## Name

VkCoverageReductionModeNV - Specify the coverage reduction mode

Loading… please wait.

## C Specification

Possible values of VkPipelineCoverageReductionStateCreateInfoNV::`coverageReductionMode`, specifying how color sample coverage is generated from pixel coverage, are:

    // Provided by VK_NV_coverage_reduction_mode
    typedef enum VkCoverageReductionModeNV {
        VK_COVERAGE_REDUCTION_MODE_MERGE_NV = 0,
        VK_COVERAGE_REDUCTION_MODE_TRUNCATE_NV = 1,
    } VkCoverageReductionModeNV;

## Description

- `VK_COVERAGE_REDUCTION_MODE_MERGE_NV` specifies that each color sample will be associated with an implementation-dependent subset of samples in the pixel coverage. If any of those associated samples are covered, the color sample is covered.

- `VK_COVERAGE_REDUCTION_MODE_TRUNCATE_NV` specifies that for color samples present in the color attachments, a color sample is covered if the pixel coverage sample with the same sample index i is covered; other pixel coverage samples are discarded.
