Class EXTShaderTileImage

java.lang.Object
org.lwjgl.vulkan.EXTShaderTileImage
public final class EXTShaderTileImage extends Object
This extension allows fragment shader invocations to read color, depth and stencil values at their pixel location in rasterization order. The functionality is only available when using dynamic render passes introduced by VK_KHR_dynamic_rendering. Example use cases are programmable blending and deferred shading.

See fragment shader tile image reads for more information.

Examples

Color read example.


 layout( location = 0 // aliased to color attachment 0  ) tileImageEXT highp attachmentEXT color0;
 layout( location = 1 // aliased to color attachment 1  ) tileImageEXT highp attachmentEXT color1;
 
 layout( location = 0 ) out vec4 fragColor;
 
 void main()
 {
     vec4 value = colorAttachmentReadEXT(color0) + colorAttachmentReadEXT(color1);
     fragColor = value;
 }

Depth & Stencil read example.


 void main()
 {
     // read sample 0: works for non-MSAA or MSAA targets
     highp float last_depth = depthAttachmentReadEXT();
     lowp uint last_stencil = stencilAttachmentReadEXT();
 
     //..
 }
