        <h2>Notes</h2>
        <p>
           A sampler object describes how to sample an image when the
          image is read in the kernel.  The built-in functions to read from an image in a kernel
          take a sampler as an argument.  The sampler arguments to the image read function can
          be sampler objects created using OpenCL functions and passed as argument values to
          the kernel or can be samplers declared inside a kernel. In this section we discuss
          how sampler objects are created using OpenCL functions.
        </p>
