Change log for April 29, 2016 Vulkan 1.0.12 spec update:
* Bump API patch number and header version number to 12 for this
update.
Github Issues:
* Change valid usage statements intended to be "sub-points" to
be actual sub-points (public issue 66).
* Replace double negation in description of
slink:VkRenderPassBeginInfo::pname:pClearValues (based on public
merge 142).
* Cleanup minor typos in spec, ref pages and XML, including those
proposed in public pull requests 144, 150, 151, 167, 168, 181, and
186.
* Use *strict subset* in describing the partial order of memory
property types for slink:VkMemoryType, and update the style guide
accordingly (public issue 190).
* Fix various "a image" -> "an image" typos (public issue 191).
* Note in the <<fundamentals-validusage,Valid Usage>> and
<<extensions-interactions,Extension Interactions>> sections that
structures defined by extensions which may be passed in structure
chains using the ptext:pNext member must: include initial
ptext:sType and ptext:pNext members (public issue 192).
Internal Issues:
* Remove duplicate language from the description of the pname:fence
parameter to flink:vkQueueSubmit and improve validity language
(internal issue 91).
* Added documentation for "optional" attribute to XML readme.tex/pdf
(internal issue 149).
* Clarify the host-side data validity rules and behavior of
flink:vkFlushMappedMemoryRanges and
flink:vkInvalidateMappedMemoryRanges (internal issue 266).
Other Commits:
* Added clarification to flink:vkCmdFillBuffer regarding the use of
ename:VK_WHOLE_SIZE.
* Fixed and documented implementation of "validextensionstructs"
attribute. in XML processing scripts and readme.tex/pdf.
* Add missing validity statements to flink:vkResetEvent and
flink:vkCmdResetEvent.
* Fix validity for the
ename:VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_SAMPLED_IMAGE_FILTER_LINEAR_BIT flag.
Correct all the draw/dispatch commands to mention optimally tiled
images as well as linear tiled images, and say image VIEWS instead
of images. Add validity statement to flink:vkCmdBlitImage
* Replace the {apiname} macro with hardcoded "Vulkan", now that we've
committed to that name.
* Add the VK_AMD_rasterization_order extension to vk.xml.

fname:vkCreateImageView creates a new view of a source image in a compatible format, allowing casting
|
2016-02-16 01:53:44 -08:00
|
|
|
of image data from one format to another. Image views may be bound into descriptor sets to allow them
|
|
|
|
|
to be accessed in shaders, or be bound as color attachments. pname:device specifies the device that
|
|
|
|
|
is to be used to create the new view. pname:pCreateInfo is a pointer to an instance of the
|
|
|
|
|
slink:VkImageViewCreateInfo structure defining the properties of the new view object. The definition
|
|
|
|
|
of slink:VkImageViewCreateInfo is:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
include::../structs/VkImageViewCreateInfo.txt[]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The pname:sType member of pname:pCreateInfo should be ename:VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_IMAGE_VIEW_CREATE_INFO.
|
|
|
|
|
The pname:image member contains the handle to the parent object of which to create a view. pname:viewType
|
|
|
|
|
specifies the type of view to be created and should be a member of the elink:VkImageViewType enumeration,
|
|
|
|
|
the definition of which is:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
include::../enums/VkImageViewType.txt[]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The pname:format member of pname:pCreateInfo specifies the image format for the newly created view and
|
|
|
|
|
should be compatible with the base format of the parent image specified in pname:image. The pname:components
|
|
|
|
|
member is an instance of the slink:VkComponentMapping structure which defines component ordering for data
|
|
|
|
|
read from the view. The pname:subresourceRange member of the pname:pCreateInfo specifies the
|
|
|
|
|
range of the parent resource to be visible through the new view.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The pname:flags member of pname:pCreateInfo is reserved and must be 0.
