# setSamplerStates:lodMinClamps:lodMaxClamps:withRange: Encodes multiple texture samplers with custom levels of detail clamping, allowing compute kernels to use them for sampling textures on the GPU. ``` - (void) setSamplerStates:(id const[]) samplers lodMinClamps:(const float[]) lodMinClamps lodMaxClamps:(const float[]) lodMaxClamps withRange:(NSRange) range; ``` ## Parameters `samplers` An array of [`MTLSamplerState`](/documentation/Metal/MTLSamplerState) instances to bind to the sampler argument table. `lodMinClamps` An array of minimum levels of detail to use for the corresponding sampler in the `samplers` array. `lodMaxClamps` An array of maximum levels of detail to use for the corresponding sampler in the `samplers` array. `range` The sampler table indicies to bind each of the `samplers` to, in the order they appear. ## Discussion> Important: > This method requires that the lengths of `samplers`, `lodMinClamps`, and `lodMaxClamps` be the same as the length of `range`. Calling this method ignores the [`lodMinClamp`](/documentation/Metal/MTLSamplerDescriptor/lodMinClamp) and [`lodMaxClamp`](/documentation/Metal/MTLSamplerDescriptor/lodMaxClamp) properties of the samplers, using the provided levels of detail instead. --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
