VkBindImagePlaneMemoryInfo(3)

# VkBindImagePlaneMemoryInfo(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkBindImagePlaneMemoryInfo - Structure specifying how to bind an image plane to memory

## C Specification

In order to bind planes of a disjoint image, add a `VkBindImagePlaneMemoryInfo` structure to the `pNext` chain of VkBindImageMemoryInfo.

The `VkBindImagePlaneMemoryInfo` structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_VERSION_1_1
    typedef struct VkBindImagePlaneMemoryInfo {
        VkStructureType          sType;
        const void*              pNext;
        VkImageAspectFlagBits    planeAspect;
    } VkBindImagePlaneMemoryInfo;

    // Provided by VK_KHR_sampler_ycbcr_conversion
    // Equivalent to VkBindImagePlaneMemoryInfo
    typedef VkBindImagePlaneMemoryInfo VkBindImagePlaneMemoryInfoKHR;

## Members

- `sType` is a VkStructureType value identifying this structure.

- `pNext` is `NULL` or a pointer to a structure extending this structure.

- `planeAspect` is a VkImageAspectFlagBits value specifying the aspect of the disjoint image plane to bind.

## Description

Valid Usage

- VUID-VkBindImagePlaneMemoryInfo-planeAspect-02283
  If the image’s `tiling` is VK_IMAGE_TILING_LINEAR or VK_IMAGE_TILING_OPTIMAL, then `planeAspect` must be a single valid multi-planar aspect mask bit

- VUID-VkBindImagePlaneMemoryInfo-planeAspect-02284
  If the image’s `tiling` is VK_IMAGE_TILING_DRM_FORMAT_MODIFIER_EXT, then `planeAspect` must be a single valid memory plane for the image (that is, `aspectMask` must specify a plane index that is less than the VkDrmFormatModifierPropertiesEXT::`drmFormatModifierPlaneCount` associated with the image’s `format` and VkImageDrmFormatModifierPropertiesEXT::`drmFormatModifier`)

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkBindImagePlaneMemoryInfo-sType-sType
  `sType` must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_BIND_IMAGE_PLANE_MEMORY_INFO

- VUID-VkBindImagePlaneMemoryInfo-planeAspect-parameter
  `planeAspect` must be a valid VkImageAspectFlagBits value
