VKSAMPLERADDRESSMODEREPEAT

VKSAMPLERADDRESSMODEREPEAT is a specific mode used in Vulkan, a low-overhead, cross-platform 3D graphics and compute API. This mode is part of the Vulkan API's sampler address mode, which determines how texture coordinates outside the range [0, 1] are handled during texture sampling. The VK_SAMPLER_ADDRESS_MODE_REPEAT mode causes the texture to repeat its pattern when the texture coordinates exceed the range [0, 1]. This is achieved by wrapping the texture coordinates back to the start of the texture, creating a seamless, tiling effect. This mode is particularly useful for creating patterns, such as tiling textures, and for generating procedural textures. It is important to note that while VK_SAMPLER_ADDRESS_MODE_REPEAT is straightforward to implement, it may introduce artifacts at the seams where the texture repeats, especially if the texture does not align perfectly. Developers should consider these potential issues when using this mode.
