SampleBias (DirectX HLSL Texture Object)

Samples a texture, after applying the input bias to the mipmap level.

<Template Type> Object.SampleBias( sampler_state S, float Location, float Bias [, int Offset] );

Parameters

Item	Description
Object	Any texture-object type (except Texture2DMS and Texture2DMSArray).
S	[in] A Sampler state. This is an object declared in an effect file that contains state assignments.
Location	[in] The texture coordinates. The argument type is dependent on the texture-object type. Texture-Object Type Parameter Type Texture1D float Texture1DArray, Texture2D float2 Texture2DArray, Texture3D, TextureCube float3 TextureCubeArray float4
Bias	[in] The bias value, which is a floating-point number between -16.0 and 15.99, is applied to a mip level before sampling.
Offset	[in] An optional texture coordinate offset, which can be used for any texture-object type; the offset is applied to the location before sampling. The texture offsets need to be static. The argument type is dependent on the texture-object type. For more info, see Applying texture coordinate offsets. Texture-Object Type Parameter Type Texture1D, Texture1DArray int Texture2D, Texture2DArray int2 Texture3D int3 TextureCube, TextureCubeArray not supported

Return Value

The texture's template type, which may be a single- or multi-component vector. The format is based on the texture's DXGI_FORMAT.
