Module vulkano::render_pass[−][src]

Description of the steps of the rendering process, and the images used as input or output.

Render passes and framebuffers

There are two concepts in Vulkan:

A render pass describes the overall process of drawing a frame. It is subdivided into one or more subpasses.
A framebuffer contains the list of image views that are attached during the drawing of each subpass.

Render passes are typically created at initialization only (for example during a loading screen) because they can be costly, while framebuffers can be created and destroyed either at initialization or during the frame.

Consequently you can create graphics pipelines from a render pass object alone. A Framebuffer object is only needed when you actually add draw commands to a command buffer.

Structs

AttachmentDesc	Describes an attachment that will be used in a render pass.
Framebuffer	The image views that are attached to a render pass during drawing.
FramebufferBuilder	Prototype of a framebuffer.
FramebufferSys	Opaque object that represents the internals of a framebuffer.
RenderPass	An object representing the discrete steps in which rendering is done.
RenderPassDesc	The description of a render pass.
RenderPassSys	Opaque object that represents the render pass’ internals.
Subpass	Represents a subpass within a `RenderPass` object.
SubpassDependencyDesc	Describes a dependency between two subpasses of a render pass.
SubpassDesc	Describes one of the subpasses of a render pass.

Enums

FramebufferCreationError	Error that can happen when creating a framebuffer object.
IncompatibleRenderPassAttachmentError	Error that can happen when an image is not compatible with a render pass attachment slot.
LoadOp	Describes what the implementation should do with an attachment at the start of the subpass.
RenderPassCreationError	Error that can happen when creating a compute pipeline.
StoreOp	Describes what the implementation should do with an attachment after all the subpasses have completed.

Traits

AttachmentsList	A list of attachments.
FramebufferAbstract	Trait for objects that contain a Vulkan framebuffer object.
