# VkPipelineViewportExclusiveScissorStateCreateInfoNV(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkPipelineViewportExclusiveScissorStateCreateInfoNV - Structure specifying parameters controlling exclusive scissor testing

Loading… please wait.

## C Specification

The `VkPipelineViewportExclusiveScissorStateCreateInfoNV` structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_NV_scissor_exclusive
    typedef struct VkPipelineViewportExclusiveScissorStateCreateInfoNV {
        VkStructureType    sType;
        const void*        pNext;
        uint32_t           exclusiveScissorCount;
        const VkRect2D*    pExclusiveScissors;
    } VkPipelineViewportExclusiveScissorStateCreateInfoNV;

## Members

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

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

- `exclusiveScissorCount` is the number of exclusive scissor rectangles.

- `pExclusiveScissors` is a pointer to an array of VkRect2D structures defining exclusive scissor rectangles.

## Description

If the `VK_DYNAMIC_STATE_EXCLUSIVE_SCISSOR_NV` dynamic state is enabled for a pipeline, the `pExclusiveScissors` member is ignored.

When this structure is included in the `pNext` chain of VkGraphicsPipelineCreateInfo, it defines parameters of the exclusive scissor test. If this structure is not included in the `pNext` chain, it is equivalent to specifying this structure with an `exclusiveScissorCount` of `0`.

Valid Usage

- VUID-VkPipelineViewportExclusiveScissorStateCreateInfoNV-exclusiveScissorCount-02027
  If the `multiViewport` feature is not enabled, `exclusiveScissorCount` must be `0` or `1`

- VUID-VkPipelineViewportExclusiveScissorStateCreateInfoNV-exclusiveScissorCount-02028
  `exclusiveScissorCount` must be less than or equal to `VkPhysicalDeviceLimits`::`maxViewports`

- VUID-VkPipelineViewportExclusiveScissorStateCreateInfoNV-exclusiveScissorCount-02029
  `exclusiveScissorCount` must be `0` or greater than or equal to the `viewportCount` member of VkPipelineViewportStateCreateInfo

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkPipelineViewportExclusiveScissorStateCreateInfoNV-sType-sType
  `sType` must be `VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PIPELINE_VIEWPORT_EXCLUSIVE_SCISSOR_STATE_CREATE_INFO_NV`
