EXTSamplerFilterMinmax (LWJGL 3.2.3 - Vulkan)

java.lang.Object
- org.lwjgl.vulkan.EXTSamplerFilterMinmax

```
public final class EXTSamplerFilterMinmax
extends java.lang.Object
```
In unextended Vulkan, minification and magnification filters such as LINEAR allow sampled image lookups to return a filtered texel value produced by computing a weighted average of a collection of texels in the neighborhood of the texture coordinate provided.
This extension provides a new sampler parameter which allows applications to produce a filtered texel value by computing a component-wise minimum (MIN) or maximum (MAX) of the texels that would normally be averaged. The reduction mode is orthogonal to the minification and magnification filter parameters. The filter parameters are used to identify the set of texels used to produce a final filtered value; the reduction mode identifies how these texels are combined.

    Description
    
    SAMPLER_REDUCTION_MODE_WEIGHTED_AVERAGE_EXT specifies that texel values are combined by computing a weighted average of values in the footprint, using weights as specified in the image operations chapter.
    
    SAMPLER_REDUCTION_MODE_MIN_EXT specifies that texel values are combined by taking the component-wise minimum of values in the footprint with non-zero weights.
    
    SAMPLER_REDUCTION_MODE_MAX_EXT specifies that texel values are combined by taking the component-wise maximum of values in the footprint with non-zero weights.
