# vkGetPhysicalDeviceDisplayPlanePropertiesKHR(3) Manual Page

## Name

vkGetPhysicalDeviceDisplayPlanePropertiesKHR - Query the plane properties

Loading… please wait.

## C Specification

Images are presented to individual planes on a display. Devices must support at least one plane on each display. Planes can be stacked and blended to composite multiple images on one display. Devices may support only a fixed stacking order and fixed mapping between planes and displays, or they may allow arbitrary application specified stacking orders and mappings between planes and displays. To query the properties of device display planes, call:

    // Provided by VK_KHR_display
    VkResult vkGetPhysicalDeviceDisplayPlanePropertiesKHR(
        VkPhysicalDevice                            physicalDevice,
        uint32_t*                                   pPropertyCount,
        VkDisplayPlanePropertiesKHR*                pProperties);

## Parameters

- `physicalDevice` is a physical device.

- `pPropertyCount` is a pointer to an integer related to the number of display planes available or queried, as described below.

- `pProperties` is either `NULL` or a pointer to an array of `VkDisplayPlanePropertiesKHR` structures.

## Description

If `pProperties` is `NULL`, then the number of display planes available for `physicalDevice` is returned in `pPropertyCount`. Otherwise, `pPropertyCount` must point to a variable set by the user to the number of elements in the `pProperties` array, and on return the variable is overwritten with the number of structures actually written to `pProperties`. If the value of `pPropertyCount` is less than the number of display planes for `physicalDevice`, at most `pPropertyCount` structures will be written.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-vkGetPhysicalDeviceDisplayPlanePropertiesKHR-physicalDevice-parameter
  `physicalDevice` must be a valid VkPhysicalDevice handle

- VUID-vkGetPhysicalDeviceDisplayPlanePropertiesKHR-pPropertyCount-parameter
  `pPropertyCount` must be a valid pointer to a `uint32_t` value

- VUID-vkGetPhysicalDeviceDisplayPlanePropertiesKHR-pProperties-parameter
  If the value referenced by `pPropertyCount` is not `0`, and `pProperties` is not `NULL`, `pProperties` must be a valid pointer to an array of `pPropertyCount` VkDisplayPlanePropertiesKHR structures

Return Codes

On success, this command returns

  - `VK_SUCCESS`

  - `VK_INCOMPLETE`

On failure, this command returns

  - `VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY`

  - `VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_DEVICE_MEMORY`
