VkRectLayerKHR(3)

# VkRectLayerKHR(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkRectLayerKHR - Structure containing a rectangle, including layer, changed by vkQueuePresentKHR for a given VkImage

Loading… please wait.

## C Specification

The `VkRectLayerKHR` structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_KHR_incremental_present
    typedef struct VkRectLayerKHR {
        VkOffset2D    offset;
        VkExtent2D    extent;
        uint32_t      layer;
    } VkRectLayerKHR;

## Members

- `offset` is the origin of the rectangle, in pixels.

- `extent` is the size of the rectangle, in pixels.

- `layer` is the layer of the image. For images with only one layer, the value of `layer` must be 0.

## Description

Some platforms allow the size of a surface to change, and then scale the pixels of the image to fit the surface. `VkRectLayerKHR` specifies pixels of the swapchain’s image(s), which will be constant for the life of the swapchain.

Valid Usage

- VUID-VkRectLayerKHR-offset-04864
  The sum of `offset` and `extent`, after being transformed according to the `preTransform` member of the VkSwapchainCreateInfoKHR structure, must be no greater than the `imageExtent` member of the VkSwapchainCreateInfoKHR structure passed to vkCreateSwapchainKHR

- VUID-VkRectLayerKHR-layer-01262
  `layer` must be less than the `imageArrayLayers` member of the VkSwapchainCreateInfoKHR structure passed to vkCreateSwapchainKHR
