sname:VkSampler objects represent the state of an image sampler which is
used by the implementation to read image data and apply filtering and other
transformations for the shader.
Samplers are represented by sname:VkSampler handles:

* pname:sType is a elink:VkStructureType value identifying this structure.
* pname:pNext is `NULL` or a pointer to a structure extending this
structure.
* pname:flags is a bitmask of elink:VkSamplerCreateFlagBits describing
additional parameters of the sampler.
* pname:magFilter is a elink:VkFilter value specifying the magnification
filter to apply to lookups.
* pname:minFilter is a elink:VkFilter value specifying the minification
filter to apply to lookups.
* pname:mipmapMode is a elink:VkSamplerMipmapMode value specifying the
mipmap filter to apply to lookups.
* pname:addressModeU is a elink:VkSamplerAddressMode value specifying the
addressing mode for U coordinates outside [eq]#[0,1)#.

addressing mode for V coordinates outside [eq]#[0,1)#.
* pname:addressModeW is a elink:VkSamplerAddressMode value specifying the
addressing mode for W coordinates outside [eq]#[0,1)#.
* [[samplers-mipLodBias]] pname:mipLodBias is the bias to be added to
mipmap LOD calculation and bias provided by image sampling functions in
SPIR-V, as described in the <<textures-level-of-detail-operation, LOD
Operation>> section.
* [[samplers-maxAnisotropy]] pname:anisotropyEnable is ename:VK_TRUE to
enable anisotropic filtering, as described in the
<<textures-texel-anisotropic-filtering, Texel Anisotropic Filtering>>
section, or ename:VK_FALSE otherwise.
* pname:maxAnisotropy is the anisotropy value clamp used by the sampler
when pname:anisotropyEnable is ename:VK_TRUE.
If pname:anisotropyEnable is ename:VK_FALSE, pname:maxAnisotropy is
ignored.
* pname:compareEnable is ename:VK_TRUE to enable comparison against a
reference value during lookups, or ename:VK_FALSE otherwise.
** Note: Some implementations will default to shader state if this member
does not match.
* pname:compareOp is a elink:VkCompareOp value specifying the comparison
operator to apply to fetched data before filtering as described in the
<<textures-depth-compare-operation, Depth Compare Operation>> section.
* pname:minLod is used to clamp the <<textures-level-of-detail-operation,
minimum of the computed LOD value>>.
* pname:maxLod is used to clamp the <<textures-level-of-detail-operation,
maximum of the computed LOD value>>.
To avoid clamping the maximum value, set pname:maxLod to the constant
ename:VK_LOD_CLAMP_NONE.
* pname:borderColor is a elink:VkBorderColor value specifying the
predefined border color to use.
* [[samplers-unnormalizedCoordinates]] pname:unnormalizedCoordinates
controls whether to use unnormalized or normalized texel coordinates to
address texels of the image.
When set to ename:VK_TRUE, the range of the image coordinates used to
lookup the texel is in the range of zero to the image size in each
dimension.
When set to ename:VK_FALSE the range of image coordinates is zero to
one.
+
When pname:unnormalizedCoordinates is ename:VK_TRUE, images the sampler is
used with in the shader have the following requirements:
+
** The pname:viewType must: be either ename:VK_IMAGE_VIEW_TYPE_1D or
ename:VK_IMAGE_VIEW_TYPE_2D.
** The image view must: have a single layer and a single mip level.
+
When pname:unnormalizedCoordinates is ename:VK_TRUE, image built-in
functions in the shader that use the sampler have the following
requirements:
+
** The functions must: not use projection.
** The functions must: not use offsets.
[NOTE]
.Mapping of OpenGL to Vulkan filter modes
====
pname:magFilter values of ename:VK_FILTER_NEAREST and ename:VK_FILTER_LINEAR
directly correspond to code:GL_NEAREST and code:GL_LINEAR magnification
filters.
pname:minFilter and pname:mipmapMode combine to correspond to the similarly
named OpenGL minification filter of code:GL_minFilter_MIPMAP_mipmapMode
(e.g. pname:minFilter of ename:VK_FILTER_LINEAR and pname:mipmapMode of
ename:VK_SAMPLER_MIPMAP_MODE_NEAREST correspond to
code:GL_LINEAR_MIPMAP_NEAREST).
There are no Vulkan filter modes that directly correspond to OpenGL
minification filters of code:GL_LINEAR or code:GL_NEAREST, but they can: be
emulated using ename:VK_SAMPLER_MIPMAP_MODE_NEAREST, pname:minLod = 0, and
pname:maxLod = 0.25, and using pname:minFilter = ename:VK_FILTER_LINEAR or
pname:minFilter = ename:VK_FILTER_NEAREST, respectively.
Note that using a pname:maxLod of zero would cause
<<textures-texel-filtering,magnification>> to always be performed, and the
pname:magFilter to always be used.
This is valid, just not an exact match for OpenGL behavior.
Clamping the maximum LOD to 0.25 allows the [eq]#{lambda}# value to be
non-zero and minification to be performed, while still always rounding down
to the base level.
If the pname:minFilter and pname:magFilter are equal, then using a
pname:maxLod of zero also works.
====
The maximum number of sampler objects which can: be simultaneously created
on a device is implementation-dependent and specified by the
<<limits-maxSamplerAllocationCount, pname:maxSamplerAllocationCount>> member
of the slink:VkPhysicalDeviceLimits structure.
[NOTE]
.Note
====
For historical reasons, if pname:maxSamplerAllocationCount is exceeded, some
implementations may return ename:VK_ERROR_TOO_MANY_OBJECTS.
Exceeding this limit will result in undefined: behavior, and an application
should not rely on the use of the returned error code in order to identify
when the limit is reached.
====
Since slink:VkSampler is a non-dispatchable handle type, implementations
may: return the same handle for sampler state vectors that are identical.
In such cases, all such objects would only count once against the
pname:maxSamplerAllocationCount limit.

