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:pCreateInfo is a pointer to an instance of the
slink:VkSamplerCreateInfo structure specifying the state of the sampler

lookup the texel is in the range of zero to the image dimensions for x,
y and z.
When set to ename:VK_FALSE the range of image coordinates is zero to

functions in the shader that use the sampler have the following
requirements:

[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
<<features-limits-maxSamplerAllocationCount,maxSamplerAllocationCount>>
member of the slink:VkPhysicalDeviceLimits structure.
If pname:maxSamplerAllocationCount is exceeded, fname:vkCreateSampler will
return ename:VK_ERROR_TOO_MANY_OBJECTS.
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.

If pname:chromaFilter is ename:VK_FILTER_NEAREST, chroma samples are
reconstructed to luma channel resolution using nearest-neighbour sampling.
Otherwise, chroma samples are reconstructed using interpolation.

model conversion but the inputs are range expanded as for Y'C~B~C~R~.
* ename:VK_SAMPLER_YCBCR_MODEL_CONVERSION_YCBCR_709 specifies the color
model conversion from Y'C~B~C~R~ to R'G'B' defined in BT.709 and

In the etext:VK_SAMPLER_YCBCR_MODEL_CONVERSION_YCBCR_* color models, for the
input to the sampler Y'C~B~C~R~ range expansion and model conversion:
* the Y (Y' luma) channel corresponds to the G channel of an RGB image.
* the CB (C~B~ or "`U`" blue color difference) channel corresponds to the
B channel of an RGB image.
* the CR (C~R~ or "`V`" red color difference) channel corresponds to the R
channel of an RGB image.
* the alpha channel, if present, is not modified by color model
conversion.
These rules reflect the mapping of channels after the channel swizzle
operation (controlled by
slink:VkSamplerYcbcrConversionCreateInfo::pname:components).

====
For example, an "`YUVA`" 32-bit format comprising four 8-bit channels can be
implemented as ename:VK_FORMAT_R8G8B8A8_UNORM with a component mapping:
* pname:components.a = ename:VK_COMPONENT_SWIZZLE_IDENTITY

The elink:VkSamplerYcbcrRange enum describes whether color channels are
encoded using the full range of numerical values or whether values are
reserved for headroom and foot room.
elink:VkSamplerYcbcrRange is defined as:
include::../api/enums/VkSamplerYcbcrRange.txt[]

or the equivalent
include::../api/enums/VkSamplerYcbcrRangeKHR.txt[]

the encoded values are valid and interpreted according to the ITU "`full
range`" quantization rules.
* ename:VK_SAMPLER_YCBCR_RANGE_ITU_NARROW specifies that headroom and foot
room are reserved in the numerical range of encoded values, and the
remaining values are expanded according to the ITU "`narrow range`"
quantization rules.
The formulae for these conversions is described in the
<<textures-sampler-YCbCr-conversion-rangeexpand,Sampler Y'C~B~C~R~ Range
Expansion>> section of the <<textures,Image Operations>> chapter.
No range modification takes place if pname:ycbcrModel is
ename:VK_SAMPLER_YCBCR_MODEL_CONVERSION_RGB_IDENTITY; the pname:ycbcrRange
field of sname:VkSamplerYcbcrConversionCreateInfo is ignored in this case.
