To create one, specify +its format, swizzle and LOD range in sampler view template. + +If texture format is different than template format, it is said the texture +is being cast to another format. Casting can be done only between compatible +formats, that is formats that have matching component order and sizes. + +Swizzle fields specify they way in which fetched texel components are placed +in the result register. For example, swizzle_r specifies what is going to be +placed in destination register x (AKA r). + +first_level and last_level fields of sampler view template specify the LOD +range the texture is going to be constrained to. + +* ``set_fragment_sampler_views`` binds an array of sampler views to + fragment shader stage.
