Specifies the texture format and colorspace of the swapchain textures.
SDR will always be supported. Other compositions may not be supported on
certain systems.
It is recommended to query SDL_WindowSupportsGPUSwapchainComposition after
claiming the window if you wish to change the swapchain composition from
SDR.
- SDR: B8G8R8A8 or R8G8B8A8 swapchain. Pixel values are in sRGB encoding.
- SDR_LINEAR: B8G8R8A8_SRGB or R8G8B8A8_SRGB swapchain. Pixel values are
stored in memory in sRGB encoding but accessed in shaders in "linear
sRGB" encoding which is sRGB but with a linear transfer function.
- HDR_EXTENDED_LINEAR: R16G16B16A16_FLOAT swapchain. Pixel values are in
extended linear sRGB encoding and permits values outside of the [0, 1]
range.
- HDR10_ST2084: A2R10G10B10 or A2B10G10R10 swapchain. Pixel values are in
BT.2020 ST2084 (PQ) encoding.
