# setFragmentSamplerStates:withRange:

Assigns multiple sampler states to a range of entries in the fragment shader argument table.

## Declaration

```occ
- (void) setFragmentSamplerStates:(id<MTLSamplerState> const[]) samplers withRange:(NSRange) range;
```

## Parameters

- `samplers`: A pointer to a C array of doc://com.apple.metal/documentation/Metal/MTLSamplerState instances the command assigns to entries in the fragment shader argument table for sampler states.
- `range`: A span of integers that represent the entries in the fragment shader argument table for sampler states. Each entry stores a record of the corresponding element in samplers.

## Discussion

Discussion By default, the sampler state at each index is nil. note: The Swift version of this method is setFragmentSamplerStates(_:range:).
