This device extension extends slink:vkQueuePresentKHR, from the
|
||
|
|
+VK_KHR_swapchain+ extension, allowing an application to specify a list of
|
||
|
|
rectangular, modified regions of each image to present.
|
||
|
|
This should be used in situations where an application is only changing a
|
||
|
|
small portion of the presentable images within a swapchain, since it enables
|
||
|
|
the presentation engine to avoid wasting time presenting parts of the
|
||
|
|
surface that haven't changed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This extension is leveraged from the +EGL_KHR_swap_buffers_with_damage+
|
||
|
|
extension.

=== Issues
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1) How should we handle steroescopic-3D swapchains? We need to add a layer
|
||
|
|
for each rectangle.
|
||
|
|
One approach is to create another struct that contains the slink:VkRect2D
|
||
|
|
plus layer, and have slink:VkPresentRegionsKHR point to an array of that
|
||
|
|
struct.
|
||
|
|
Another approach is to have two parallel arrays, pRectangles and pLayers,
|
||
|
|
where pRectangles[i] and pLayers[i] must be used together.
|
||
|
|
Which approach should we use, and if the array of a new structure, what
|
||
|
|
should that be called?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*RESOLVED*: Create a new structure, which is a slink:VkRect2D plus a layer,
|
||
|
|
and will be called slink:VkRectLayerKHR.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2) Where is the origin of the slink:VkRectLayerKHR?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*RESOLVED*: The upper left corner of the presentable image(s) of the
|
||
|
|
swapchain, per the definition of framebuffer coordinates.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3) Does the rectangular region, slink:VkRectLayerKHR, specify pixels of the
|
||
|
|
swapchain's image(s), or of the surface?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*RESOLVED*: Of the image(s).
|
||
|
|
Some presentation engines may scale the pixels of a swapchain's image(s) to
|
||
|
|
the size of the surface.
|
||
|
|
The size of the swapchain's image(s) will be consistent, where the size of
|
||
|
|
the surface may vary over time.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
4) What if all of the rectangles for a given swapchain contain a width
|
||
|
|
and/or height of zero?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*RESOLVED*: The application is indicating that no pixels changed since the
|
||
|
|
last present.
|
||
|
|
The presentation engine may use such a hint and not update any pixels for
|
||
|
|
the swapchain.
|
||
|
|
However, all other semantics of flink:vkQueuePresentKHR must still be
|
||
|
|
honored, including waiting for semaphores to signal.
