Detailed Description

Interface used to provide generic access to the bitmap aperture.

This class abstracts the access mechanism to the bitmap aperture, such that we have no direct dependency to class Texmap. If the client is implementing this interface from a Max SDK plugin, then it may provide direct access to the contents of the Texmap, baked using Texmap::RenderBitmap. But if the client is calling the sampler from a shader that doesn't have access to the Max SDK, then it should access the texmap using whatever facilities are exposed by the shading API.
