C Specification

The primitive topology is specified by the VkPipelineInputAssemblyStateCreateInfo::topology property of the currently active pipeline, if the pipeline was not created with VK_DYNAMIC_STATE_PRIMITIVE_TOPOLOGY_EXT enabled.

Otherwise, the primitive topology is set by calling:

// Provided by VK_EXT_extended_dynamic_state
void vkCmdSetPrimitiveTopologyEXT(
    VkCommandBuffer                             commandBuffer,
    VkPrimitiveTopology                         primitiveTopology);

Parameters

  • commandBuffer is the command buffer into which the command will be recorded.

  • topology specifies the primitive topology to use for drawing.
