Sets the mipmap filter mode for a Texture. Prior to [[11.0]] this method only worked on [[Image]]s.

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mipmap Mipmapping] is useful when drawing a texture at a reduced scale. It can improve performance and reduce aliasing issues.

In [[0.10.0]] and newer, the texture must be [[love.graphics.newImage|created]] with the <code>mipmaps</code> flag enabled for the mipmap filter to have any effect. In versions prior to [[0.10.0]] it's best to call this method directly after creating the image with [[love.graphics.newImage]], to avoid bugs in certain graphics drivers.

Due to hardware restrictions and driver bugs, in versions prior to [[0.10.0]] images that weren't loaded from a [[CompressedData]] must have power-of-two dimensions (64x64, 512x256, etc.) to use mipmaps.

== Function ==
=== Synopsis ===
<source lang="lua">
Texture:setMipmapFilter( filtermode, sharpness )
</source>
=== Arguments ===
{{param|FilterMode|filtermode|The filter mode to use in between mipmap levels. "nearest" will often give better performance.}}
{{param|number|sharpness (0)|A positive sharpness value makes the texture use a more detailed mipmap level when drawing, at the expense of performance. A negative value does the reverse.}}
=== Returns ===
Nothing.
=== Notes ===
On mobile devices (Android and iOS), the sharpness parameter is not supported and will do nothing. You can use a custom [[Shader]] instead, and specify the mipmap sharpness in the optional third parameter to the <code>Texel</code> function in the shader (a ''negative'' value makes the texture use a more detailed mipmap level.)

In versions prior to [[0.10.0]], calling this function automatically creates mipmaps for the Image if none exist yet. If the image is [[(Image):isCompressed|compressed]] and its [[CompressedData]] has mipmap data included, it will use that.

== Function ==
Disables mipmap filtering.
=== Synopsis ===
<source lang="lua">
Texture:setMipmapFilter( )
</source>
=== Arguments ===
None.
=== Returns ===
Nothing.
