= Window System Integration (WSI)
This chapter discusses the window system integration (WSI) between the
Vulkan API and the various forms of displaying the results of rendering to a
user.
Since the Vulkan API can: be used without displaying results, WSI is
provided through the use of optional Vulkan extensions.
This chapter provides an overview of WSI.
See the appendix for additional details of each WSI extension, including
which extensions must: be enabled in order to use each of the functions
described in this chapter.
== WSI Platform
A platform is an abstraction for a window system, OS, etc.
Some examples include MS Windows, Android, and Wayland.
The Vulkan API may: be integrated in a unique manner for each platform.
The Vulkan API does not define any type of platform object.
Platform-specific WSI extensions are defined, which contain
platform-specific functions for using WSI.
Use of these extensions is guarded by preprocessor symbols as defined in the
<<boilerplate-wsi-header,Window System-Specific Header Control>> appendix.
In order for an application to be compiled to use WSI with a given platform,
it must either:
* #define the appropriate preprocessor symbol prior to including the
`vulkan.h` header file, or
* include `vulkan_core.h` and any native platform headers, followed by the
appropriate platform-specific header.
The preprocessor symbols and platform-specific headers are defined in the
<<boilerplate-wsi-header-table, Window System Extensions and Headers>>
table.
Each platform-specific extension is an instance extension.
The application must: enable instance extensions with fname:vkCreateInstance
before using them.
== WSI Surface
[open,refpage='VkSurfaceKHR',desc='Opaque handle to a surface object',type='handles']
--
Native platform surface or window objects are abstracted by surface objects,
which are represented by sname:VkSurfaceKHR handles:
include::{generated}/api/handles/VkSurfaceKHR.txt[]
The `VK_KHR_surface` extension declares the sname:VkSurfaceKHR object, and
provides a function for destroying sname:VkSurfaceKHR objects.
Separate platform-specific extensions each provide a function for creating a
sname:VkSurfaceKHR object for the respective platform.
From the application's perspective this is an opaque handle, just like the
handles of other Vulkan objects.
ifdef::implementation-guide[]
[NOTE]
.Note
====
On certain platforms, the Vulkan loader and ICDs may: have conventions that
treat the handle as a pointer to a struct that contains the
platform-specific information about the surface.
This will be described in the documentation for the loader-ICD interface,
and in the `vk_icd.h` header file of the LoaderAndTools source-code
repository.
This does not affect the loader-layer interface; layers may: wrap
sname:VkSurfaceKHR objects.

However, the information is not relevant to users of the API nor does it

=== Platform-Independent Information
Once created, sname:VkSurfaceKHR objects can: be used in this and other
extensions, in particular the `<<VK_KHR_swapchain>>` extension.
Several WSI functions return ename:VK_ERROR_SURFACE_LOST_KHR if the surface
becomes no longer available.
After such an error, the surface (and any child swapchain, if one exists)
should: be destroyed, as there is no way to restore them to a not-lost
state.
Applications may: attempt to create a new sname:VkSurfaceKHR using the same
native platform window object, but whether such re-creation will succeed is
platform-dependent and may: depend on the reason the surface became
unavailable.
A lost surface does not otherwise cause devices to be
<<devsandqueues-lost-device,lost>>.
[open,refpage='vkDestroySurfaceKHR',desc='Destroy a VkSurfaceKHR object',type='protos']
--
To destroy a sname:VkSurfaceKHR object, call:
include::{generated}/api/protos/vkDestroySurfaceKHR.txt[]
* pname:instance is the instance used to create the surface.
* pname:surface is the surface to destroy.
* pname:pAllocator is the allocator used for host memory allocated for the
surface object when there is no more specific allocator available (see
<<memory-allocation,Memory Allocation>>).
Destroying a sname:VkSurfaceKHR merely severs the connection between Vulkan
and the native surface, and does not imply destroying the native surface,
closing a window, or similar behavior.

== Querying for WSI Support
Not all physical devices will include WSI support.
Within a physical device, not all queue families will support presentation.
WSI support and compatibility can: be determined in a platform-neutral
manner (which determines support for presentation to a particular surface
object) and additionally may: be determined in platform-specific manners
(which determine support for presentation on the specified physical device
but do not guarantee support for presentation to a particular surface
object).

To determine whether a queue family of a physical device supports
presentation to a given surface, call:

== Surface Queries
The capabilities of a swapchain targeting a surface are the intersection of
the capabilities of the WSI platform, the native window or display, and the
physical device.
The resulting capabilities can be obtained with the queries listed below in
this section.
Capabilities that correspond to image creation parameters are not
independent of each other: combinations of parameters that are not supported
as reported by flink:vkGetPhysicalDeviceImageFormatProperties are not
supported by the surface on that physical device, even if the capabilities
taken individually are supported as part of some other parameter
combinations.

supports for a swapchain created for the surface, and will be at least
one.
* pname:maxImageCount is the maximum number of images the specified device
supports for a swapchain created for the surface, and will be either 0,
or greater than or equal to pname:minImageCount.

the special value [eq]#(0xFFFFFFFF, 0xFFFFFFFF)# indicating that the
surface size will be determined by the extent of a swapchain targeting
the surface.
* pname:minImageExtent contains the smallest valid swapchain extent for
the surface on the specified device.
The pname:width and pname:height of the extent will each be less than or
equal to the corresponding pname:width and pname:height of
pname:currentExtent, unless pname:currentExtent has the special value
described above.

Opaque composition can: be achieved in any alpha compositing mode by
either using an image format that has no alpha component, or by ensuring
that all pixels in the presentable images have an alpha value of 1.0.

