VkPipelineRasterizationLineStateCreateInfo(3)

# VkPipelineRasterizationLineStateCreateInfo(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkPipelineRasterizationLineStateCreateInfo - Structure specifying parameters of a newly created pipeline line rasterization state

## C Specification

Line segment rasterization options are controlled by the VkPipelineRasterizationLineStateCreateInfo structure.

The `VkPipelineRasterizationLineStateCreateInfo` structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_VERSION_1_4
    typedef struct VkPipelineRasterizationLineStateCreateInfo {
        VkStructureType            sType;
        const void*                pNext;
        VkLineRasterizationMode    lineRasterizationMode;
        VkBool32                   stippledLineEnable;
        uint32_t                   lineStippleFactor;
        uint16_t                   lineStipplePattern;
    } VkPipelineRasterizationLineStateCreateInfo;

    // Provided by VK_KHR_line_rasterization
    // Equivalent to VkPipelineRasterizationLineStateCreateInfo
    typedef VkPipelineRasterizationLineStateCreateInfo VkPipelineRasterizationLineStateCreateInfoKHR;

    // Provided by VK_EXT_line_rasterization
    // Equivalent to VkPipelineRasterizationLineStateCreateInfo
    typedef VkPipelineRasterizationLineStateCreateInfo VkPipelineRasterizationLineStateCreateInfoEXT;

## Members

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

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

- `lineRasterizationMode` is a VkLineRasterizationMode value selecting the style of line rasterization.

- `stippledLineEnable` enables stippled line rasterization.

- `lineStippleFactor` is the repeat factor used in stippled line rasterization.

- `lineStipplePattern` is the bit pattern used in stippled line rasterization.

## Description

If `stippledLineEnable` is VK_FALSE, the values of `lineStippleFactor` and `lineStipplePattern` are ignored.

Valid Usage

- VUID-VkPipelineRasterizationLineStateCreateInfo-lineRasterizationMode-02768
  If `lineRasterizationMode` is VK_LINE_RASTERIZATION_MODE_RECTANGULAR, then the `rectangularLines` feature must be enabled

- VUID-VkPipelineRasterizationLineStateCreateInfo-lineRasterizationMode-02769
  If `lineRasterizationMode` is VK_LINE_RASTERIZATION_MODE_BRESENHAM, then the `bresenhamLines` feature must be enabled

- VUID-VkPipelineRasterizationLineStateCreateInfo-lineRasterizationMode-02770
  If `lineRasterizationMode` is VK_LINE_RASTERIZATION_MODE_RECTANGULAR_SMOOTH, then the `smoothLines` feature must be enabled

- VUID-VkPipelineRasterizationLineStateCreateInfo-stippledLineEnable-02771
  If `stippledLineEnable` is VK_TRUE and `lineRasterizationMode` is VK_LINE_RASTERIZATION_MODE_RECTANGULAR, then the `stippledRectangularLines` feature must be enabled

- VUID-VkPipelineRasterizationLineStateCreateInfo-stippledLineEnable-02772
  If `stippledLineEnable` is VK_TRUE and `lineRasterizationMode` is VK_LINE_RASTERIZATION_MODE_BRESENHAM, then the `stippledBresenhamLines` feature must be enabled

- VUID-VkPipelineRasterizationLineStateCreateInfo-stippledLineEnable-02773
  If `stippledLineEnable` is VK_TRUE and `lineRasterizationMode` is VK_LINE_RASTERIZATION_MODE_RECTANGULAR_SMOOTH, then the `stippledSmoothLines` feature must be enabled

- VUID-VkPipelineRasterizationLineStateCreateInfo-stippledLineEnable-02774
  If `stippledLineEnable` is VK_TRUE and `lineRasterizationMode` is VK_LINE_RASTERIZATION_MODE_DEFAULT, then the `stippledRectangularLines` feature must be enabled and VkPhysicalDeviceLimits::`strictLines` must be VK_TRUE

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkPipelineRasterizationLineStateCreateInfo-sType-sType
  `sType` must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PIPELINE_RASTERIZATION_LINE_STATE_CREATE_INFO

- VUID-VkPipelineRasterizationLineStateCreateInfo-lineRasterizationMode-parameter
  `lineRasterizationMode` must be a valid VkLineRasterizationMode value
