C Specification
To query additional capabilities specific to image types, call:
VkResult vkGetPhysicalDeviceImageFormatProperties(
VkPhysicalDevice physicalDevice,
VkFormat format,
VkImageType type,
VkImageTiling tiling,
VkImageUsageFlags usage,
VkImageCreateFlags flags,
VkImageFormatProperties* pImageFormatProperties);
Parameters
-
physicalDevice
is the physical device from which to query the image capabilities. -
format
is a VkFormat value specifying the image format, corresponding to VkImageCreateInfo::format
. -
type
is a VkImageType value specifying the image type, corresponding to VkImageCreateInfo::imageType
. -
tiling
is a VkImageTiling value specifying the image tiling, corresponding to VkImageCreateInfo::tiling
. -
usage
is a bitmask of VkImageUsageFlagBits specifying the intended usage of the image, corresponding to VkImageCreateInfo::usage
. -
flags
is a bitmask of VkImageCreateFlagBits specifying additional parameters of the image, corresponding to VkImageCreateInfo::flags
. -
pImageFormatProperties
is a pointer to a VkImageFormatProperties structure in which capabilities are returned.
Description
The format
, type
, tiling
, usage
, and flags
parameters correspond to parameters that would be consumed by
vkCreateImage (as members of VkImageCreateInfo
).
If format
is not a supported image format, or if the combination of
format
, type
, tiling
, usage
, and flags
is not
supported for images, then vkGetPhysicalDeviceImageFormatProperties
returns VK_ERROR_FORMAT_NOT_SUPPORTED
.
The limitations on an image format that are reported by
vkGetPhysicalDeviceImageFormatProperties
have the following property:
if usage1
and usage2
of type VkImageUsageFlags are such that
the bits set in usage1
are a subset of the bits set in usage2
, and
flags1
and flags2
of type VkImageCreateFlags are such that
the bits set in flags1
are a subset of the bits set in flags2
,
then the limitations for usage1
and flags1
must be no more strict
than the limitations for usage2
and flags2
, for all values of
format
, type
, and tiling
.
