[[framebuffer-blending]]
== Blending

Blending combines the incoming _source_ fragment's R, G, B, and A values
with the _destination_ R, G, B, and A values of each sample stored in the
framebuffer at the fragment's [eq]#(x~f~,y~f~)# location.
Blending is performed for each color sample covered by the fragment, rather
than just once for each fragment.

Source and destination values are combined according to the
<<framebuffer-blendoperations,blend operation>>, quadruplets of source and
destination weighting factors determined by the <<framebuffer-blendfactors,
blend factors>>, and a <<framebuffer-blendconstants,blend constant>>, to
obtain a new set of R, G, B, and A values, as described below.

Blending is computed and applied separately to each color attachment used by
the subpass, with separate controls for each attachment.

Prior to performing the blend operation, signed and unsigned normalized
fixed-point color components undergo an implied conversion to floating-point
as specified by <<fundamentals-fixedfpconv,Conversion from Normalized
Fixed-Point to Floating-Point>>.
Blending computations are treated as if carried out in floating-point, and
basic blend operations are performed with a precision and dynamic range no
lower than that used to represent destination components.
ifdef::VK_EXT_blend_operation_advanced[]
<<framebuffer-blend-advanced,Advanced blending operations>> are performed
with a precision and dynamic range no lower than the smaller of that used to
represent destination components or that used to represent 16-bit
floating-point values.
endif::VK_EXT_blend_operation_advanced[]

[NOTE]
.Note
====
Blending is only defined for floating-point, UNORM, SNORM, and sRGB formats.
Within those formats, the implementation may only support blending on some
subset of them.
Which formats support blending is indicated by
ename:VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_COLOR_ATTACHMENT_BLEND_BIT.

ename:VK_BLEND_FACTOR_ONE_MINUS_SRC1_COLOR,

resources that could otherwise be used for rendering to multiple color
attachments.
Therefore, the number of color attachments that can: be used in a
framebuffer may: be lower when using dual-source blending.

Dual-source blending is only supported if the <<features-dualSrcBlend,
pname:dualSrcBlend>> feature is enabled.

The maximum number of color attachments that can: be used in a subpass when
using dual-source blending functions is implementation-dependent and is
reported as the pname:maxFragmentDualSrcAttachments member of
sname:VkPhysicalDeviceLimits.

Color outputs can: be bound to the first and second inputs of the blender
using the code:Index decoration, as described in
<<interfaces-fragmentoutput,Fragment Output Interface>>.
If the second color input to the blender is not written in the shader, or if
no output is bound to the second input of a blender, the value of the second
input is undefined:.

  [eq]#G = max(G~s0~,G~d~)# +
  [eq]#B = max(B~s0~,B~d~)#
| [eq]#A = max(A~s0~,A~d~)#
|====

In this table, the following conventions are used:

  * [eq]#R~s0~, G~s0~, B~s0~# and [eq]#A~s0~# represent the first source
    color R, G, B, and A components, respectively.
  * [eq]#R~d~, G~d~, B~d~# and [eq]#A~d~# represent the R, G, B, and A
    components of the destination color.
    That is, the color currently in the corresponding color attachment for
    this fragment/sample.
  * [eq]#S~r~, S~g~, S~b~# and [eq]#S~a~# represent the source blend factor
    R, G, B, and A components, respectively.
  * [eq]#D~r~, D~g~, D~b~# and [eq]#D~a~# represent the destination blend
    factor R, G, B, and A components, respectively.

The blending operation produces a new set of values [eq]#R, G, B# and
[eq]#A#, which are written to the framebuffer attachment.
If blending is not enabled for this attachment, then [eq]#R, G, B# and
[eq]#A# are assigned [eq]#R~s0~, G~s0~, B~s0~# and [eq]#A~s0~#,
respectively.

If the color attachment is fixed-point, the components of the source and
destination values and blend factors are each clamped to [eq]#[0,1]# or
[eq]#[-1,1]# respectively for an unsigned normalized or signed normalized
color attachment prior to evaluating the blend operations.
If the color attachment is floating-point, no clamping occurs.
--

If the <<formats-numericformat, numeric format>> of a framebuffer attachment
uses sRGB encoding, the R, G, and B destination color values (after
conversion from fixed-point to floating-point) are considered to be encoded
for the sRGB color space and hence are linearized prior to their use in
blending.
Each R, G, and B component is converted from nonlinear to linear as
described in the "`sRGB EOTF`" section of the <<data-format,Khronos Data
Format Specification>>.
If the format is not sRGB, no linearization is performed.

If the <<formats-numericformat, numeric format>> of a framebuffer attachment
uses sRGB encoding, then the final R, G and B values are converted into the
nonlinear sRGB representation before being written to the framebuffer
attachment as described in the "`sRGB EOTF^&#160;-1^`" section of the
Khronos Data Format Specification.

