Overview

    This extension defines a new resource type that is suitable for
    sharing 2D arrays of image data between client APIs.

New Procedures and Functions

  GLuint CreateImageCHROMIUM(ClientBuffer buffer,
                             GLsizei width,
                             GLsizei height,
                             GLenum internalformat)

    Create an image from <buffer> with width equal to <width> and
    height equal to <height> and format equal to <internalformat>.

    Returns a unique identifier for the image that could be used in
    subsequent operations.

    INVALID_VALUE is generated if <width> or <height> is nonpositive.

    INVALID_VALUE is generated if <internalformat> is not one of
    RED, RGB, RGBA, BGRA_EXT, ATC_RGB_AMD, ATC_RGBA_INTERPOLATED_ALPHA_AMD,
    COMPRESSED_RGB_S3TC_DXT1_EXT, COMPRESSED_RGBA_S3TC_DXT5_EXT or
    ETC1_RGB8_OES.

  void DestroyImageCHROMIUM(GLuint image_id)

    Frees the image previously created by a call to CreateImageCHROMIUM.

    INVALID_OPERATION is generated if <image_id> is not a valid image id.

  void BindTexImage2DCHROMIUM(GLenum target, GLint image_id)

    Binds the texture object currently bound to <target> to the image
    <image_id> previously created by a call to CreateImageCHROMIUM.

    INVALID_OPERATION is generated if no texture is bound to <target>.

    INVALID_OPERATION is generated if <image_id> is not a valid image id.

  void BindTexImage2DWithInternalformatCHROMIUM(GLenum target,
                                                GLenum internalformat,
                                                GLint image_id)

    Behaves exactly like BindTexImage2DCHROMIUM, but forces the
    texture to use the specified <internalformat> rather than the
    default one. This function is provided solely as a workaround for
    driver bugs on some platforms. BindTexImage2DCHROMIUM should be
    used by almost all users.

  void ReleaseTexImage2DCHROMIUM(GLenum target, GLint image_id)

    Unbinds the texture object bound to <target> from the image
    <image_id> previously created by a call to CreateImageCHROMIUM. If
    the texture is not currently bound to the image, has no effect,
    though may still generate errors.

    INVALID_OPERATION is generated if no texture is bound to <target>.

    INVALID_OPERATION is generated if <image_id> is not a valid image id.

    If EXT_texture_compression_s3tc is not supported:
     * delete any reference to the COMPRESSED_RGB_S3TC_DXT1_EXT and
       COMPRESSED_RGBA_S3TC_DXT5_EXT formats.

Dependencies on OES_compressed_ETC1_RGB8_texture
