VKSAMPLERADDRESSMODEMIRROREDREPEAT

VKSAMPLERADDRESSMODEMIRROREDREPEAT is a texture addressing mode used in Vulkan, a low-level graphics and compute API. This mode is similar to VK_SAMPLER_ADDRESS_MODE_REPEAT, but with a key difference in how it handles texture coordinates outside the [0, 1] range. When using VK_SAMPLER_ADDRESS_MODE_REPEAT, texture coordinates are wrapped around using modulo arithmetic, causing the texture to repeat. In contrast, VK_SAMPLER_ADDRESS_MODE_MIRRORED_REPEAT mirrors the texture at every integer junction. This means that as the texture coordinate moves beyond 1, it is mirrored back towards 0, and vice versa. This creates a seamless, mirrored repetition of the texture. This mode is particularly useful for creating tiled patterns or seamless textures in applications such as game development and computer graphics. It is important to note that the availability of this addressing mode may depend on the specific hardware and driver support.