These values are described as follows:
* ename:VK_COMPOSITE_ALPHA_OPAQUE_BIT_KHR: The alpha channel, if it
exists, of the images is ignored in the compositing process.
Instead, the image is treated as if it has a constant alpha of 1.0.
* ename:VK_COMPOSITE_ALPHA_PRE_MULTIPLIED_BIT_KHR: The alpha channel, if
it exists, of the images is respected in the compositing process.
The non-alpha channels of the image are expected to already be
multiplied by the alpha channel by the application.
* ename:VK_COMPOSITE_ALPHA_POST_MULTIPLIED_BIT_KHR: The alpha channel, if
it exists, of the images is respected in the compositing process.
The non-alpha channels of the image are not expected to already be
multiplied by the alpha channel by the application; instead, the
compositor will multiply the non-alpha channels of the image by the
alpha channel during compositing.
* ename:VK_COMPOSITE_ALPHA_INHERIT_BIT_KHR: The way in which the
presentation engine treats the alpha channel in the images is unknown to
the Vulkan API.
Instead, the application is responsible for setting the composite alpha
blending mode using native window system commands.
If the application does not set the blending mode using native window
system commands, then a platform-specific default will be used.

If a device group only includes a single physical device, then pname:modes
must: equal ename:VK_DEVICE_GROUP_PRESENT_MODE_LOCAL_BIT_KHR.

Bits which may: be set in
slink:VkDeviceGroupPresentCapabilitiesKHR::pname:modes to indicate which
device group presentation modes are supported are:
include::{generated}/api/enums/VkDeviceGroupPresentModeFlagBitsKHR.txt[]
* ename:VK_DEVICE_GROUP_PRESENT_MODE_LOCAL_BIT_KHR specifies that any
physical device with a presentation engine can: present its own
swapchain images.
* ename:VK_DEVICE_GROUP_PRESENT_MODE_REMOTE_BIT_KHR specifies that any
physical device with a presentation engine can: present swapchain images
from any physical device in its pname:presentMask.
* ename:VK_DEVICE_GROUP_PRESENT_MODE_SUM_BIT_KHR specifies that any
physical device with a presentation engine can: present the sum of
swapchain images from any physical devices in its pname:presentMask.
* ename:VK_DEVICE_GROUP_PRESENT_MODE_LOCAL_MULTI_DEVICE_BIT_KHR specifies
that multiple physical devices with a presentation engine can: each
present their own swapchain images.

Some surfaces may: not be capable of using all the device group present
modes.
To query the supported device group present modes for a particular surface,
call:
include::{generated}/api/protos/vkGetDeviceGroupSurfacePresentModesKHR.txt[]
* pname:device is the logical device.
* pname:surface is the surface.
* pname:pModes is a pointer to a value of type
tlink:VkDeviceGroupPresentModeFlagsKHR that is filled with the supported
device group present modes for the surface.
The modes returned by this command are not invariant, and may: change in
response to the surface being moved, resized, or occluded.
These modes must: be a subset of the modes returned by
flink:vkGetDeviceGroupPresentCapabilitiesKHR.

[open,refpage='vkGetDeviceGroupSurfacePresentModes2EXT',desc='Query device group present capabilities for a surface',type='protos']

Alternatively, to query the supported device group presentation modes for a
surface combined with select other fixed swapchain creation parameters,
call:
include::{generated}/api/protos/vkGetDeviceGroupSurfacePresentModes2EXT.txt[]
* pname:device is the logical device.
* pname:pSurfaceInfo points to an instance of the
VkPhysicalDeviceSurfaceInfo2KHR structure, describing the surface and
other fixed parameters that would be consumed by vkCreateSwapchainKHR.
* pname:pModes is a pointer to a value of type
tlink:VkDeviceGroupPresentModeFlagsKHR that is filled with the supported
device group present modes for the surface.
fname:vkGetDeviceGroupSurfacePresentModes2EXT behaves similarly to
flink:vkGetDeviceGroupSurfacePresentModesKHR, with the ability to specify
extended inputs via chained input structures.

[open,refpage='vkGetPhysicalDevicePresentRectanglesKHR',desc='Query present rectangles for a surface on a physical device',type='protos']

When using ename:VK_DEVICE_GROUP_PRESENT_MODE_LOCAL_MULTI_DEVICE_BIT_KHR,
the application may: need to know which regions of the surface are used when
presenting locally on each physical device.
Presentation of swapchain images to this surface need only have valid
contents in the regions returned by this command.
To query a set of rectangles used in presentation on the physical device,
call:
include::{generated}/api/protos/vkGetPhysicalDevicePresentRectanglesKHR.txt[]
* pname:physicalDevice is the physical device.
* pname:surface is the surface.
* pname:pRectCount is a pointer to an integer related to the number of
rectangles available or queried, as described below.
* pname:pRects is either `NULL` or a pointer to an array of slink:VkRect2D
structures.
If pname:pRects is `NULL`, then the number of rectangles used when
presenting the given pname:surface is returned in pname:pRectCount.
Otherwise, pname:pRectCount must: point to a variable set by the user to the
number of elements in the pname:pRects array, and on return the variable is
overwritten with the number of structures actually written to pname:pRects.
If the value of pname:pRectCount is less than the number of rectangles, at
most pname:pRectCount structures will be written.
If pname:pRectCount is smaller than the number of rectangles used for the
given pname:surface, ename:VK_INCOMPLETE will be returned instead of
ename:VK_SUCCESS to indicate that not all the available values were
returned.
The values returned by this command are not invariant, and may: change in
response to the surface being moved, resized, or occluded.
The rectangles returned by this command must: not overlap.
