OpenGL ES Extension #112
|
|
|
|
Dependencies
|
|
|
|
This extension is written against the OpenGL ES 2.0 Specification.
|
|
|
|
Overview
|
|
|
|
In some implementations it is advantageous to know the expected
|
|
usage of a texture before the backing storage for it is allocated.
|
|
This can help to inform the implementation's choice of format
|
|
and type of memory used for the allocation. If the usage is not
|
|
known in advance, the implementation essentially has to make a
|
|
guess as to how it will be used. If it is later proven wrong,
|
|
it may need to perform costly re-allocations and/or reformatting
|
|
of the texture data, resulting in reduced performance.
|
|
|
|
This extension adds a texture usage flag that is specified via
|
|
the TEXTURE_USAGE_ANGLE TexParameter. This can be used to
|
|
indicate that the application knows that this texture will be
|
|
used for rendering.
|
|

New Procedures and Functions
|
|
|
|
None
|
|
|
|
New Tokens
|
|
|
|
Accepted as a value for <pname> for the TexParameter{if} and
|
|
TexParameter{if}v commands and for the <value> parameter of
|
|
GetTexParameter{if}v:
|
|
|
|
TEXTURE_USAGE_ANGLE 0x93A2
|
|
|
|
Accepted as a value to <param> for the TexParameter{if} and
|
|
to <params> for the TexParameter{if}v commands with a <pname> of
|
|
TEXTURE_USAGE_ANGLE; returned as possible values for <data> when
|
|
GetTexParameter{if}v is queried with a <value> of TEXTURE_USAGE_ANGLE:
|
|
|
|
NONE 0x0000
|
|
FRAMEBUFFER_ATTACHMENT_ANGLE 0x93A3
|
|
|
|
Additions to Chapter 2 of the OpenGL ES 2.0 Specification (OpenGL ES Operation)
|
|
|
|
None
|
|
|
|
Additions to Chapter 3 of the OpenGL ES 2.0 Specification (Rasterization)
|
|
|
|
Add a new row to Table 3.10 (Texture parameters and their values):
|
|
|
|
Name | Type | Legal Values
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
TEXTURE_USAGE_ANGLE | enum | NONE, FRAMEBUFFER_ATTACHMENT_ANGLE
|
|
|
|
Add a new section 3.7.x (Texture Usage) before section 3.7.12 and
|
|
renumber the subsequent sections:
|
|
|
|
"3.7.x Texture Usage
|
|
|
|
Texture usage can be specified via the TEXTURE_USAGE_ANGLE value
|
|
for the <pname> argument to TexParameter{if}[v]. In order to take effect,
|
|
the texture usage must be specified before the texture contents are
|
|
defined either via TexImage2D or TexStorage2DEXT.
|
|
|
|
The usage values can impact the layout and type of memory used for the
|
|
texture data. Specifying incorrect usage values may result in reduced
|
|
functionality and/or significantly degraded performance.
|
|
|
|
Possible values for <params> when <pname> is TEXTURE_USAGE_ANGLE are:
|
|
|
|
NONE - the default. No particular usage has been specified and it is
|
|
up to the implementation to determine the usage of the texture.
|
|
Leaving the usage unspecified means that the implementation may
|
|
have to reallocate the texture data as the texture is used in
|
|
various ways.
|
|
|
|
FRAMEBUFFER_ATTACHMENT_ANGLE - this texture will be attached to a
|
|
framebuffer object and used as a desination for rendering or blits."
|
|
|
|
Modify section 3.7.12 (Texture State) and place the last 3 sentences
|
|
with the following:
|
|
|
|
"Next, there are the three sets of texture properties; each consists of
|
|
the selected minification and magnification filters, the wrap modes for
|
|
<s> and <t>, and the usage flags. In the initial state, the value assigned
|
|
to TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER is NEAREST_MIPMAP_LINEAR, and the value for
|
|
TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER is LINEAR. <s> and <t> wrap modes are both set to
|
|
REPEAT. The initial value for TEXTURE_USAGE_ANGLE is NONE."
|
|
|

|
|
Operations and the Framebuffer)

|
|
|
Additions to Chapter 5 of the OpenGL ES 2.0 Specification (Special
|
|

Dependencies on EXT_texture_storage
|
|
|
|
If EXT_texture_storage is not supported, omit any references to
|
|
TexStorage2DEXT.
|
|
|
|
Errors
|
|
|
|
If TexParameter{if} or TexParamter{if}v is called with a <pname>
|
|
of TEXTURE_USAGE_ANGLE and the value of <param> or <params> is not
|
|
NONE or FRAMEBUFFER_ATTACHMENT_ANGLE the error INVALID_VALUE is
|
|
generated.

|
Usage Example
|
|
|
|
/* create and bind texture */
|
|
glGenTextures(1, &texture);
|
|
glActiveTexture(GL_TEXTURE0);
|
|
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, texture);
|
|
|
|
/* specify texture parameters */
|
|
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_*, ...); /* as before */
|
|
|
|
/* specify that we'll be rendering to the texture */
|
|
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_USAGE_ANGLE, GL_FRAMEBUFFER_ATTACHMENT_ANGLE);
|
|
|
|
glTexStorage2DEXT(GL_TEXTURE_2D, levels, ...); // Allocation
|
|
for(int level = 0; level < levels; ++level)
|
|
glTexSubImage2D(GL_TEXTURE_2D, level, ...); // Initialisation
|
|
|
|
Issues
|
|
|
|
1. Should there be a dynamic usage value?
|
|
|
|
DISCUSSION: We could accept a dynamic flag to indicate that a texture will
|
|
be updated frequently. We could map this to D3D9 dynamic textures. This would
|
|
allow us to avoid creating temporary surfaces when updating the texture.
|
|
However renderable textures cannot be dynamic in D3D9, which eliminates the
|
|
primary use case for this. Furthermore, the memory usage of dynamic textures
|
|
typically increases threefold when you lock it.
|
|
|
|
2. Should the texture usage be an enum or a bitfield?
|
|
|
|
UNRESOLVED. Using a bitfield would allow combination of values to be specified.
|
|
On the other hand, if combinations are really required, additional <pnames>
|
|
could be added as necessary. Querying a bitfield via the GetTexParameter command
|
|
feels a bit odd.
|
|
|
|
3. What should happen if TEXTURE_USAGE_ANGLE is set/changed after the texture
|
|
contents have been specified?
|
|
|
|
RESOLVED: It will have no effect. However, if the texture is redefined (for
|
|
example by TexImage2D) the new allocation will use the updated usage.
|
|
GetTexParameter is used to query the value of the TEXTURE_USAGE_ANGLE
|
|
state that was last set by TexParameter for the currently bound texture, or
|
|
the default value if it has never been set. There is no way to determine the
|
|
usage that was in effect at the time the texture was defined.
