# setSamplerStates(_:range:)

Encodes multiple texture samplers to the sampler argument table, allowing compute kernels to use them for sampling textures on the GPU.

## Declaration

```swift
func setSamplerStates(_ samplers: [(any MTLSamplerState)?], range: Range<Int>)
```

## Parameters

- `samplers`: An array of doc://com.apple.metal/documentation/Metal/MTLSamplerState instance to bind to the sampler argument table.
- `range`: The sampler table indicies to bind each of the samplers to, in the order they appear.

## Discussion

Discussion warning: This method requires that the number of instances in samplers be the same as the length of range.
