# textureQueryLod

## Name

textureQueryLod — compute the level-of-detail that would be used to sample from a texture

## Declaration

`vec2 textureQueryLod(` | gsampler1D sampler,
| float P`)`;

`vec2 textureQueryLod(` | gsampler2D sampler,
| vec2 P`)`;

`vec2 textureQueryLod(` | gsampler3D sampler,
| vec3 P`)`;

`vec2 textureQueryLod(` | gsamplerCube sampler,
| vec3 P`)`;

`vec2 textureQueryLod(` | gsampler1DArray sampler,
| float P`)`;

`vec2 textureQueryLod(` | gsampler2DDArray sampler,
| vec2 P`)`;

`vec2 textureQueryLod(` | gsamplerCubeArray sampler,
| vec3 P`)`;

`vec2 textureQueryLod(` | sampler1DShadow sampler,
| float P`)`;

`vec2 textureQueryLod(` | sampler2DShadow sampler,
| vec2 P`)`;

`vec2 textureQueryLod(` | samplerCubeShadow sampler,
| vec3 P`)`;

`vec2 textureQueryLod(` | sampler1DArrayShadow sampler,
| float P`)`;

`vec2 textureQueryLod(` | sampler2DArrayShadow sampler,
| vec2 P`)`;

`vec2 textureQueryLod(` | samplerCubeArrayShadow sampler,
| vec3 P`)`;

## Parameters

`sampler`

  Specifies the sampler to which the texture whose level-of-detail will be queried is bound.

`P`

  Specifies the texture coordinates at which the level-of-detail will be queried.

## Description

Available only in the fragment shader, `textureQueryLod` computes the level-of-detail that would be used to sample from a texture. The mipmap array(s) that would be accessed is returned in the x component of the return value. The computed level-of-detail relative to the base level is returned in the y component of the return value.

If called on an incomplete texture, the result of the operation is undefined.
