VkFragmentShadingRateCombinerOpKHR(3)

# VkFragmentShadingRateCombinerOpKHR(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkFragmentShadingRateCombinerOpKHR - Control how fragment shading rates are combined

## C Specification

The equation used for each combiner operation is defined by VkFragmentShadingRateCombinerOpKHR:

    // Provided by VK_KHR_fragment_shading_rate
    typedef enum VkFragmentShadingRateCombinerOpKHR {
        VK_FRAGMENT_SHADING_RATE_COMBINER_OP_KEEP_KHR = 0,
        VK_FRAGMENT_SHADING_RATE_COMBINER_OP_REPLACE_KHR = 1,
        VK_FRAGMENT_SHADING_RATE_COMBINER_OP_MIN_KHR = 2,
        VK_FRAGMENT_SHADING_RATE_COMBINER_OP_MAX_KHR = 3,
        VK_FRAGMENT_SHADING_RATE_COMBINER_OP_MUL_KHR = 4,
    } VkFragmentShadingRateCombinerOpKHR;

## Description

- VK_FRAGMENT_SHADING_RATE_COMBINER_OP_KEEP_KHR specifies a combiner operation of combine(Axy,Bxy) = Axy.

- VK_FRAGMENT_SHADING_RATE_COMBINER_OP_REPLACE_KHR specifies a combiner operation of combine(Axy,Bxy) = Bxy.

- VK_FRAGMENT_SHADING_RATE_COMBINER_OP_MIN_KHR specifies a combiner operation of combine(Axy,Bxy) = min(Axy,Bxy).

- VK_FRAGMENT_SHADING_RATE_COMBINER_OP_MAX_KHR specifies a combiner operation of combine(Axy,Bxy) = max(Axy,Bxy).

- VK_FRAGMENT_SHADING_RATE_COMBINER_OP_MUL_KHR specifies a combiner operation of combine(Axy,Bxy) = Axy*Bxy.

where combine(Axy,Bxy) is the combine operation, and Axy and Bxy are the inputs to the operation.

If `fragmentShadingRateStrictMultiplyCombiner` is VK_FALSE, using VK_FRAGMENT_SHADING_RATE_COMBINER_OP_MUL_KHR with values of 1 for both A and B in the same dimension results in the value 2 being produced for that dimension. See the definition of `fragmentShadingRateStrictMultiplyCombiner` for more information.

These operations are performed in a component-wise fashion.
