Parameters

Description

Texturing maps a portion of a specified texture image onto each graphical primitive for which texturing is active. Texturing is active when the current fragment shader or vertex shader makes use of built-in texture lookup functions.

glCompressedTexImage2D defines a two-dimensional texture image or cube-map texture image using compressed image data from client memory. The texture image is decoded according to the extension specification defining the specified internalformat. OpenGL ES defines no specific compressed texture formats, but does provide a mechanism to obtain symbolic constants for such formats provided by extensions. The number of compressed texture formats supported can be obtained by querying the value of GL_NUM_COMPRESSED_TEXTURE_FORMATS. The list of specific compressed texture formats supported can be obtained by querying the value of GL_COMPRESSED_TEXTURE_FORMATS.

Notes

A GL implementation may choose to store the texture array at any internal resolution it chooses.

glCompressedTexImage2D specifies a two-dimensional or cube-map texture for the current texture unit, specified with glActiveTexture.

Errors

GL_INVALID_ENUM is generated if target is not GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_CUBE_MAP_POSITIVE_X, GL_TEXTURE_CUBE_MAP_NEGATIVE_X, GL_TEXTURE_CUBE_MAP_POSITIVE_Y, GL_TEXTURE_CUBE_MAP_NEGATIVE_Y, GL_TEXTURE_CUBE_MAP_POSITIVE_Z, or GL_TEXTURE_CUBE_MAP_NEGATIVE_Z.

GL_INVALID_ENUM is generated if internalformat is not a supported format returned in GL_COMPRESSED_TEXTURE_FORMATS.

GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated if level is less than 0.

GL_INVALID_VALUE may be generated if level is greater than ${\mathit{log}}_2\mathit{max}$, where $\mathit{max}$ is the returned value of GL_MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE when target is GL_TEXTURE_2D or GL_MAX_CUBE_MAP_TEXTURE_SIZE when target is not GL_TEXTURE_2D.

GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated if width or height is less than 0 or greater than GL_MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE when target is GL_TEXTURE_2D or GL_MAX_CUBE_MAP_TEXTURE_SIZE when target is not GL_TEXTURE_2D.

GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated if border is not 0.

GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated if imageSize is not consistent with the format, dimensions, and contents of the specified compressed image data.

GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if parameter combinations are not supported by the specific compressed internal format as specified in the specific texture compression extension.

Undefined results, including abnormal program termination, are generated if data is not encoded in a manner consistent with the extension specification defining the internal compression format.
