textureFilteringFunctionType Enumeration

In This Topic

The texture filtering function is used whenever the pixel being textured maps to an area greater (minifying function) or smaller (magnifying function) than one texture element. There are six defined filtering functions. Two of them use the nearest one or nearest four texture elements to compute the texture value. The other four use mipmaps.

Members

Member	Description
Linear	Returns the weighted average of the four texture elements that are closest to the center of the pixel being textured.
LinearMipmapLinear	Chooses the two mipmaps that most closely match the size of the pixel being textured and uses the Linear criterion (a weighted average of the four texture elements that are closest to the center of the pixel) to produce a texture value from each mipmap. The final texture value is a weighted average of those two values.
LinearMipmapNearest	Chooses the mipmap that most closely matches the size of the pixel being textured and uses the Linear criterion (a weighted average of the four texture elements that are closest to the center of the pixel) to produce a texture value.
Nearest	Returns the value of the texture element that is nearest (in Manhattan distance) to the center of the pixel being textured.
NearestMipmapLinear	Chooses the two mipmaps that most closely match the size of the pixel being textured and uses the Nearest criterion (the texture element nearest to the center of the pixel) to produce a texture value from each mipmap. The final texture value is a weighted average of those two values.
NearestMipmapNearest	Chooses the mipmap that most closely matches the size of the pixel being textured and uses the Nearest criterion (the texture element nearest to the center of the pixel) to produce a texture value.
