLayers, as returned by vkGetPhysicalDeviceImageFormatProperties
samples is VK_SAMPLE_COUNT_1_BIT

Implementations may support additional limits and capabilities beyond those listed above.

To determine the set of valid usage bits for a given format, call vkGetPhysicalDeviceFormatProperties.

If the size of the resultant image would exceed maxResourceSize, then vkCreateImage must fail and return VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_DEVICE_MEMORY. This failure may occur even when all image creation parameters satisfy their valid usage requirements.

If the implementation reports VK_TRUE in VkPhysicalDeviceHostImageCopyPropertiesEXT::identicalMemoryTypeRequirements, usage of VK_IMAGE_USAGE_HOST_TRANSFER_BIT_EXT must not affect the memory type requirements of the image as described in Sparse Resource Memory Requirements and Resource Memory Association.

For images created without VK_IMAGE_CREATE_EXTENDED_USAGE_BIT a usage bit is valid if it is supported for the format the image is created with.

For images created with VK_IMAGE_CREATE_EXTENDED_USAGE_BIT a usage bit is valid if it is supported for at least one of the formats a VkImageView created from the image can have (see Image Views for more detail).
