[open,refpage='VkPipelineViewportSwizzleStateCreateInfoNV',desc='Structure specifying swizzle applied to primitive clip coordinates',type='structs']
--
Each primitive sent to a given viewport has a swizzle and optional: negation
applied to its clip coordinates.
The swizzle that is applied depends on the viewport index, and is controlled
by the sname:VkPipelineViewportSwizzleStateCreateInfoNV pipeline state:
include::../api/structs/VkPipelineViewportSwizzleStateCreateInfoNV.txt[]
* pname:sType is the type of this structure.
* pname:pNext is `NULL` or a pointer to an extension-specific structure.
* pname:flags is reserved for future use.

slink:VkViewportSwizzleNV structures, defining the viewport swizzles.

pname:viewportCount must: match the pname:viewportCount set in
sname:VkPipelineViewportStateCreateInfo
****
include::../validity/structs/VkPipelineViewportSwizzleStateCreateInfoNV.txt[]
--
The sname:VkPipelineViewportSwizzleStateCreateInfoNV state is set by adding
an instance of this structure to the pname:pNext chain of an instance of the
sname:VkPipelineViewportStateCreateInfo structure and setting the graphics
pipeline state with flink:vkCreateGraphicsPipelines.
Each viewport specified from 0 to pname:viewportCount - 1 has its x,y,z,w
swizzle state set to the corresponding pname:x, pname:y, pname:z and pname:w
in the slink:VkViewportSwizzleNV structure.
Each component is of type elink:VkViewportCoordinateSwizzleNV, which
determines the type of swizzle for that component.
The value of pname:x computes the new x component of the position as:
if (x == VK_VIEWPORT_COORDINATE_SWIZZLE_POSITIVE_X_NV) x' = x; if (x ==
VK_VIEWPORT_COORDINATE_SWIZZLE_NEGATIVE_X_NV) x' = -x; if (x ==
VK_VIEWPORT_COORDINATE_SWIZZLE_POSITIVE_Y_NV) x' = y; if (x ==
VK_VIEWPORT_COORDINATE_SWIZZLE_NEGATIVE_Y_NV) x' = -y; if (x ==
VK_VIEWPORT_COORDINATE_SWIZZLE_POSITIVE_Z_NV) x' = z; if (x ==
VK_VIEWPORT_COORDINATE_SWIZZLE_NEGATIVE_Z_NV) x' = -z; if (x ==
VK_VIEWPORT_COORDINATE_SWIZZLE_POSITIVE_W_NV) x' = w; if (x ==
VK_VIEWPORT_COORDINATE_SWIZZLE_NEGATIVE_W_NV) x' = -w;
Similar selections are performed for the pname:y, pname:z, and pname:w
coordinates.
This swizzling is applied before clipping and perspective divide.
If the swizzle for an active viewport index is not specified, the swizzle
for pname:x is ename:VK_VIEWPORT_COORDINATE_SWIZZLE_POSITIVE_X_NV, pname:y
is ename:VK_VIEWPORT_COORDINATE_SWIZZLE_POSITIVE_Y_NV, pname:z is
ename:VK_VIEWPORT_COORDINATE_SWIZZLE_POSITIVE_Z_NV and pname:w is
ename:VK_VIEWPORT_COORDINATE_SWIZZLE_POSITIVE_W_NV.
Viewport swizzle parameters are specified by setting the pname:pNext pointer
of sname:VkGraphicsPipelineCreateInfo to point to an instance of
sname:VkPipelineViewportSwizzleStateCreateInfoNV.
slink:VkPipelineViewportSwizzleStateCreateInfoNV uses
sname:VkViewportSwizzleNV to set the viewport swizzle parameters.

== Flat Shading
_Flat shading_ a vertex output attribute means to assign all vertices of the
primitive the same value for that output.
The output values assigned are those of the _provoking vertex_ of the
primitive.
The provoking vertex depends on the primitive topology, and is generally the
"`first`" vertex of the primitive.
For primitives not processed by tessellation or geometry shaders, the
provoking vertex is selected from the input vertices according to the
following table.
<<<

