= 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::../../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.

=== 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::../../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.
.Valid Usage
****
* [[VUID-vkDestroySurfaceKHR-surface-01266]]
All sname:VkSwapchainKHR objects created for pname:surface must: have
been destroyed prior to destroying pname:surface

created, a compatible set of callbacks must: be provided here
* [[VUID-vkDestroySurfaceKHR-surface-01268]]

== 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).
[open,refpage='vkGetPhysicalDeviceSurfaceSupportKHR',desc='Query if presentation is supported',type='protos']
--
To determine whether a queue family of a physical device supports
presentation to a given surface, call:
include::../../api/protos/vkGetPhysicalDeviceSurfaceSupportKHR.txt[]
* pname:physicalDevice is the physical device.
* pname:queueFamilyIndex is the queue family.
* pname:surface is the surface.
* pname:pSupported is a pointer to a basetype:VkBool32, which is set to
ename:VK_TRUE to indicate support, and ename:VK_FALSE otherwise.
.Valid Usage
****
* [[VUID-vkGetPhysicalDeviceSurfaceSupportKHR-queueFamilyIndex-01269]]
pname:queueFamilyIndex must: be less than
pname:pQueueFamilyPropertyCount returned by

== Surface Queries
The capabilities of a swapchain targetting 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.

slink:VkSurfaceCapabilitiesKHR structure in which the capabilities are
returned.

the special value [eq]#(0xFFFFFFFF, 0xFFFFFFFF)# indicating that the
surface size will be determined by the extent of a swapchain targeting
the surface.

* ename:VK_COLOR_SPACE_PASS_THROUGH_EXT indicates that color components
are used "`as is`".
This is intended to allow applications to supply data for color spaces
not described here.
The color components of Non-linear color space swap chain images have had
the appropriate transfer function applied.
Vulkan requires that all implementations support the sRGB transfer function
when using an SRGB pixel format.
Other transfer functions, such as SMPTE 170M or SMPTE2084, must: not be
performed by the implementation, but can: be performed by the application
shader.
This extension defines enums for elink:VkColorSpaceKHR that correspond to
the following color spaces:

An implementation supporting this extension indicates support for these
color spaces via slink:VkSurfaceFormatKHR structures returned from
flink:vkGetPhysicalDeviceSurfaceFormatsKHR.
Specifying the supported surface color space when calling
flink:vkCreateSwapchainKHR will create a swapchain using that color space.
Vulkan requires that all implementations support the sRGB Opto-Electrical
Transfer Function (OETF) and Electro-optical transfer function (EOTF) when
using an SRGB pixel format.
Other transfer functions, such as SMPTE 170M, must: not be performed by the
implementation, but can: be performed by the application shader.

is a UNORM (or SRGB) format and the corresponding SRGB (or UNORM) format is
a color renderable format for ename:VK_IMAGE_TILING_OPTIMAL, then
pname:pSurfaceFormats must: also contain an entry with the same value for
pname:colorSpace and pname:format equal to the corresponding SRGB (or UNORM)

In the initial release of the `VK_KHR_surface` and `<<VK_KHR_swapchain>>`
extensions, the token ename:VK_COLORSPACE_SRGB_NONLINEAR_KHR was used.
Starting in the 2016-05-13 updates to the extension branches, matching
release 1.0.13 of the core API specification,
ename:VK_COLOR_SPACE_SRGB_NONLINEAR_KHR is used instead for consistency with
Vulkan naming rules.

* pname:physicalDevice is the physical device that will be associated with
the swapchain to be created, as described for
flink:vkCreateSwapchainKHR.
* pname:surface is the surface that will be associated with the swapchain.
* pname:pPresentModeCount is a pointer to an integer related to the number
of presentation modes available or queried, as described below.
* pname:pPresentModes is either `NULL` or a pointer to an array of
elink:VkPresentModeKHR values, indicating the supported presentation
modes.
If pname:pPresentModes is `NULL`, then the number of presentation modes
supported for the given pname:surface is returned in
pname:pPresentModeCount.
Otherwise, pname:pPresentModeCount must: point to a variable set by the user
to the number of elements in the pname:pPresentModes array, and on return
the variable is overwritten with the number of values actually written to
pname:pPresentModes.
If the value of pname:pPresentModeCount is less than the number of
presentation modes supported, at most pname:pPresentModeCount values will be
written.
If pname:pPresentModeCount is smaller than the number of presentation modes
supported for the given pname:surface, ename:VK_INCOMPLETE will be returned

include::../../api/enums/VkPresentModeKHR.txt[]
* ename:VK_PRESENT_MODE_IMMEDIATE_KHR indicates that the presentation
engine does not wait for a vertical blanking period to update the
current image, meaning this mode may: result in visible tearing.
No internal queuing of presentation requests is needed, as the requests
are applied immediately.
* ename:VK_PRESENT_MODE_MAILBOX_KHR indicates that the presentation engine
waits for the next vertical blanking period to update the current image.
Tearing cannot: be observed.
An internal single-entry queue is used to hold pending presentation
requests.
If the queue is full when a new presentation request is received, the
new request replaces the existing entry, and any images associated with
the prior entry become available for re-use by the application.
One request is removed from the queue and processed during each vertical
blanking period in which the queue is non-empty.
* ename:VK_PRESENT_MODE_FIFO_KHR indicates that the presentation engine
waits for the next vertical blanking period to update the current image.
Tearing cannot: be observed.
An internal queue is used to hold pending presentation requests.
New requests are appended to the end of the queue, and one request is
removed from the beginning of the queue and processed during each
vertical blanking period in which the queue is non-empty.
This is the only value of pname:presentMode that is required: to be
supported.
* ename:VK_PRESENT_MODE_FIFO_RELAXED_KHR indicates that the presentation
engine generally waits for the next vertical blanking period to update
the current image.
If a vertical blanking period has already passed since the last update
of the current image then the presentation engine does not wait for
another vertical blanking period for the update, meaning this mode may:
result in visible tearing in this case.
This mode is useful for reducing visual stutter with an application that
will mostly present a new image before the next vertical blanking
period, but may occasionally be late, and present a new image just after
the next vertical blanking period.
An internal queue is used to hold pending presentation requests.
New requests are appended to the end of the queue, and one request is
removed from the beginning of the queue and processed during or after
each vertical blanking period in which the queue is non-empty.

* ename:VK_PRESENT_MODE_SHARED_DEMAND_REFRESH_KHR indicates that the
presentation engine and application have concurrent access to a single
image, which is referred to as a _shared presentable image_.
The presentation engine is only required to update the current image
after a new presentation request is received.
Therefore the application must: make a presentation request whenever an
update is required.
However, the presentation engine may: update the current image at any
point, meaning this mode may: result in visible tearing.
* ename:VK_PRESENT_MODE_SHARED_CONTINUOUS_REFRESH_KHR indicates that the
presentation engine and application have concurrent access to a single
image, which is referred to as a _shared presentable image_.
The presentation engine periodically updates the current image on its
regular refresh cycle.
The application is only required to make one initial presentation
request, after which the presentation engine must: update the current
image without any need for further presentation requests.
The application can: indicate the image contents have been updated by
making a presentation request, but this does not guarantee the timing of
when it will be updated.
This mode may: result in visible tearing if rendering to the image is
not timed correctly.
The supported elink:VkImageUsageFlagBits of the presentable images of a
swapchain created for a surface may: differ depending on the presentation
mode, and can be determined as per the table below:
