# vkCmdSetViewportWScalingNV(3) Manual Page

## Name

vkCmdSetViewportWScalingNV - Set the viewport W scaling dynamically for a command buffer

Loading… please wait.

## C Specification

To dynamically set the viewport W scaling parameters, call:

    // Provided by VK_NV_clip_space_w_scaling
    void vkCmdSetViewportWScalingNV(
        VkCommandBuffer                             commandBuffer,
        uint32_t                                    firstViewport,
        uint32_t                                    viewportCount,
        const VkViewportWScalingNV*                 pViewportWScalings);

## Parameters

- `commandBuffer` is the command buffer into which the command will be recorded.

- `firstViewport` is the index of the first viewport whose parameters are updated by the command.

- `viewportCount` is the number of viewports whose parameters are updated by the command.

- `pViewportWScalings` is a pointer to an array of VkViewportWScalingNV structures specifying viewport parameters.

## Description

The viewport parameters taken from element i of `pViewportWScalings` replace the current state for the viewport index `firstViewport` + i, for i in [0, `viewportCount`).

This command sets the viewport W scaling for subsequent drawing commands when drawing using shader objects, or when the graphics pipeline is created with `VK_DYNAMIC_STATE_VIEWPORT_W_SCALING_NV` set in VkPipelineDynamicStateCreateInfo::`pDynamicStates`. Otherwise, this state is specified by the VkPipelineViewportWScalingStateCreateInfoNV::`pViewportWScalings` values used to create the currently active pipeline.

Valid Usage

- VUID-vkCmdSetViewportWScalingNV-firstViewport-01324
  The sum of `firstViewport` and `viewportCount` must be between `1` and VkPhysicalDeviceLimits::`maxViewports`, inclusive

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-vkCmdSetViewportWScalingNV-commandBuffer-parameter
  `commandBuffer` must be a valid VkCommandBuffer handle

- VUID-vkCmdSetViewportWScalingNV-pViewportWScalings-parameter
  `pViewportWScalings` must be a valid pointer to an array of `viewportCount` VkViewportWScalingNV structures

- VUID-vkCmdSetViewportWScalingNV-commandBuffer-recording
  `commandBuffer` must be in the recording state

- VUID-vkCmdSetViewportWScalingNV-commandBuffer-cmdpool
  The `VkCommandPool` that `commandBuffer` was allocated from must support graphics operations

- VUID-vkCmdSetViewportWScalingNV-videocoding
  This command must only be called outside of a video coding scope

- VUID-vkCmdSetViewportWScalingNV-viewportCount-arraylength
  `viewportCount` must be greater than `0`

Host Synchronization

- Host access to `commandBuffer` must be externally synchronized

- Host access to the `VkCommandPool` that `commandBuffer` was allocated from must be externally synchronized
