VkPhysicalDeviceMultisampledRenderToSwapchainFeaturesEXT(3)

# VkPhysicalDeviceMultisampledRenderToSwapchainFeaturesEXT(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkPhysicalDeviceMultisampledRenderToSwapchainFeaturesEXT - Structure describing whether multisampled rendering to single-sampled attachments is supported on swapchain images

## C Specification

The `VkPhysicalDeviceMultisampledRenderToSwapchainFeaturesEXT` structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_EXT_multisampled_render_to_swapchain
    typedef struct VkPhysicalDeviceMultisampledRenderToSwapchainFeaturesEXT {
        VkStructureType    sType;
        void*              pNext;
        VkBool32           multisampledRenderToSwapchain;
    } VkPhysicalDeviceMultisampledRenderToSwapchainFeaturesEXT;

## Members

This structure describes the following features:

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

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

- `multisampledRenderToSwapchain` indicates that the implementation supports multisampled rendering to single-sampled render pass attachments referencing swapchain images.

## Description

If the `VkPhysicalDeviceMultisampledRenderToSwapchainFeaturesEXT` structure is included in the `pNext` chain of the VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures2 structure passed to vkGetPhysicalDeviceFeatures2, it is filled in to indicate whether each corresponding feature is supported. If the application wishes to use a VkDevice with any features described by `VkPhysicalDeviceMultisampledRenderToSwapchainFeaturesEXT`, it must add an instance of the structure, with the desired feature members set to VK_TRUE, to the `pNext` chain of VkDeviceCreateInfo when creating the VkDevice.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkPhysicalDeviceMultisampledRenderToSwapchainFeaturesEXT-sType-sType
  `sType` must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_MULTISAMPLED_RENDER_TO_SWAPCHAIN_FEATURES_EXT

Structure Chaining
