+Texture fetching
+*******************************************************************************
+
+`Textures <../doxygen/html/group___texture.html>`_ are more than just a buffer interpreted as a 1D, 2D, or 3D array.
+
+As textures are associated with graphics, they are indexed using floating-point values. The index can be in the range of [0 to size-1] or [0 to 1].
+
+Depending on the index, texture sampling or texture addressing is performed, which decides the return value.
+
+**Texture sampling**: When a texture is indexed with a fraction, the queried value is often between two or more texels (texture elements). The sampling method defines what value to return in such cases.
+
+**Texture addressing**: Sometimes, the index is outside the bounds of the texture. This condition might look like a problem but helps to put a texture on a surface multiple times or to create a visible sign of out-of-bounds indexing, in computer graphics. The addressing mode defines what value to return when indexing a texture out of bounds.
+
+The different sampling and addressing modes are described in the following sections.
+
+Here is the sample texture used in this document for demonstration purposes. It is 2x2 texels and indexed in the [0 to 1] range.

+
+Texture sampling
+===============================================================================
+
+Texture sampling handles the usage of fractional indices. It is the method that describes, which nearby values will be used, and how they are combined into the resulting value.
+
+The various texture sampling methods are discussed in the following sections.
+
+.. _texture_fetching_nearest:
+Nearest point sampling
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+In this method, the modulo of index is calculated as:
+
+``tex(x) = T[floor(x)]``
+
+This is also applicable for 2D and 3D variants.
+
+This doesn't interpolate between neighboring values, which results in a pixelated look.
+
+The following image shows a texture stretched to a 4x4 pixel quad but still indexed in the [0 to 1] range. The in-between values are the same as the values of the nearest texel.
+
+.. figure:: ../data/understand/textures/nearest.png
+  :width: 300
+  :alt: Texture upscaled with nearest point sampling
+  :align: center
+
+  Texture upscaled with nearest point sampling
+
+.. _texture_fetching_linear:
+Linear filtering
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+The linear filtering method does a linear interpolation between values. Linear interpolation is used to create a linear transition between two values. The formula used is ``(1-t)P1 + tP2`` where ``P1`` and ``P2`` are the values and ``t`` is within the [0 to 1] range.
+
+In the case of texture sampling the following formulas are used:
+
+* For one dimensional textures: ``tex(x) = (1-α)T[i] + αT[i+1]``
+* For two dimensional textures: ``tex(x,y) = (1-α)(1-β)T[i,j] + α(1-β)T[i+1,j] + (1-α)βT[i,j+1] + αβT[i+1,j+1]``
+* For three dimensional textures: ``tex(x,y,z) = (1-α)(1-β)(1-γ)T[i,j,k] + α(1-β)(1-γ)T[i+1,j,k] + (1-α)β(1-γ)T[i,j+1,k] + αβ(1-γ)T[i+1,j+1,k] + (1-α)(1-β)γT[i,j,k+1] + α(1-β)γT[i+1,j,k+1] + (1-α)βγT[i,j+1,k+1] + αβγT[i+1,j+1,k+1]``
+
+Where x, y, and, z are the floating-point indices. i, j, and, k are the integer indices and, α, β, and, γ values represent how far along the sampled point is on the three axes. These values are calculated by these formulas: ``i = floor(x')``, ``α = frac(x')``, ``x' = x - 0.5``, ``j = floor(y')``, ``β = frac(y')``, ``y' = y - 0.5``, ``k = floor(z')``, ``γ = frac(z')`` and ``z' = z - 0.5``
+
+This following image shows a texture stretched out to a 4x4 pixel quad, but still indexed in the [0 to 1] range. The in-between values are interpolated between the neighboring texels.

+
+Texture addressing
+===============================================================================
+
+Texture addressing mode handles the index that is out of bounds of the texture. This mode describes which values of the texture or a preset value to use when the index is out of bounds.
+
+The following sections describe the various texture addressing methods.
+
+.. _texture_fetching_border:
+Address mode border
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+In this method, the texture fetching returns a border value when indexing out of bounds. The border value must be set before texture fetching.
+
+The following image shows the texture on a 4x4 pixel quad, indexed in the [0 to 3] range. The out-of-bounds values are the border color, which is yellow.
+
+.. figure:: ../data/understand/textures/border.png

+  :alt: Texture with yellow border color
+  :align: center
+
+  Texture with yellow border color.
+
+The purple lines are not part of the texture. They only denote the edge, where the addressing begins.
+
+.. _texture_fetching_clamp:
+Address mode clamp
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+This mode clamps the index between [0 to size-1]. Due to this, when indexing out-of-bounds, the values on the edge of the texture repeat. The clamp mode is the default addressing mode.
+
+The following image shows the texture on a 4x4 pixel quad, indexed in the [0 to 3] range. The out-of-bounds values are repeating the values at the edge of the texture.
+
+.. figure:: ../data/understand/textures/clamp.png

+  :alt: Texture with clamp addressing
+  :align: center
+
+  Texture with clamp addressing
+
+The purple lines are not part of the texture. They only denote the edge, where the addressing begins.
+
+.. _texture_fetching_wrap:
+Address mode wrap
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Wrap mode addressing is only available for normalized texture coordinates. In this addressing mode, the fractional part of the index is used:
+
+``tex(frac(x))``
+
+This creates a repeating image effect.
+
+The following image shows the texture on a 4x4 pixel quad, indexed in the [0 to 3] range. The out-of-bounds values are repeating the original texture.
+
+.. figure:: ../data/understand/textures/wrap.png

+  :alt: Texture with wrap addressing
+  :align: center
+
+  Texture with wrap addressing.
+
+The purple lines are not part of the texture. They only denote the edge, where the addressing begins.
+
+.. _texture_fetching_mirror:
+Address mode mirror
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Similar to the wrap mode the mirror mode is only available for normalized texture coordinates and also creates a repeating image, but mirroring the neighboring instances.
+
+The formula is the following:
+
+``tex(frac(x))``, if ``floor(x)`` is even, 
+
+``tex(1 - frac(x))``, if ``floor(x)`` is odd.
+
+The following image shows the texture on a 4x4 pixel quad, indexed in the [0 to 3] range. The out-of-bounds values are repeating the original texture, but mirrored.
+
+.. figure:: ../data/understand/textures/mirror.png
