VkPhysicalDeviceImage2DViewOf3DFeaturesEXT

Structure describing whether single-slice 2D views of 3D images can be used in image descriptors

The VkPhysicalDeviceImage2DViewOf3DFeaturesEXT structure is defined as:

typedef struct VkPhysicalDeviceImage2DViewOf3DFeaturesEXT {
    VkStructureType sType;
    void* pNext;
    VkBool32 image2DViewOf3D;
    VkBool32 sampler2DViewOf3D;
} VkPhysicalDeviceImage2DViewOf3DFeaturesEXT;

This structure describes the following features:

  • sType is a VkStructureType value identifying this structure.
  • pNext is NULL or a pointer to a structure extending this structure.
  • image2DViewOf3D indicates that the implementation supports using a 2D view of a 3D image in a descriptor of type VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_STORAGE_IMAGE if the image is created using VK_IMAGE_CREATE_2D_VIEW_COMPATIBLE_BIT_EXT.
  • sampler2DViewOf3D indicates that the implementation supports using a 2D view of a 3D image in a descriptor of type VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_SAMPLED_IMAGE or VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_COMBINED_IMAGE_SAMPLER if the image is created using VK_IMAGE_CREATE_2D_VIEW_COMPATIBLE_BIT_EXT.

If the VkPhysicalDeviceImage2DViewOf3DFeaturesEXT structure is included in the pNext chain of the VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures2 structure passed to vkGetPhysicalDeviceFeatures2, it is filled in to indicate whether each corresponding feature is supported. VkPhysicalDeviceImage2DViewOf3DFeaturesEXT can also be used in the pNext chain of VkDeviceCreateInfo to selectively enable these features.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

VUID-VkPhysicalDeviceImage2DViewOf3DFeaturesEXT-sType-sType

sType must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_IMAGE_2D_VIEW_OF_3D_FEATURES_EXT
