    enum class `Decimation` : uint32_t

      Enumeration of the various decimation filters for textures. These are used when the texture needs to minimized.

      Values:

      enumerator `None`

        No down-sampling will be performed. Data will be retrieved via the specified Texture::Interpolation filter.

      enumerator `Anisotropic`

        The texture will be down-sampled to non-square image sizes which will get used for sampling and filtering based on the angle between the normal of a textured surface and the view vector.

      enumerator `Mipmap`

        The texture will be down-sampled to square, power-of-two-sized images which will get used for sampling and filtering.

    enum class `Interpolation` : uint32_t

      Enumeration of the various interpolation filters for textures. These are used when the texture needs to be magnified.

      Values:

      enumerator `None`

        The texture coordinate will map to the closest texture samples.

      enumerator `Bilinear`

        The texture data from the four closest texture samples to a texture coordinate will be blended via a weighted average.

    enum class `Parameterization` : uint32_t

      Enumeration of the parameterization sources for textures.

      Values:

      enumerator `Cylinder`

        Use a cylindrical mapping for the texture.

      enumerator `PhysicalReflection`

        Texture Parameterization.

      enumerator `Object`

        Use the (x,y,z) coordinates for the object before transforms have been applied for the texture parameters.

      enumerator `NaturalUV`

        Use the natural mapping for meshes, NURBS surfaces and shells for the texture. For meshes, textures will be stretched in the range [0,1]. For NURBS surfaces, textures will be mapped in the range [0,(control point count - degree)]. For shells, textures will be mapped such that u=x+z and v=x+y where (x,y,z) is in object space.

      enumerator `ReflectionVector`

        Texture Parameterization.

      enumerator `SurfaceNormal`

        Texture Parameterization.

      enumerator `Sphere`

        Use a spherical mapping for the texture.

      enumerator `UV`

        Use the mapping explicitly defined on the geometry for the texture.

      enumerator `World`

        Use the (x, y, z) coordinates for the object after transforms have been applied for the texture parameters.

    enum class `Tiling` : uint32_t

      Enumeration of the tiling modes for textures.

      Values:

      enumerator `Clamp`

        The texture will get mapped normally for parameters in the range [0,1], but parameters less than 0 will be clamped to 0 and parameters greater than 1 will be clamped to 1.

      enumerator `Repeat`

        The texture will get mapped repeatedly in a modulo fashion.

      enumerator `Reflect`

        The texture will get mapped repeatedly in a modulo fashion. Every other modulo will also be inverted.

      enumerator `Trim`

        The texture will get mapped normally for parameters in the range [0,1], but parameters outside that range will act as if the texture at that location is transparent.
