NAME

gluBuild2DMipmapLevels - builds a subset of two-dimensional mipmap levels

C SPECIFICATION

GLint gluBuild2DMipmapLevels(GLenum target, GLint internalFormat, GLsizei width, GLsizei height, GLenum format, GLenum type, GLint level, GLint base, GLint max, const void * data);

PARAMETERS

target

Specifies the target texture. Must be GLU_TEXTURE_2D.

internalFormat

Requests the internal storage format of the texture image. The most current version of the SGI implementation of GLU does not check this value for validity before passing it on to the underlying OpenGL implementation. A value that is not accepted by the OpenGL implementation will lead to an OpenGL error. The benefit of not checking this value at the GLU level is that OpenGL extensions can add new internal texture formats without requiring a revision of the GLU implementation. Older implementations of GLU check this value and raise a GLU error if it is not 1, 2, 3, or 4 or one of the following symbolic constants: GLU_ALPHA, GLU_ALPHA4, GLU_ALPHA8, GLU_ALPHA12, GLU_ALPHA16, GLU_LUMINANCE, GLU_LUMINANCE4, GLU_LUMINANCE8, GLU_LUMINANCE12, GLU_LUMINANCE16, GLU_LUMINANCE_ALPHA, GLU_LUMINANCE4_ALPHA4, GLU_LUMINANCE6_ALPHA2, GLU_LUMINANCE8_ALPHA8, GLU_LUMINANCE12_ALPHA4, GLU_LUMINANCE12_ALPHA12, GLU_LUMINANCE16_ALPHA16, GLU_INTENSITY, GLU_INTENSITY4, GLU_INTENSITY8, GLU_INTENSITY12, GLU_INTENSITY16, GLU_RGB, GLU_R3_G3_B2, GLU_RGB4, GLU_RGB5, GLU_RGB8, GLU_RGB10, GLU_RGB12, GLU_RGB16, GLU_RGBA, GLU_RGBA2, GLU_RGBA4, GLU_RGB5_A1, GLU_RGBA8, GLU_RGB10_A2, GLU_RGBA12, or GLU_RGBA16.

width, height

Specifies the width and height, respectively, in pixels of the texture image. These should be a power of 2.

format

Specifies the format of the pixel data. Must be one of GLU_COLOR_INDEX, GLU_DEPTH_COMPONENT, GLU_RED, GLU_GREEN, GLU_BLUE, GLU_ALPHA, GLU_RGB, GLU_RGBA, GLU_BGR, GLU_BGRA, GLU_LUMINANCE, or GLU_LUMINANCE_ALPHA.

type

Specifies the data type for data. Must be one of GLU_UNSIGNED_BYTE, GLU_BYTE, GLU_BITMAP, GLU_UNSIGNED_SHORT, GLU_SHORT, GLU_UNSIGNED_INT, GLU_INT, GLU_FLOAT, GLU_UNSIGNED_BYTE_3_3_2, GLU_UNSIGNED_BYTE_2_3_3_REV, GLU_UNSIGNED_SHORT_5_6_5, GLU_UNSIGNED_SHORT_5_6_5_REV, GLU_UNSIGNED_SHORT_4_4_4_4, GLU_UNSIGNED_SHORT_4_4_4_4_REV, GLU_UNSIGNED_SHORT_5_5_5_1, GLU_UNSIGNED_SHORT_1_5_5_5_REV, GLU_UNSIGNED_INT_8_8_8_8, GLU_UNSIGNED_INT_8_8_8_8_REV, GLU_UNSIGNED_INT_10_10_10_2, or GLU_UNSIGNED_INT_2_10_10_10_REV.

level

Specifies the mipmap level of the image data.

base

Specifies the minimum mipmap level to pass to glTexImage2D().

max

Specifies the maximum mipmap level to pass to glTexImage2D().

data

Specifies a pointer to the image data in memory.

DESCRIPTION

gluBuild2DMipmapLevels builds a subset of prefiltered two-dimensional texture maps of decreasing resolutions called a mipmap. This is used for the antialiasing of texture mapped primitives.

A return value of zero indicates success, otherwise a GLU error code is returned (see gluErrorString()).

A series of mipmap levels from base to max is built by decimating data in half along both dimensions until size 1 × 1 is reached. At each level, each texel in the halved mipmap level is an average of the corresponding four texels in the larger mipmap level. (In the case of rectangular images, the decimation will ultimately reach an N × 1 or 1 × N configuration. Here, two texels are averaged instead.) glTexImage2D() is called to load these mipmap levels from base to max. If max is larger than the highest mipmap level for the texture of the specified size, then a GLU error code is returned (see gluErrorString()) and nothing is loaded.

For example, if level is 2 and width is 16 and height is 8, the following levels are possible: 16 × 8, 8 × 4, 4 × 2, 2 × 1, 1 × 1. These correspond to levels 2 through 6 respectively. If base is 3 and max is 5, then only mipmap levels 8 × 4, 4 × 2, and 2 × 1 are loaded. However, if max is 7, then an error is returned and nothing is loaded since max is larger than the highest mipmap level which is, in this case, 6.

The highest mipmap level can be derived from the formula log 2 ⁡ max ⁡ width height × 2 level.

See the glTexImage1D() reference page for a description of the acceptable values for format parameter. See the glDrawPixels() reference page for a description of the acceptable values for type parameter.

NOTES

gluBuild2DMipmapLevels is only available if the GLU version is 1.3 or greater.

Formats GLU_BGR, and GLU_BGRA, and types GLU_UNSIGNED_BYTE_3_3_2, GLU_UNSIGNED_BYTE_2_3_3_REV, GLU_UNSIGNED_SHORT_5_6_5, GLU_UNSIGNED_SHORT_5_6_5_REV, GLU_UNSIGNED_SHORT_4_4_4_4, GLU_UNSIGNED_SHORT_4_4_4_4_REV, GLU_UNSIGNED_SHORT_5_5_5_1, GLU_UNSIGNED_SHORT_1_5_5_5_REV, GLU_UNSIGNED_INT_8_8_8_8, GLU_UNSIGNED_INT_8_8_8_8_REV, GLU_UNSIGNED_INT_10_10_10_2, and GLU_UNSIGNED_INT_2_10_10_10_REV are only available if the GL version is 1.2 or greater.
