TextureBinder (gdx 1.12.1 API)

All Known Implementing Classes:

DefaultTextureBinder
```
public interface TextureBinder
```
Responsible for binding textures, may implement a strategy to avoid binding a texture unnecessarily. A TextureBinder may decide to which texture unit it binds a texture.

Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`void`	`begin()`	Prepares the binder for operation, must be matched with a call to `end()`.
`int`	`bind(TextureDescriptor textureDescriptor)`	Binds the texture to an available unit and applies the filters in the descriptor.
`int`	`bind(GLTexture texture)`	Binds the texture to an available unit.
`void`	`end()`	Disables all used texture units and unbinds textures.
`int`	`getBindCount()`
`int`	`getReuseCount()`
`void`	`resetCounts()`	Resets the bind/reuse counts

- Method Detail
  - begin
```
void begin()
```
    Prepares the binder for operation, must be matched with a call to end().
  - end
```
void end()
```
    Disables all used texture units and unbinds textures. Resets the counts.
  - bind
```
int bind(TextureDescriptor textureDescriptor)
```
    Binds the texture to an available unit and applies the filters in the descriptor.
    
    Parameters:
    
    textureDescriptor - the TextureDescriptor
    
    Returns:
    
    the unit the texture was bound to
  - bind
```
int bind(GLTexture texture)
```
    Binds the texture to an available unit.
    
    Parameters:
    
    texture - the Texture
    
    Returns:
    
    the unit the texture was bound to
  - getBindCount
```
int getBindCount()
```
    Returns:
    
    the number of binds actually executed since the last call to resetCounts()
  - getReuseCount
```
int getReuseCount()
```
    Returns:
    
    the number of binds that could be avoided by reuse
  - resetCounts
```
void resetCounts()
```
    Resets the bind/reuse counts
