Description

GL_PACK_ROW_LENGTH

If greater than 0, GL_PACK_ROW_LENGTH defines the number of pixels in a row. If the first pixel of a row is placed at location $\mathit{p}$ in memory, then the location of the first pixel of the next row is obtained by skipping

$\mathit{k}=\left\{\begin{array}{c}\mathit{n}\mathit{l}\\ \frac{\mathit{a}}{\mathit{s}}\frac{\mathit{s}\mathit{n}\mathit{l}}{\mathit{a}}\end{array}\begin{array}{c}\mathit{s}>=\mathit{a}\\ \mathit{s}<\mathit{a}\end{array}\right.$

components or indices, where $\mathit{n}$ is the number of components or indices in a pixel, $\mathit{l}$ is the number of pixels in a row ( GL_PACK_ROW_LENGTH if it is greater than 0, the $\mathit{width}$ argument to the pixel routine otherwise), $\mathit{a}$ is the value of GL_PACK_ALIGNMENT , and $\mathit{s}$ is the size, in bytes, of a single component (if $\mathit{a}<\mathit{s}$ , then it is as if $\mathit{a}=\mathit{s}$ ). In the case of 1-bit values, the location of the next row is obtained by skipping

$\mathit{k}=8\mathit{a}\frac{\mathit{n}\mathit{l}}{8\mathit{a}}$

components or indices.

The word component in this description refers to the nonindex values red, green, blue, alpha, and depth. Storage format GL_RGB , for example, has three components per pixel: first red, then green, and finally blue.

GL_PACK_SKIP_PIXELS and GL_PACK_SKIP_ROWS

These values are provided as a convenience to the programmer; they provide no functionality that cannot be duplicated simply by incrementing the pointer passed to glReadPixels . Setting GL_PACK_SKIP_PIXELS to $\mathit{i}$ is equivalent to incrementing the pointer by $\mathit{i}\mathit{n}$ components or indices, where $\mathit{n}$ is the number of components or indices in each pixel. Setting GL_PACK_SKIP_ROWS to $\mathit{j}$ is equivalent to incrementing the pointer by $\mathit{j}\mathit{m}$ components or indices, where $\mathit{m}$ is the number of components or indices per row, as just computed in the GL_PACK_ROW_LENGTH section.

GL_PACK_ALIGNMENT

Specifies the alignment requirements for the start of each pixel row in memory. The allowable values are 1 (byte-alignment), 2 (rows aligned to even-numbered bytes), 4 (word-alignment), and 8 (rows start on double-word boundaries).

GL_UNPACK_ROW_LENGTH

If greater than 0, GL_UNPACK_ROW_LENGTH defines the number of pixels in a row. If the first pixel of a row is placed at location $\mathit{p}$ in memory, then the location of the first pixel of the next row is obtained by skipping

$\mathit{k}=\left\{\begin{array}{c}\mathit{n}\mathit{l}\\ \frac{\mathit{a}}{\mathit{s}}\frac{\mathit{s}\mathit{n}\mathit{l}}{\mathit{a}}\end{array}\begin{array}{c}\mathit{s}>=\mathit{a}\\ \mathit{s}<\mathit{a}\end{array}\right.$

components or indices, where $\mathit{n}$ is the number of components or indices in a pixel, $\mathit{l}$ is the number of pixels in a row ( GL_UNPACK_ROW_LENGTH if it is greater than 0, the $\mathit{width}$ argument to the pixel routine otherwise), $\mathit{a}$ is the value of GL_UNPACK_ALIGNMENT , and $\mathit{s}$ is the size, in bytes, of a single component (if $\mathit{a}<\mathit{s}$ , then it is as if $\mathit{a}=\mathit{s}$ ). In the case of 1-bit values, the location of the next row is obtained by skipping

$\mathit{k}=8\mathit{a}\frac{\mathit{n}\mathit{l}}{8\mathit{a}}$

components or indices.

The word component in this description refers to the nonindex values red, green, blue, alpha, and depth. Storage format GL_RGB , for example, has three components per pixel: first red, then green, and finally blue.

GL_UNPACK_IMAGE_HEIGHT

If greater than 0, GL_UNPACK_IMAGE_HEIGHT defines the number of pixels in an image of a three-dimensional texture volume. Where ``image'' is defined by all pixel sharing the same third dimension index. If the first pixel of a row is placed at location $\mathit{p}$ in memory, then the location of the first pixel of the next row is obtained by skipping

$\mathit{k}=\left\{\begin{array}{c}\mathit{n}\mathit{l}\mathit{h}\\ \frac{\mathit{a}}{\mathit{s}}\frac{\mathit{s}\mathit{n}\mathit{l}\mathit{h}}{\mathit{a}}\end{array}\begin{array}{c}\mathit{s}>=\mathit{a}\\ \mathit{s}<\mathit{a}\end{array}\right.$

components or indices, where $\mathit{n}$ is the number of components or indices in a pixel, $\mathit{l}$ is the number of pixels in a row ( GL_UNPACK_ROW_LENGTH if it is greater than 0, the $\mathit{width}$ argument to glTexImage3D otherwise), $\mathit{h}$ is the number of rows in an image ( GL_UNPACK_IMAGE_HEIGHT if it is greater than 0, the $\mathit{height}$ argument to glTexImage3D otherwise), $\mathit{a}$ is the value of GL_UNPACK_ALIGNMENT , and $\mathit{s}$ is the size, in bytes, of a single component (if $\mathit{a}<\mathit{s}$ , then it is as if $\mathit{a}=\mathit{s}$ ).

The word component in this description refers to the nonindex values red, green, blue, alpha, and depth. Storage format GL_RGB , for example, has three components per pixel: first red, then green, and finally blue.

GL_UNPACK_SKIP_PIXELS , GL_UNPACK_SKIP_ROWS and GL_UNPACK_SKIP_IMAGES

These values are provided as a convenience to the programmer; they provide no functionality that cannot be duplicated by incrementing the pointer passed to glTexImage1D , glTexImage2D , glTexSubImage1D or glTexSubImage2D . Setting GL_UNPACK_SKIP_PIXELS to $\mathit{i}$ is equivalent to incrementing the pointer by $\mathit{i}\mathit{n}$ components or indices, where $\mathit{n}$ is the number of components or indices in each pixel. Setting GL_UNPACK_SKIP_ROWS to $\mathit{j}$ is equivalent to incrementing the pointer by $\mathit{j}\mathit{k}$ components or indices, where $\mathit{k}$ is the number of components or indices per row, as just computed in the GL_UNPACK_ROW_LENGTH section. Setting GL_UNPACK_SKIP_IMAGES to $\mathit{k}$ is equivalent to incrementing the pointer by $\mathit{k}\mathit{p}$ , where $\mathit{p}$ is the number of components or indices per image, as computed in the GL_UNPACK_IMAGE_HEIGHT section.

GL_UNPACK_ALIGNMENT

Specifies the alignment requirements for the start of each pixel row in memory. The allowable values are 1 (byte-alignment), 2 (rows aligned to even-numbered bytes), 4 (word-alignment), and 8 (rows start on double-word boundaries).
