Create an image view from an existing image

To create an image view, call:

VkResult vkCreateImageView(
    VkDevice device,
    const VkImageViewCreateInfo* pCreateInfo,
    const VkAllocationCallbacks* pAllocator,
    VkImageView* pView);
  • device is the logical device that creates the image view.
  • pCreateInfo is a pointer to a VkImageViewCreateInfo structure containing parameters to be used to create the image view.
  • pAllocator controls host memory allocation as described in the Memory Allocation chapter.
  • pView is a pointer to a VkImageView handle in which the resulting image view object is returned.