include::{generated}/api/structs/VkSamplerCustomBorderColorCreateInfoEXT.adoc[]
* pname:sType is a elink:VkStructureType value identifying this structure.
* pname:pNext is `NULL` or a pointer to a structure extending this
structure.
* pname:customBorderColor is a slink:VkClearColorValue representing the
desired custom sampler border color.
* pname:format is a elink:VkFormat representing the format of the sampled
image view(s).
This field may be ename:VK_FORMAT_UNDEFINED if the
<<features-customBorderColorWithoutFormat,
pname:customBorderColorWithoutFormat>> feature is enabled.
[NOTE]
.Note
====
If pname:format is a depth/stencil format, the aspect is determined by the
value of slink:VkSamplerCreateInfo::pname:borderColor.
If slink:VkSamplerCreateInfo::pname:borderColor is
ename:VK_BORDER_COLOR_FLOAT_CUSTOM_EXT, the depth aspect is considered.
If slink:VkSamplerCreateInfo::pname:borderColor is
ename:VK_BORDER_COLOR_INT_CUSTOM_EXT, the stencil aspect is considered.
If pname:format is ename:VK_FORMAT_UNDEFINED, the
slink:VkSamplerCreateInfo::pname:borderColor is
ename:VK_BORDER_COLOR_INT_CUSTOM_EXT, and the sampler is used with an image
with a stencil format, then the implementation must: source the custom
border color from either the first or second components of
slink:VkSamplerCreateInfo::pname:customBorderColor and should: source it
from the first component.

If pname:format is not ename:VK_FORMAT_UNDEFINED and pname:format is not
a depth/stencil format then the
slink:VkSamplerCreateInfo::pname:borderColor type must: match the
sampled type of the provided pname:format, as shown in the _SPIR-V Type_
column of the <<formats-numericformat>> table
* [[VUID-VkSamplerCustomBorderColorCreateInfoEXT-format-04014]]
If the <<features-customBorderColorWithoutFormat,

border color, by including the
sname:VkSamplerBorderColorComponentMappingCreateInfoEXT structure in the
slink:VkSamplerCreateInfo::pname:pNext chain, to get defined results.
The sname:VkSamplerBorderColorComponentMappingCreateInfoEXT structure is
defined as:
include::{generated}/api/structs/VkSamplerBorderColorComponentMappingCreateInfoEXT.adoc[]
* pname:sType is a elink:VkStructureType value identifying this structure.
* pname:pNext is `NULL` or a pointer to a structure extending this
structure.
* pname:components is a slink:VkComponentMapping structure specifying a
remapping of the border color components.
* pname:srgb indicates that the sampler will be combined with an image
view that has an image format which is sRGB encoded.
The slink:VkComponentMapping pname:components member describes a remapping
from components of the border color to components of the vector returned by
shader image instructions when the border color is used.
