Specifying a pipeline multisample state

Multisampling is a process that eliminates jagged edges of drawn primitives. In other words, it allows us to anti-alias polygons, lines and points. We define how multisampling is performed (and if at all) through a multisample state.

How to do it...

1. Create a variable of type VkPipelineMultisampleStateCreateInfo named multisample_state_create_info. Use the following values to initialize its members:
   • VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PIPELINE_MULTISAMPLE_STATE_CREATE_INFO value for sType
   • nullptr value for pNext
   • 0 value for flags
   • The number of samples generated per pixel for rasterizationSamples
   • A true value if per sample shading should be enabled (only if sampleRateShading feature is enabled) or false otherwise for sampleShadingEnable
   • A minimum fraction of uniquely shaded samples, when sample shading is enabled, for minSampleShading
   • A pointer to an array of bitmasks that controls a fragment's static coverage or a nullptr value to indicate that no coverage is removed from the...