If the <<formats-numericformat, numeric format>> of a framebuffer color
attachment is not sRGB encoded then the resulting [eq]#c~s~# values for R, G
and B are unmodified.
The value of A is never sRGB encoded.
That is, the alpha component is always stored in memory as linear.

If the framebuffer color attachment is ename:VK_ATTACHMENT_UNUSED, no writes
are performed through that attachment.
Writes are not performed to framebuffer color attachments greater than or
equal to the sname:VkSubpassDescription::pname:colorAttachmentCount
ifdef::VK_VERSION_1_2,VK_KHR_create_renderpass2[]
or sname:VkSubpassDescription2::pname:colorAttachmentCount

[[framebuffer-logicop]]
== Logical Operations

The application can: enable a _logical operation_ between the fragment's
color values and the existing value in the framebuffer attachment.
This logical operation is applied prior to updating the framebuffer
attachment.
Logical operations are applied only for signed and unsigned integer and
normalized integer framebuffers.
Logical operations are not applied to floating-point or sRGB format color
attachments.

[open,refpage='VkLogicOp',desc='Framebuffer logical operations',type='enums']
--
Logical operations are controlled by the pname:logicOpEnable and
pname:logicOp members of slink:VkPipelineColorBlendStateCreateInfo.
ifdef::VK_EXT_extended_dynamic_state3[]
The pname:logicOpEnable state can also be controlled by
flink:vkCmdSetLogicOpEnableEXT if graphics pipeline is created with
ename:VK_DYNAMIC_STATE_LOGIC_OP_ENABLE_EXT set in

endif::VK_EXT_extended_dynamic_state2[]
If pname:logicOpEnable is ename:VK_TRUE, then a logical operation selected
by pname:logicOp is applied between each color attachment and the fragment's
corresponding output value, and blending of all attachments is treated as if
it were disabled.
Any attachments using color formats for which logical operations are not
supported simply pass through the color values unmodified.
The logical operation is applied independently for each of the red, green,
blue, and alpha components.
The pname:logicOp is selected from the following operations:

include::{generated}/api/enums/VkLogicOp.adoc[]

<<<

The logical operations supported by Vulkan are summarized in the following
table in which

  * [eq]#{lnot}# is bitwise invert,
  * [eq]#{land}# is bitwise and,
  * [eq]#{lor}# is bitwise or,

slink:VkPipelineColorBlendStateCreateInfo, it defines per-attachment color
write state.
If this structure is not included in the pname:pNext chain, it is equivalent
to specifying this structure with pname:attachmentCount equal to the
pname:attachmentCount member of slink:VkPipelineColorBlendStateCreateInfo,
and pname:pColorWriteEnables pointing to an array of as many ename:VK_TRUE
values.

If the <<features-colorWriteEnable, pname:colorWriteEnable>> feature is not
enabled on the device, all basetype:VkBool32 elements in the
pname:pColorWriteEnables array must: be ename:VK_TRUE.

Color Write Enable interacts with the <<framebuffer-color-write-mask,Color
Write Mask>> as follows:

  * If pname:colorWriteEnable is ename:VK_TRUE, writes to the attachment are
    determined by the pname:colorWriteMask.
  * If pname:colorWriteEnable is ename:VK_FALSE, the pname:colorWriteMask is
    ignored and writes to all components of the attachment are disabled.
    This is equivalent to specifying a pname:colorWriteMask of 0.

[open,refpage='vkGetFramebufferTilePropertiesQCOM',desc='Get tile properties from the attachments in framebuffer',type='protos']
--
To query the tile properties from the attachments in framebuffer, call:

include::{generated}/api/protos/vkGetFramebufferTilePropertiesQCOM.adoc[]

  * pname:device is a logical device associated with the framebuffer.
  * pname:framebuffer is a handle of the framebuffer to query.
  * pname:pPropertiesCount is a pointer to an integer related to the number
    of tile properties available or queried, as described below.
  * pname:pProperties is either `NULL` or a pointer to an array of
    slink:VkTilePropertiesQCOM structures.

If pname:pProperties is `NULL`, then the number of tile properties available
is returned in pname:pPropertiesCount.
Otherwise, pname:pPropertiesCount must: point to a variable set by the user
to the number of elements in the pname:pProperties array, and on return the
variable is overwritten with the number of properties actually written to
pname:pProperties.
If pname:pPropertiesCount is less than the number of tile properties
available, at most pname:pPropertiesCount structures will be written, and
ename:VK_INCOMPLETE will be returned instead of ename:VK_SUCCESS, to
indicate that not all the available properties were returned.

The number of tile properties available is determined by the number of
merged subpasses, and each tile property is associated with a merged
subpass.
There will be at most as many properties as there are subpasses within the
render pass.
To obtain the tile properties for a given merged subpass, the `pProperties`
array can be indexed using the `postMergeIndex` value provided in
slink:VkRenderPassSubpassFeedbackInfoEXT.
