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. If the application wishes to use a VkDevice with any features described by VkPhysicalDeviceImage2DViewOf3DFeaturesEXT, it must add an instance of the structure, with the desired feature members set to VK_TRUE, to the pNext chain of VkDeviceCreateInfo when creating the VkDevice.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

VUID-VkPhysicalDeviceImage2DViewOf3DFeaturesEXT-sType-sType

sType must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_IMAGE_2D_VIEW_OF_3D_FEATURES_EXT
