## Texture2D
|
|
Retrieves texels from a texture
|
|
|
|
### Declaration
|
|
```glsl
|
|
vec4 texture2D(sampler2D sampler, vec2 coord)
|
|
vec4 texture2D(sampler2D sampler, vec2 coord, float bias)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Parameters
|
|
```sampler``` specifies the sampler to which the texture from which texels will be retrieved is bound.
|
|
|
|
```coord``` specifies the texture coordinates at which texture will be sampled.
|
|
|
|
```bias``` specifies an optional bias to be applied during level-of-detail computation.
|
|
|
|
### Description
|
|
The texture2D function returns a texel, i.e. the (color) value of the texture for the given coordinates. The function has one input parameter of the type sampler2D and one input parameter of the type ```vec2``` : sampler, the uniform the texture is bound to, and coord, the 2-dimensional coordinates of the texel to look up.
|
|
|
|
There is an optional third input parameter of the type float: bias. After calculating the appropriate level of detail for a texture with mipmaps the bias is added before the actual texture lookup operation is executed.
|
|
|
|
Side note: On iOS devices texture lookup functionality is only available in the fragment shader.