.Caption
****
The <<provoking-vertex-selection,Provoking vertex selection>> table defines
the output values used for flat shading the i^th^ primitive generated by
drawing commands with the indicated primitive type, derived from the
corresponding values of the vertex whose index is shown in the table.
Primitives and vertices are numbered starting from zero.
****
Flat shading is applied to those vertex attributes that
<<interfaces-iointerfaces-matching,match>> fragment input attributes which
are decorated as code:Flat.
If a geometry shader is active, the output primitive topology is either
points, line strips, or triangle strips, and the selection of the provoking
vertex behaves according to the corresponding row of the table.
If a tessellation evaluation shader is active and a geometry shader is not
active, the provoking vertex is undefined but must: be one of the vertices
of the primitive.
[[vertexpostproc-clipping]]
== Primitive Clipping
Primitives are culled against the _cull volume_ and then clipped to the
_clip volume_.
In clip coordinates, the _view volume_ is defined by:
[latexmath]
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
\begin{array}{c}
-w_c \leq x_c \leq w_c \\
-w_c \leq y_c \leq w_c \\
0 \leq z_c \leq w_c
\end{array}
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
This view volume can: be further restricted by as many as
sname:VkPhysicalDeviceLimits::pname:maxClipDistances client-defined
half-spaces.
The cull volume is the intersection of up to
sname:VkPhysicalDeviceLimits::pname:maxCullDistances client-defined
half-spaces (if no client-defined cull half-spaces are enabled, culling
against the cull volume is skipped).
A shader must: write a single cull distance for each enabled cull half-space
to elements of the code:CullDistance array.
If the cull distance for any enabled cull half-space is negative for all of
the vertices of the primitive under consideration, the primitive is
discarded.
Otherwise the primitive is clipped against the clip volume as defined below.
The clip volume is the intersection of up to
sname:VkPhysicalDeviceLimits::pname:maxClipDistances client-defined
half-spaces with the view volume (if no client-defined clip half-spaces are
enabled, the clip volume is the view volume).
A shader must: write a single clip distance for each enabled clip half-space
to elements of the code:ClipDistance array.
Clip half-space [eq]#i# is then given by the set of points satisfying the
inequality
:: [eq]#c~i~(**P**) {geq} 0#
where [eq]#c~i~(**P**)# is the clip distance [eq]#i# at point [eq]#**P**#.
For point primitives, [eq]#c~i~(**P**)# is simply the clip distance for the
vertex in question.
For line and triangle primitives, per-vertex clip distances are interpolated
using a weighted mean, with weights derived according to the algorithms
described in sections <<primsrast-lines-basic,Basic Line Segment
Rasterization>> and <<primsrast-polygons-basic,Basic Polygon
Rasterization>>, using the perspective interpolation equations.
The number of client-defined clip and cull half-spaces that are enabled is
determined by the explicit size of the built-in arrays code:ClipDistance and
code:CullDistance, respectively, declared as an output in the interface of
the entry point of the final shader stage before clipping.
Depth clamping is enabled or disabled via the pname:depthClampEnable enable
of the sname:VkPipelineRasterizationStateCreateInfo structure.
If depth clamping is enabled, the plane equation
:: [eq]#0 {leq} z~c~ {leq} w~c~#
(see the clip volume definition above) is ignored by view volume clipping
(effectively, there is no near or far plane clipping).
If the primitive under consideration is a point or line segment, then
clipping passes it unchanged if its vertices lie entirely within the clip
volume.
ifndef::VK_KHR_maintenance2[]
If a point's vertex lies outside of the clip volume, the entire primitive
may: be discarded.
endif::VK_KHR_maintenance2[]
ifdef::VK_KHR_maintenance2[]
[open,refpage='VkPointClippingBehaviorKHR',desc='Enum specifying the point clipping behaviour',type='enums']
--
Possible values of
slink:VkPhysicalDevicePointClippingPropertiesKHR::pname:pointClippingBehavior,
specifying clipping behavior of a point primitive whose vertex lies outside
the clip volume, are:
include::../api/enums/VkPointClippingBehaviorKHR.txt[]
* ename:VK_POINT_CLIPPING_BEHAVIOR_ALL_CLIP_PLANES_KHR specifies that the
primitive is discarded if the vertex lies outside any clip plane,
including the planes bounding the view volume.
* ename:VK_POINT_CLIPPING_BEHAVIOR_USER_CLIP_PLANES_ONLY_KHR specifies that
the primitive is discarded only if the vertex lies outside any user clip
plane.
--
endif::VK_KHR_maintenance2[]
If either of a line segment's vertices lie outside of the clip volume, the
line segment may: be clipped, with new vertex coordinates computed for each
vertex that lies outside the clip volume.
A clipped line segment endpoint lies on both the original line segment and
the boundary of the clip volume.
This clipping produces a value, [eq]#0 {leq} t {leq} 1#, for each clipped
vertex.
If the coordinates of a clipped vertex are [eq]#**P**# and the original
vertices' coordinates are [eq]#**P**~1~# and [eq]#**P**~2~#, then [eq]#t# is
given by
:: [eq]#**P** = t **P**~1~ {plus} (1-t) **P**~2~#.
ifdef::editing-notes[]
[NOTE]
.editing-note
====
This is weird - it gives **P**, not t.
====
endif::editing-notes[]
[eq]#t# is used to clip vertex output attributes as described in
<<vertexpostproc-clipping-shader-outputs,Clipping Shader Outputs>>.
If the primitive is a polygon, it passes unchanged if every one of its edges
lie entirely inside the clip volume, and it is discarded if every one of its
edges lie entirely outside the clip volume.
If the edges of the polygon intersect the boundary of the clip volume, the
intersecting edges are reconnected by new edges that lie along the boundary
of the clip volume - in some cases requiring the introduction of new
vertices into a polygon.
If a polygon intersects an edge of the clip volume's boundary, the clipped
polygon must: include a point on this boundary edge.
Primitives rendered with user-defined half-spaces must: satisfy a
complementarity criterion.
Suppose a series of primitives is drawn where each vertex [eq]#i# has a
single specified clip distance [eq]#d~i~# (or a number of similarly
specified clip distances, if multiple half-spaces are enabled).
Next, suppose that the same series of primitives are drawn again with each
such clip distance replaced by [eq]#-d~i~# (and the graphics pipeline is
otherwise the same).
In this case, primitives must: not be missing any pixels, and pixels must:
not be drawn twice in regions where those primitives are cut by the clip
planes.
[[vertexpostproc-clipping-shader-outputs]]
== Clipping Shader Outputs
Next, vertex output attributes are clipped.
The output values associated with a vertex that lies within the clip volume
are unaffected by clipping.
If a primitive is clipped, however, the output values assigned to vertices
produced by clipping are clipped.
Let the output values assigned to the two vertices [eq]#**P**~1~# and
[eq]#**P**~2~# of an unclipped edge be [eq]#**c**~1~# and [eq]#**c**~2~#.
The value of [eq]#t# (see <<vertexpostproc-clipping,Primitive Clipping>>)
for a clipped point [eq]#**P**# is used to obtain the output value
associated with [eq]#**P**# as
:: [eq]#**c** = t **c**~1~ {plus} (1-t) **c**~2~#.
(Multiplying an output value by a scalar means multiplying each of _x_, _y_,
_z_, and _w_ by the scalar.)
Since this computation is performed in clip space before division by
[eq]#w~c~#, clipped output values are perspective-correct.
Polygon clipping creates a clipped vertex along an edge of the clip volume's
boundary.
This situation is handled by noting that polygon clipping proceeds by
clipping against one half-space at a time.
Output value clipping is done in the same way, so that clipped points always
occur at the intersection of polygon edges (possibly already clipped) with
the clip volume's boundary.
For vertex output attributes whose matching fragment input attributes are
decorated with code:NoPerspective, the value of [eq]#t# used to obtain the
output value associated with [eq]#**P**# will be adjusted to produce results
that vary linearly in framebuffer space.
Output attributes of integer or unsigned integer type must: always be flat
shaded.
Flat shaded attributes are constant over the primitive being rasterized (see
<<primsrast-lines-basic,Basic Line Segment Rasterization>> and
<<primsrast-polygons-basic,Basic Polygon Rasterization>>), and no
interpolation is performed.
The output value [eq]#**c**# is taken from either [eq]#**c**~1~# or
[eq]#**c**~2~#, since flat shading has already occurred and the two values
are identical.

