IMAGESAMPLES(3G)

<h1>💖 IMAGESAMPLES(3G) 💖</h1>

okay so bestie, we're in the 3G section of the manual and today's main character is imageSamples ✨ it's a lil function that tells you how many samples your image has. that's it. that's the whole vibe. let's get into it 🫶

---

<h1>✨ NAME ✨</h1>

imageSamples — return the number of samples of an image 💅

---

<h1>🎀 DECLARATION 🎀</h1>

here's exactly how you write it, no notes, copy it verbatim:

int imageSamples(gimage2DMS image);

int imageSamples(gimage2DMSArray image);

two overloads, one for each flavor of multsample image, slay 🦋

---

<h1>🌸 PARAMETERS 🌸</h1>

• image — the image you're asking about, aka the image to which the texture is bound. hand it over and it'll tell you what it knows 💖

---

<h1>🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋</h1>

imageSamples returns the number of samples per texel of the image bound to image ✨

that's literally it. per texel. not per pixel, not per vibe, per texel. iykyk 💅

---

<h1>👑 VERSION SUPPORT 👑</h1>

okay so here's the tea on which OpenGL Shading Language versions are serving this function, and the answer is basically "the new one only" 😭 the version list is 1.10, 1.20, 1.30, 1.40, 1.50, 3.30, 4.00, 4.10, 4.20, 4.30, 4.40, 4.50 and here's how imageSamples does in each:

• OpenGL Shading Language 1.10 — - (nope 🙈)
• OpenGL Shading Language 1.20 — - (nope 🙈)
• OpenGL Shading Language 1.30 — - (nope 🙈)
• OpenGL Shading Language 1.40 — - (nope 🙈)
• OpenGL Shading Language 1.50 — - (nope 🙈)
• OpenGL Shading Language 3.30 — - (nope 🙈)
• OpenGL Shading Language 4.00 — - (nope 🙈)
• OpenGL Shading Language 4.10 — - (nope 🙈)
• OpenGL Shading Language 4.20 — - (nope 🙈)
• OpenGL Shading Language 4.30 — - (nope 🙈)
• OpenGL Shading Language 4.40 — - (nope 🙈)
• OpenGL Shading Language 4.50 — ✔ ATE. periodt. 👑

so if you're on anything before 4.50, this function is giving absolutely nothing and that's on that 💀
