# VkImageViewCreateFlagBits(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkImageViewCreateFlagBits - Bitmask specifying additional parameters of an image view

Loading… please wait.

## C Specification

Bits which can be set in VkImageViewCreateInfo::`flags`, specifying additional parameters of an image view, are:

    // Provided by VK_VERSION_1_0
    typedef enum VkImageViewCreateFlagBits {
      // Provided by VK_EXT_fragment_density_map
        VK_IMAGE_VIEW_CREATE_FRAGMENT_DENSITY_MAP_DYNAMIC_BIT_EXT = 0x00000001,
      // Provided by VK_EXT_descriptor_buffer
        VK_IMAGE_VIEW_CREATE_DESCRIPTOR_BUFFER_CAPTURE_REPLAY_BIT_EXT = 0x00000004,
      // Provided by VK_EXT_fragment_density_map2
        VK_IMAGE_VIEW_CREATE_FRAGMENT_DENSITY_MAP_DEFERRED_BIT_EXT = 0x00000002,
    } VkImageViewCreateFlagBits;

## Description

- `VK_IMAGE_VIEW_CREATE_FRAGMENT_DENSITY_MAP_DYNAMIC_BIT_EXT` specifies that the fragment density map will be read by device during `VK_PIPELINE_STAGE_FRAGMENT_DENSITY_PROCESS_BIT_EXT`

- `VK_IMAGE_VIEW_CREATE_FRAGMENT_DENSITY_MAP_DEFERRED_BIT_EXT` specifies that the fragment density map will be read by the host during vkEndCommandBuffer for the primary command buffer that the render pass is recorded into

- `VK_IMAGE_VIEW_CREATE_DESCRIPTOR_BUFFER_CAPTURE_REPLAY_BIT_EXT` specifies that the image view can be used with descriptor buffers when capturing and replaying (e.g. for trace capture and replay), see VkOpaqueCaptureDescriptorDataCreateInfoEXT for more detail.
