glDeleteTextures

delete named textures

Signature

glDeleteTextures( GLsizei ( n ) , const GLuint * ( textures ) )-> void
glDeleteTextures( n , textures ) 
Delete specified set of textures
    
    If array is *not* passed then `size` must be a `GLuintArray`
    compatible object which can be sized using `arraySize`, the 
    result of which will be used as size.

Parameters

VariablesDescription
n
Specifies the number of textures to be deleted.
textures
Specifies an array of textures to be deleted.

Description

glDeleteTextures deletes n textures named by the elements of the array textures . After a texture is deleted, it has no contents or dimensionality, and its name is free for reuse (for example by glGenTextures ). If a texture that is currently bound is deleted, the binding reverts to 0 (the default texture).
glDeleteTextures silently ignores 0's and names that do not correspond to existing textures.

Errors

GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated if n is negative.
