Texture and Sampler
Vertex Shader
World View Projection
Some snippets, like the texture and sampler declaration, show a highlighted set of fields. If you
change the variable name in any of these fields, they will all be updated simultaneously. An
example is shown below.

Creating Custom Snippets
Snippet definitions are stored in snippets.xml, which is located at:
C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\FX Composer 2.5\Plugins\Services
The structure of a snippet declaration is as follows:
Put your macro name here
Shortcut text for macro
Description for snippet selection UI widget
Code to be automatically inserted
cgfx or fx – you must have a separate declaration per language
Here is the sample code for the “Texture and Sampler” snippet shown in Figure 9:

MagFilter = Linear;
