Class NVViewportArray2

  • public final class NVViewportArray2
extends java.lang.Object
    This extension adds support for the following SPIR-V extension in Vulkan:
    • SPV_NV_viewport_array2

    which allows a single primitive to be broadcast to multiple viewports and/or multiple layers. A new shader built-in output ViewportMaskNV is provided, which allows a single primitive to be output to multiple viewports simultaneously. Also, a new SPIR-V decoration is added to control whether the effective viewport index is added into the variable decorated with the Layer built-in decoration. These capabilities allow a single primitive to be output to multiple layers simultaneously.

    This extension allows variables decorated with the Layer and ViewportIndex built-ins to be exported from vertex or tessellation shaders, using the ShaderViewportIndexLayerNV capability.

    This extension adds a new ViewportMaskNV built-in decoration that is available for output variables in vertex, tessellation evaluation, and geometry shaders, and a new ViewportRelativeNV decoration that can be added on variables decorated with Layer when using the ShaderViewportMaskNV capability.

    When using GLSL source-based shading languages, the gl_ViewportMask[] built-in output variable and viewport_relative layout qualifier from GL_NV_viewport_array2 map to the ViewportMaskNV and ViewportRelativeNV decorations, respectively. Behaviour is described in the GL_NV_viewport_array2 extension specificiation.

    Note

    The ShaderViewportIndexLayerNV capability is equivalent to the ShaderViewportIndexLayerEXT capability added by VK_EXT_shader_viewport_index_layer.
