# VkDepthClampModeEXT(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkDepthClampModeEXT - Modes that determine the depth clamp range

Loading… please wait.

## C Specification

Possible values of VkPipelineViewportDepthClampControlCreateInfoEXT::`depthClampMode`, specifying which range should be used for depth clamping, are:

    // Provided by VK_EXT_depth_clamp_control
    typedef enum VkDepthClampModeEXT {
        VK_DEPTH_CLAMP_MODE_VIEWPORT_RANGE_EXT = 0,
        VK_DEPTH_CLAMP_MODE_USER_DEFINED_RANGE_EXT = 1,
    } VkDepthClampModeEXT;

## Description

- `VK_DEPTH_CLAMP_MODE_VIEWPORT_RANGE_EXT` specifies that the depth clamp range follows the viewport depth range. The depth clamp range of each viewport will implicitly be set to zmin = min(n,f) and zmax = max(n,f), where n and f are the `minDepth` and `maxDepth` depth range values of the viewport.

- `VK_DEPTH_CLAMP_MODE_USER_DEFINED_RANGE_EXT` specifies that a single user-defined depth clamp range will be used for all viewports. The user-defined depth clamp range is defined by the `minDepthClamp` and `maxDepthClamp` members of VkDepthClampRangeEXT.
