+Shader Resources
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Shader resources are textures or buffers that may be read or written
+from a shader without an associated sampler. This means that they
+have no support for floating point coordinates, address wrap modes or
+filtering.
+
+Shader resources are specified for all the shader stages at once using
+the ``set_shader_resources`` method. When binding texture resources,
+the ``level``, ``first_layer`` and ``last_layer`` pipe_surface fields
+specify the mipmap level and the range of layers the texture will be
+constrained to. In the case of buffers, ``first_element`` and
+``last_element`` specify the range within the buffer that will be used
+by the shader resource.
