== Presenting Directly to Display Devices
In some environments applications can: also present Vulkan rendering
directly to display devices without using an intermediate windowing system.
This can: be useful for embedded applications, or implementing the
rendering/presentation backend of a windowing system using Vulkan.
The `VK_KHR_display` extension provides the functionality necessary to
enumerate display devices and create sname:VkSurfaceKHR objects that target
displays.
=== Display Enumeration
[open,refpage='VkDisplayKHR',desc='Opaque handle to a display object',type='handles']
--
Displays are represented by sname:VkDisplayKHR handles:
include::{generated}/api/handles/VkDisplayKHR.txt[]
--
[open,refpage='vkGetPhysicalDeviceDisplayPropertiesKHR',desc='Query information about the available displays',type='protos']
--
Various functions are provided for enumerating the available display devices
present on a Vulkan physical device.
To query information about the available displays, call:
include::{generated}/api/protos/vkGetPhysicalDeviceDisplayPropertiesKHR.txt[]
* pname:physicalDevice is a physical device.
* pname:pPropertyCount is a pointer to an integer related to the number of
display devices available or queried, as described below.
* pname:pProperties is either `NULL` or a pointer to an array of
sname:VkDisplayPropertiesKHR structures.
If pname:pProperties is `NULL`, then the number of display devices available
for pname:physicalDevice is returned in pname:pPropertyCount.
Otherwise, pname:pPropertyCount must: point to a variable set by the user to
the number of elements in the pname:pProperties array, and on return the
variable is overwritten with the number of structures actually written to
pname:pProperties.
If the value of pname:pPropertyCount is less than the number of display
devices for pname:physicalDevice, at most pname:pPropertyCount structures
will be written.
If pname:pPropertyCount is smaller than the number of display devices
available for pname:physicalDevice, ename:VK_INCOMPLETE will be returned
instead of ename:VK_SUCCESS to indicate that not all the available values
were returned.

The sname:VkDisplayPropertiesKHR structure is defined as:
include::{generated}/api/structs/VkDisplayPropertiesKHR.txt[]
* pname:display is a handle that is used to refer to the display described
here.
This handle will be valid for the lifetime of the Vulkan instance.
* pname:displayName is a pointer to a NULL-terminated string containing
the name of the display.
Generally, this will be the name provided by the display's EDID.
It can: be `NULL` if no suitable name is available.
If not `NULL`, the memory it points to must: remain accessible as long
as pname:display is valid.
* pname:physicalDimensions describes the physical width and height of the
visible portion of the display, in millimeters.
* pname:physicalResolution describes the physical, native, or preferred
resolution of the display.
[NOTE]
.Note
====
For devices which have no natural value to return here, implementations
should: return the maximum resolution supported.
====
* pname:supportedTransforms is a bitmask of
elink:VkSurfaceTransformFlagBitsKHR describing which transforms are
supported by this display.
* pname:planeReorderPossible tells whether the planes on this display can:
have their z order changed.
If this is ename:VK_TRUE, the application can: re-arrange the planes on
this display in any order relative to each other.
* pname:persistentContent tells whether the display supports
self-refresh/internal buffering.
If this is true, the application can: submit persistent present
operations on swapchains created against this display.
[NOTE]
.Note
====
Persistent presents may: have higher latency, and may: use less power when
the screen content is updated infrequently, or when only a portion of the
screen needs to be updated in most frames.

[open,refpage='vkGetPhysicalDeviceDisplayPlanePropertiesKHR',desc='Query the plane properties',type='protos']

Images are presented to individual planes on a display.
Devices must: support at least one plane on each display.

display.

planes and displays, or they may: allow arbitrary application specified
stacking orders and mappings between planes and displays.

[open,refpage='vkGetDisplayPlaneCapabilitiesKHR',desc='Query capabilities of a mode and plane combination',type='protos']
--
Applications that wish to present directly to a display must: select which
layer, or "`plane`" of the display they wish to target, and a mode to use
with the display.
Each display supports at least one plane.
The capabilities of a given mode and plane combination are determined by
calling:
include::{generated}/api/protos/vkGetDisplayPlaneCapabilitiesKHR.txt[]
* pname:physicalDevice is the physical device associated with
pname:display
* pname:mode is the display mode the application intends to program when
using the specified plane.
Note this parameter also implicitly specifies a display.
* pname:planeIndex is the plane which the application intends to use with
the display, and is less than the number of display planes supported by
the device.
* pname:pCapabilities is a pointer to a
slink:VkDisplayPlaneCapabilitiesKHR structure in which the capabilities
are returned.

include::{generated}/api/structs/VkDisplayPlaneCapabilitiesKHR.txt[]
* pname:supportedAlpha is a bitmask of
elink:VkDisplayPlaneAlphaFlagBitsKHR describing the supported alpha
blending modes.
* pname:minSrcPosition is the minimum source rectangle offset supported by
this plane using the specified mode.
* pname:maxSrcPosition is the maximum source rectangle offset supported by
this plane using the specified mode.
The pname:x and pname:y components of pname:maxSrcPosition must: each be
greater than or equal to the pname:x and pname:y components of
pname:minSrcPosition, respectively.
* pname:minSrcExtent is the minimum source rectangle size supported by
this plane using the specified mode.
* pname:maxSrcExtent is the maximum source rectangle size supported by
this plane using the specified mode.
* pname:minDstPosition, pname:maxDstPosition, pname:minDstExtent,
pname:maxDstExtent all have similar semantics to their corresponding
ptext:*Src* equivalents, but apply to the output region within the mode
rather than the input region within the source image.
Unlike the ptext:*Src* offsets, pname:minDstPosition and
pname:maxDstPosition may: contain negative values.
The minimum and maximum position and extent fields describe the
implementation limits, if any, as they apply to the specified display mode
and plane.
Vendors may: support displaying a subset of a swapchain's presentable images
on the specified display plane.
This is expressed by returning pname:minSrcPosition, pname:maxSrcPosition,
pname:minSrcExtent, and pname:maxSrcExtent values that indicate a range of
possible positions and sizes may: be used to specify the region within the
presentable images that source pixels will be read from when creating a
swapchain on the specified display mode and plane.
Vendors may: also support mapping the presentable images`' content to a
subset or superset of the visible region in the specified display mode.
This is expressed by returning pname:minDstPosition, pname:maxDstPosition,
pname:minDstExtent and pname:maxDstExtent values that indicate a range of
possible positions and sizes may: be used to describe the region within the
display mode that the source pixels will be mapped to.
Other vendors may: support only a 1-1 mapping between pixels in the
presentable images and the display mode.
This may: be indicated by returning [eq]#(0,0)# for pname:minSrcPosition,
pname:maxSrcPosition, pname:minDstPosition, and pname:maxDstPosition, and
(display mode width, display mode height) for pname:minSrcExtent,
pname:maxSrcExtent, pname:minDstExtent, and pname:maxDstExtent.
These values indicate the limits of the implementation's individual fields.
Not all combinations of values within the offset and extent ranges returned
in sname:VkDisplayPlaneCapabilitiesKHR are guaranteed to be supported.
Vendors may: still fail presentation requests that specify unsupported
combinations.
