C Specification

The rasterization order to use for a graphics pipeline is specified by adding a VkPipelineRasterizationStateRasterizationOrderAMD structure to the pNext chain of a VkPipelineRasterizationStateCreateInfo structure.

The VkPipelineRasterizationStateRasterizationOrderAMD structure is defined as:

// Provided by VK_AMD_rasterization_order
typedef struct VkPipelineRasterizationStateRasterizationOrderAMD {
    VkStructureType            sType;
    const void*                pNext;
    VkRasterizationOrderAMD    rasterizationOrder;
} VkPipelineRasterizationStateRasterizationOrderAMD;

Members

  • sType is a VkStructureType value identifying this structure.

  • pNext is NULL or a pointer to a structure extending this structure.

  • rasterizationOrder is a VkRasterizationOrderAMD value specifying the primitive rasterization order to use.

Description

Valid Usage (Implicit)

If the VK_AMD_rasterization_order device extension is not enabled or the application does not request a particular rasterization order through specifying a VkPipelineRasterizationStateRasterizationOrderAMD structure then the rasterization order used by the graphics pipeline defaults to VK_RASTERIZATION_ORDER_STRICT_AMD.
