Package org.lwjgl.vulkan

Class EXTDepthClipControl

java.lang.Object

org.lwjgl.vulkan.EXTDepthClipControl

public final class EXTDepthClipControl
extends Object

This extension allows the application to use the OpenGL depth range in NDC, i.e. with depth in range [-1, 1], as opposed to Vulkan’s default of [0, 1]. The purpose of this extension is to allow efficient layering of OpenGL over Vulkan, by avoiding emulation in the pre-rasterization shader stages. This emulation, which effectively duplicates gl_Position but with a different depth value, costs ALU and consumes shader output components that the implementation may not have to spare to meet OpenGL minimum requirements.
