gDPSetTextureFilter

Format
#include "gbi.h"

gDPSetTextureFilter(Gfx *gdl,
   unsigned int type)
gsDPSetTextureFilter(unsigned int type)
Arguments
  • gdl is the pointer to the graphics display list
  • mode is type of filter (G_TF_POINT, G_TF_AVERAGE, or G_TF_BILERP)
What This Macro Does
It sets the type of filter used when sampling a texture tile:
  • G_TF_POINT point samples the texture tile. The closest texel to the screen pixel center is selected.
  • G_TF_AVERAGE configures the TF to do a box filter on the four texels surrounding the pixel center.
  • G_TF_BILERP configures the TF to do a bilinear filter on the 4 texels surrounding the pixel center. Two bilinear interpolated tiles can be sent to the CC for another linear interpolation to do a MIP map filter. As an optimization, the TF does not perform a true bilinear interpolation; it linearly interpolates the three closest texels.
