VKIMAGEUSAGESAMPLEDBIT
VKIMAGEUSAGESAMPLEDBIT is a flag used within the Vulkan graphics API. It is part of the VkImageUsageFlagBits enumeration, which defines intended usage for a VkImage object. Specifically, VKIMAGEUSAGESAMPLEDBIT indicates that the image will be used as a sampled image. This means the image will be accessed by shaders for texture sampling operations, such as reading pixel data to be applied to surfaces in a rendered scene.
When creating a VkImage, developers specify its intended usage through the usage parameter. Including VKIMAGEUSAGESAMPLEDBIT in
Using VKIMAGEUSAGESAMPLEDBIT is crucial for achieving good performance in graphics applications. If an image is intended
