# textureType

The texture type value that specifies how the underlying texture organizes its views.

```
var textureType: MTLTextureType { get }
```

## Discussion

A texture might store the content of one view or multiple views.
For example, a single texture might store one or both views for the left and right eyes of a head-mounted display.
The texture type indicates this content organization strategy.
