struct _Texture<T, Shape, isArray:int, isMS:int, sampleCount:int, access:int, isShadow:int, isCombined:int, format:int>
Internal Feature
The feature described in this page is marked as an internal implementation detail, and is not intended for use by end-users. Users are advised to avoid using this declaration directly, as it may be removed or changed in future releases.
Description
A parameterized type that represents all flavors of texture types supported by the Slang language. Please note that this type is not intended to be used directly in user code, and not all combinations of the generic arguments are valid. Instead, use the specific texture types such as Texture1D, Texture2DArray and Sampler2D etc. This documentation is provided for reference purposes only.
Generic Parameters
T
The element type of the texture. Must be a scalar or vector type.
Shape: __ITextureShape
The shape of the texture. Must be one of __Shape1D, __Shape2D, __Shape3D, __ShapeCube or __ShapeBuffer.
isArray : int
Indicates whether the texture is an array texture.
isMS : int
Indicates whether the texture is a multisampled texture.
sampleCount : int
The number of samples of a multisampled texture.
access : int
The access mode of the texture. 0 for read-only, 1 for read-write, 2 for rasterizer-ordered, 3 for feedback.
isShadow : int
Indicates whether the texture is a shadow texture (for combined texture-sampler only).
isCombined : int
Indicates whether the texture is a combined texture-sampler.
format : int
The storage format of the texture. Users should specify the format using an [format("…")] attribute instead.

Remarks
HLSL texture types are implemented as typealiases to the builtin _Texture type. Users are advised to use the HLSL-specific texture types instead of _Texture directly.
For read-write textures, Slang will automatically infer format from T. To explicitly specify texel storage formats for read-write textures, use the [format("formatString")] attribute on the texture parameter declaration. Allowed formatString values are:

|---|---|---|

| 2 | "rgba16f" | 4 channel 16-bit floating point texture |

When targeting Vulkan, a combined-texture-sampler type (isCombined==1) translates to a OpTypeSampledImage type in SPIR-V. For other targets, the combined-texture-sampler type is translated to a pair of a Texture and SamplerState. isShadow is only applicable to combined-texture-sampler types and must be 0 for non-combined texture types.
