# MDLTextureFilter

A description of filtering modes for a renderer to use when sampling from a texture.

## Declaration

```swift
class MDLTextureFilter
```

## Overview

Overview A texture filter, together with a MDLTexture object and transform information, form a MDLTextureSampler object, which describes a texture and its rendering parameters for use in rendering one aspect of a MDLMaterial object’s surface appearance.
