VkPhysicalDeviceDisplacementMicromapFeaturesNV(3)

# VkPhysicalDeviceDisplacementMicromapFeaturesNV(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkPhysicalDeviceDisplacementMicromapFeaturesNV - Structure describing the ray tracing displacement micromap features that can be supported by an implementation

## C Specification

The `VkPhysicalDeviceDisplacementMicromapFeaturesNV` structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_NV_displacement_micromap
    typedef struct VkPhysicalDeviceDisplacementMicromapFeaturesNV {
        VkStructureType    sType;
        void*              pNext;
        VkBool32           displacementMicromap;
    } VkPhysicalDeviceDisplacementMicromapFeaturesNV;

## Members

This structure describes the following feature:

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

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

- `displacementMicromap` indicates whether the implementation supports the displacement micromap feature.

## Description

If the `VkPhysicalDeviceDisplacementMicromapFeaturesNV` 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 `VkPhysicalDeviceDisplacementMicromapFeaturesNV`, 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-VkPhysicalDeviceDisplacementMicromapFeaturesNV-sType-sType
  `sType` must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_DISPLACEMENT_MICROMAP_FEATURES_NV

Structure Chaining

Extends the structures

  - VkDeviceCreateInfo
