# setSamplerStates(_:range:) Encodes multiple texture samplers to the sampler argument table, allowing compute kernels to use them for sampling textures on the GPU. ``` func setSamplerStates(_ samplers: [(any MTLSamplerState)?], range: Range) ``` ## Parameters `samplers` An array of [`MTLSamplerState`](/documentation/Metal/MTLSamplerState) instance to bind to the sampler argument table. `range` The sampler table indicies to bind each of the `samplers` to, in the order they appear. ## Discussion> Warning: > This method requires that the number of instances in `samplers` be the same as the length of `range`. --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
