# VkImageAspectFlagBits(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkImageAspectFlagBits - Bitmask specifying which aspects of an image are included in a view

## C Specification

Bits which can be set in an aspect mask to specify aspects of an image for purposes such as identifying a subresource, are:

    typedef enum VkImageAspectFlagBits {
        VK_IMAGE_ASPECT_COLOR_BIT = 0x00000001,
        VK_IMAGE_ASPECT_DEPTH_BIT = 0x00000002,
        VK_IMAGE_ASPECT_STENCIL_BIT = 0x00000004,
        VK_IMAGE_ASPECT_METADATA_BIT = 0x00000008,
        VK_IMAGE_ASPECT_PLANE_0_BIT = 0x00000010,
        VK_IMAGE_ASPECT_PLANE_1_BIT = 0x00000020,
        VK_IMAGE_ASPECT_PLANE_2_BIT = 0x00000040,
        VK_IMAGE_ASPECT_MEMORY_PLANE_0_BIT_EXT = 0x00000080,
        VK_IMAGE_ASPECT_MEMORY_PLANE_1_BIT_EXT = 0x00000100,
        VK_IMAGE_ASPECT_MEMORY_PLANE_2_BIT_EXT = 0x00000200,
        VK_IMAGE_ASPECT_MEMORY_PLANE_3_BIT_EXT = 0x00000400,
        VK_IMAGE_ASPECT_PLANE_0_BIT_KHR = VK_IMAGE_ASPECT_PLANE_0_BIT,
        VK_IMAGE_ASPECT_PLANE_1_BIT_KHR = VK_IMAGE_ASPECT_PLANE_1_BIT,
        VK_IMAGE_ASPECT_PLANE_2_BIT_KHR = VK_IMAGE_ASPECT_PLANE_2_BIT,
        VK_IMAGE_ASPECT_FLAG_BITS_MAX_ENUM = 0x7FFFFFFF
    } VkImageAspectFlagBits;

## Description

- `VK_IMAGE_ASPECT_COLOR_BIT` specifies the color aspect.

- `VK_IMAGE_ASPECT_DEPTH_BIT` specifies the depth aspect.

- `VK_IMAGE_ASPECT_STENCIL_BIT` specifies the stencil aspect.

- `VK_IMAGE_ASPECT_METADATA_BIT` specifies the metadata aspect, used for sparse sparse resource operations.

- `VK_IMAGE_ASPECT_PLANE_0_BIT` specifies plane 0 of a multi-planar image format.

- `VK_IMAGE_ASPECT_PLANE_1_BIT` specifies plane 1 of a multi-planar image format.

- `VK_IMAGE_ASPECT_PLANE_2_BIT` specifies plane 2 of a multi-planar image format.

- `VK_IMAGE_ASPECT_MEMORY_PLANE_0_BIT_EXT` specifies memory plane 0.

- `VK_IMAGE_ASPECT_MEMORY_PLANE_1_BIT_EXT` specifies memory plane 1.

- `VK_IMAGE_ASPECT_MEMORY_PLANE_2_BIT_EXT` specifies memory plane 2.

- `VK_IMAGE_ASPECT_MEMORY_PLANE_3_BIT_EXT` specifies memory plane 3.