[[vertexpostproc-coord-transform]]
== Coordinate Transformations
_Clip coordinates_ for a vertex result from shader execution, which yields a
vertex coordinate code:Position.
Perspective division on clip coordinates yields _normalized device
coordinates_, followed by a _viewport_ transformation (see
<<vertexpostproc-viewport,Controlling the Viewport>>) to convert these
coordinates into _framebuffer coordinates_.
If a vertex in clip coordinates has a position given by
[latexmath]
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
\left(\begin{array}{c}
x_c \\
y_c \\
z_c \\

\frac{y_c}{w_c} \\
\frac{z_c}{w_c}
\end{array}
\right)
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
[[vertexpostproc-viewport]]
== Controlling the Viewport
The viewport transformation is determined by the selected viewport's width
and height in pixels, [eq]#p~x~# and [eq]#p~y~#, respectively, and its
center [eq]#(o~x~, o~y~)# (also in pixels), as well as its depth range min
and max determining a depth range scale value [eq]#p~z~# and a depth range
bias value [eq]#o~z~# (defined below).
The vertex's framebuffer coordinates [eq]#(x~f~, y~f~, z~f~)# are given by
:: [eq]#x~f~ = (p~x~ / 2) x~d~ {plus} o~x~#
:: [eq]#y~f~ = (p~y~ / 2) y~d~ {plus} o~y~#
:: [eq]#z~f~ = p~z~ {times} z~d~ {plus} o~z~#
Multiple viewports are available, numbered zero up to
sname:VkPhysicalDeviceLimits::pname:maxViewports minus one.
The number of viewports used by a pipeline is controlled by the
pname:viewportCount member of the sname:VkPipelineViewportStateCreateInfo
structure used in pipeline creation.
