<a class="citerefentry" href="read_image.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">read_image</span></span></a> calls to image memory objects declared with the <a class="citerefentry" href="accessQualifiers.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">__write_only</span></span></a> qualifier will
generate a compilation error. <a class="citerefentry" href="read_image.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">read_image</span></span></a> 
and <a class="citerefentry" href="write_image.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">write_image</span></span></a> calls to the same image memory
object in a kernel are not supported.

        <p>
The <a class="citerefentry" href="read_image.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">read_image</span></span></a> calls returns a four component floating-point, integer or unsigned integer color
value. The color values returned by <a class="citerefentry" href="read_image.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">read_image</span></span></a> are identified as <em class="replaceable"><code>x, y, z, w</code></em> where <em class="replaceable"><code>x</code></em> refers to
the red component, <em class="replaceable"><code>y</code></em> refers to the green component, <em class="replaceable"><code>z</code></em> refers to the blue component and <em class="replaceable"><code>w</code></em> refers to the alpha component.
        </p>
        <p>
        The image read functions take a sampler argument. The sampler can be passed as an argument
to the kernel using <a class="citerefentry" href="clSetKernelArg.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">clSetKernelArg</span></span></a>, or it can be a constant variable of type <a class="citerefentry" href="sampler_t.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">sampler_t</span></span></a> declared in the program source.
