Number

    OpenGL ES Extension #223
    OpenGL Extension #555

Dependencies

    OpenGL ES 3.0 or OpenGL 1.2 is required.

    This extension is written against the OpenGL ES 3.1 and
    OpenGL 4.6 (Core Profile) specifications.

    This extension interacts with ARB_texture_view.

    This extension interacts with EXT_texture_view.

    This extension interacts with OES_texture_view.

    This extension interacts with ARB_direct_state_access.

Overview

    This extension introduces SRG8_EXT as an acceptable internal format.
    This allows efficient sRGB sampling for source images stored with 2
    channels.

New Procedures and Functions

    None

New Tokens

    Accepted by the <internalformat> parameters of TexImage3D, TexImage2D,
    TexImage1D, TexStorage3D, TexStorage2D, TexStorage1D, TextureStorage3D,
    TextureStorage2D, and TextureStorage1D:

        SRG8_EXT    0x8FBE

Dependencies on OpenGL
        
    If OpenGL is not supported, ignore all references to 1D textures,
    including TexImage1D, TexStorage1D, and TextureStorage1D.
    
Dependencies on OpenGL 4.5 and ARB_direct_state_access

    If neither OpenGL 4.5 nor ARB_direct_state_access are supported,
    ignore all references to TextureStorage3D, TextureStorage2D, and
    TextureStorage1D.

Dependencies on ARB_texture_view

    If ARB_texture_view is supported, add SRG8_EXT to the Internal formats
    column of the VIEW_CLASS_16_BITS row in Table 3.X.2.

Dependencies on EXT_texture_view

    If EXT_texture_view is supported, add SRG8_EXT to the Internal formats
    column of the VIEW_CLASS_16_BITS row in Table 8.X.2.

Dependencies on OES_texture_view

    If OES_texture_view is supported, add SRG8_EXT to the Internal formats
    column of the VIEW_CLASS_16_BITS row in Table 8.X.2.
