VkMultiviewPerViewRenderAreasRenderPassBeginInfoQCOM(3)

# VkMultiviewPerViewRenderAreasRenderPassBeginInfoQCOM(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkMultiviewPerViewRenderAreasRenderPassBeginInfoQCOM - Set the multiview per view render areas for a render pass instance

## C Specification

If a render pass instance enables multiview and if the `multiviewPerViewRenderAreas` feature is enabled, the `VkMultiviewPerViewRenderAreasRenderPassBeginInfoQCOM` structure can be included in the `pNext` chain of VkRenderPassBeginInfo or VkRenderingInfo

The `VkMultiviewPerViewRenderAreasRenderPassBeginInfoQCOM` structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_QCOM_multiview_per_view_render_areas
    typedef struct VkMultiviewPerViewRenderAreasRenderPassBeginInfoQCOM {
        VkStructureType    sType;
        const void*        pNext;
        uint32_t           perViewRenderAreaCount;
        const VkRect2D*    pPerViewRenderAreas;
    } VkMultiviewPerViewRenderAreasRenderPassBeginInfoQCOM;

## Members

- `sType` is a VkStructureType value identifying this structure.

- `pNext` is `NULL` or a pointer to a structure extending this structure.

- `perViewRenderAreaCount` is the number of elements in the `pPerViewRenderAreas` array.

- `pPerViewRenderAreas` is a pointer to an array of VkRect2D structures defining the render area for each view.

## Description

If `perViewRenderAreaCount` is not zero, then the elements of `pPerViewRenderAreas` override the value of VkRenderPassBeginInfo::`renderArea` or VkRenderingInfo::`renderArea` and define per-view render areas for the individual views of a multiview render pass. The render area for the view with view index `i` is specified by `pPerViewRenderAreas`[i].

The per-view render areas define per-view regions of attachments that are loaded, stored, and resolved according to the `loadOp`, `storeOp`, and `resolveMode` values of the render pass instance. When per-view render areas are defined, the value of VkRenderPassBeginInfo::`renderArea` or VkRenderingInfo::`renderArea` must be a render area that includes the union of all per-view render areas, may be used by the implementation for optimizations, but does not affect loads, stores, or resolves.

If this structure is present and if `perViewRenderAreaCount` is not zero, then `perViewRenderAreaCount` must be at least one greater than the most significant bit set in any element of VkRenderPassMultiviewCreateInfo::`pViewMasks`. or VkRenderingInfo::`viewMask`

If this structure is not present or if `perViewRenderAreaCount` is zero, VkRenderPassBeginInfo::`renderArea` or VkRenderingInfo::`renderArea` is used for all views.

Valid Usage

- VUID-VkMultiviewPerViewRenderAreasRenderPassBeginInfoQCOM-offset-07861
  The `offset.x` member of any element of `pPerViewRenderAreas` must be greater than or equal to 0

- VUID-VkMultiviewPerViewRenderAreasRenderPassBeginInfoQCOM-offset-07862
  The `offset.y` member of any element of `pPerViewRenderAreas` must be greater than or equal to 0

- VUID-VkMultiviewPerViewRenderAreasRenderPassBeginInfoQCOM-offset-07863
  The sum of the `offset.x` and `extent.width` members of any element of `pPerViewRenderAreas` must be less than or equal to `maxFramebufferWidth`

- VUID-VkMultiviewPerViewRenderAreasRenderPassBeginInfoQCOM-offset-07864
  The sum of the `offset.y` and `extent.height` members of any element of `pPerViewRenderAreas` must be less than or equal to `maxFramebufferHeight`

- VUID-VkMultiviewPerViewRenderAreasRenderPassBeginInfoQCOM-pNext-07865
  If this structure is in the `pNext` chain of VkRenderPassBeginInfo and if the render pass object included an element in VkRenderPassMultiviewCreateInfo::`pViewMasks` that set bit `n`, then `perViewRenderAreaCount` must be at least equal to `n+1`

- VUID-VkMultiviewPerViewRenderAreasRenderPassBeginInfoQCOM-pNext-07866
  If this structure is in the `pNext` chain of VkRenderingInfo and if VkRenderingInfo::`viewMask` set bit `n`, then `perViewRenderAreaCount` must be at least equal to `n+1`

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkMultiviewPerViewRenderAreasRenderPassBeginInfoQCOM-sType-sType
  `sType` must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_MULTIVIEW_PER_VIEW_RENDER_AREAS_RENDER_PASS_BEGIN_INFO_QCOM

- VUID-VkMultiviewPerViewRenderAreasRenderPassBeginInfoQCOM-pPerViewRenderAreas-parameter
  If `perViewRenderAreaCount` is not `0`, `pPerViewRenderAreas` must be a valid pointer to an array of `perViewRenderAreaCount` VkRect2D structures
