# VkPipelineViewportStateCreateInfo(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkPipelineViewportStateCreateInfo - Structure specifying parameters of a newly created pipeline viewport state

Loading… please wait.

## C Specification

The `VkPipelineViewportStateCreateInfo` structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_VERSION_1_0
    typedef struct VkPipelineViewportStateCreateInfo {
        VkStructureType                       sType;
        const void*                           pNext;
        VkPipelineViewportStateCreateFlags    flags;
        uint32_t                              viewportCount;
        const VkViewport*                     pViewports;
        uint32_t                              scissorCount;
        const VkRect2D*                       pScissors;
    } VkPipelineViewportStateCreateInfo;

## Members

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

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

- `flags` is reserved for future use.

- `viewportCount` is the number of viewports used by the pipeline.

- `pViewports` is a pointer to an array of VkViewport structures, defining the viewport transforms. If the viewport state is dynamic, this member is ignored.

- `scissorCount` is the number of scissors and must match the number of viewports.

- `pScissors` is a pointer to an array of VkRect2D structures defining the rectangular bounds of the scissor for the corresponding viewport. If the scissor state is dynamic, this member is ignored.

## Description

Valid Usage

- VUID-VkPipelineViewportStateCreateInfo-viewportCount-01216
  If the `multiViewport` feature is not enabled, `viewportCount` must not be greater than `1`

- VUID-VkPipelineViewportStateCreateInfo-scissorCount-01217
  If the `multiViewport` feature is not enabled, `scissorCount` must not be greater than `1`

- VUID-VkPipelineViewportStateCreateInfo-viewportCount-01218
  `viewportCount` must be less than or equal to `VkPhysicalDeviceLimits`::`maxViewports`

- VUID-VkPipelineViewportStateCreateInfo-scissorCount-01219
  `scissorCount` must be less than or equal to `VkPhysicalDeviceLimits`::`maxViewports`

- VUID-VkPipelineViewportStateCreateInfo-x-02821
  The `x` and `y` members of `offset` member of any element of `pScissors` must be greater than or equal to `0`

- VUID-VkPipelineViewportStateCreateInfo-offset-02822
  Evaluation of (`offset.x` + `extent.width`) must not cause a signed integer addition overflow for any element of `pScissors`

- VUID-VkPipelineViewportStateCreateInfo-offset-02823
  Evaluation of (`offset.y` + `extent.height`) must not cause a signed integer addition overflow for any element of `pScissors`

- VUID-VkPipelineViewportStateCreateInfo-scissorCount-04134
  If `scissorCount` and `viewportCount` are both not dynamic, then `scissorCount` and `viewportCount` must be identical

- VUID-VkPipelineViewportStateCreateInfo-viewportCount-04135
  If the graphics pipeline is being created with `VK_DYNAMIC_STATE_VIEWPORT_WITH_COUNT` set then `viewportCount` must be `0`, otherwise `viewportCount` must be greater than `0`

- VUID-VkPipelineViewportStateCreateInfo-scissorCount-04136
  If the graphics pipeline is being created with `VK_DYNAMIC_STATE_SCISSOR_WITH_COUNT` set then `scissorCount` must be `0`, otherwise `scissorCount` must be greater than `0`

- VUID-VkPipelineViewportStateCreateInfo-viewportWScalingEnable-01726
  If the `viewportWScalingEnable` member of a VkPipelineViewportWScalingStateCreateInfoNV structure included in the `pNext` chain is `VK_TRUE`, the `viewportCount` member of the VkPipelineViewportWScalingStateCreateInfoNV structure must be greater than or equal to VkPipelineViewportStateCreateInfo::`viewportCount`

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkPipelineViewportStateCreateInfo-sType-sType
  `sType` must be `VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PIPELINE_VIEWPORT_STATE_CREATE_INFO`

- VUID-VkPipelineViewportStateCreateInfo-pNext-pNext
  Each `pNext` member of any structure (including this one) in the `pNext` chain must be either `NULL` or a pointer to a valid instance of VkPipelineViewportCoarseSampleOrderStateCreateInfoNV, VkPipelineViewportDepthClampControlCreateInfoEXT, VkPipelineViewportDepthClipControlCreateInfoEXT, VkPipelineViewportExclusiveScissorStateCreateInfoNV, VkPipelineViewportShadingRateImageStateCreateInfoNV, VkPipelineViewportSwizzleStateCreateInfoNV, or VkPipelineViewportWScalingStateCreateInfoNV

- VUID-VkPipelineViewportStateCreateInfo-sType-unique
  The `sType` value of each structure in the `pNext` chain must be unique

- VUID-VkPipelineViewportStateCreateInfo-flags-zerobitmask
  `flags` must be `0`
