OpenGL ES Extension #53
Dependencies
GL_OES_read_format is required
The extension is written against the OpenGLES 1.0 Specification,
which in turn is based OpenGL 1.3. Thus this spec is effectively
written against OpenGL 1.3 but does not address sections explicitly
removed or reduced by OpenGL-ES 1.0.
Overview
This extension is intended to supplement the GL_OES_read_format
extension by adding support for more format/type combinations to be used
when calling ReadPixels. ReadPixels currently accepts one fixed
format/type combination (format RGBA and type UNSIGNED_BYTE) for
portability, and an implementation specific format/type combination
queried using the tokens IMPLEMENTATION_COLOR_READ_FORMAT_OES and
IMPLEMENTATION_COLOR_READ_TYPE_OES (GL_OES_read_format extension). This
extension adds the following format/type combinations to those currently
allowed to be returned by GetIntegerV:
format type
------ ----
BGRA_IMG UNSIGNED_BYTE
BGRA_IMG UNSIGNED_SHORT_4_4_4_4_REV_IMG
E.g. Calling GetIntegerv with a <pname> parameter of
IMPLEMENTATION_COLOR_READ_FORMAT_OES can now return BGRA, with the
corresponding call to GetIntegerv using a <pname> parameter of
IMPLEMENTATION_COLOR_READ_TYPE_OES returning UNSIGNED_BYTE;
