Detailed Description

Represents a graphics platform independent GPU texture view resource. Texture Views should be created via Hgi::CreateTextureView.

A TextureView aliases the data of another texture and is a thin wrapper around a HgiTextureHandle. The embeded texture handle is used to add the texture to resource bindings for use in shaders.

For example when using a compute shader to fill the mip levels of a texture, like a lightDome texture, we can use a texture view to give the shader access to a specific mip level of a sourceTexture via a TextureView.

Another example is to conserve resources by reusing a RGBAF32 texture as a RGBAI32 texture once the F32 texture is no longer needed (transient resources).
