A GPUSampler object instance is created using the GPUDevice.createSampler() method.

A string providing a label that can be used to identify the object, for example in GPUError messages or console warnings.

Examples

The following snippet creates a GPUSampler that does trilinear filtering and repeats texture coordinates:

js
// ...
const sampler = device.createSampler({
  addressModeU: "repeat",
  addressModeV: "repeat",
  magFilter: "linear",
  minFilter: "linear",
  mipmapFilter: "linear",
});

The WebGPU samples Shadow Mapping sample uses comparison samplers to sample from a depth texture to render shadows.
