The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft DirectX 3 Software Development Kit, version 3.0

A mipmap is a sequence of textures, each of which is a representation of the same image at varying resolutions. The sequence of textures in a mipmap are progressively lower in resolution and each image in the mipmap is a power of two smaller than the previous level. The Mipmap.exe sample demonstrates how to create and use a mipmapped sequence of textures in the Hardware Emulation Layer.

For a demonstration on how to create a mipmapped sequence of textures in the HAL (on 3D hardware that supports mipmaps), please look at the following article:
