DESCRIPTION
glDrawPixels reads pixel data from memory and writes it into the frame
buffer
relative to the current raster position, provided that the raster posi-
tion is valid. Use
glRasterPos to set the current raster position; use glGet with argument
GL_CURRENT_RASTER_POSITION_VALID to determine if the specified raster
position is valid, and glGet with argument GL_CURRENT_RASTER_POSITION
to query the raster position.
Several parameters define the encoding of pixel data in memory and con-
trol the processing of the pixel data before it is placed in the frame
buffer. These parameters are set with four commands: glPixelStore,
glPixelTransfer, glPixelMap, and glPixelZoom. This reference page
describes the effects on glDrawPixels of many, but not all, of the
parameters specified by these four commands.
Data is read from pixels as a sequence of signed or unsigned bytes,
signed or unsigned shorts, signed or unsigned integers, or single-pre-
cision floating-point values, depending on type. When type is one of
GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, GL_BYTE, GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT, GL_SHORT,
GL_UNSIGNED_INT, GL_INT, or GL_FLOAT each of these bytes, shorts, inte-
gers, or floating-point values is interpreted as one color or depth
component, or one index, depending on format. When type is one of
GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE_3_3_2, GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT_5_6_5,
GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT_4_4_4_4, GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT_5_5_5_1,
GL_UNSIGNED_INT_8_8_8_8, GL_UNSIGNED_INT_10_10_10_2, each unsigned
value is interpreted as containing all the components for a single
pixel, with the color components arranged according to format. When
type is one of GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE_2_3_3_REV, GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT_5_6_5_REV,
GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT_4_4_4_4_REV, GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT_1_5_5_5_REV,
GL_UNSIGNED_INT_8_8_8_8_REV, GL_UNSIGNED_INT_2_10_10_10_REV, each
unsigned value is interpreted as containing all color components, spec-
ified by format, for a single pixel in a reversed order. Indices are
always treated individually. Color components are treated as groups of
one, two, three, or four values, again based on format. Both individual
indices and groups of components are referred to as pixels. If type is
GL_BITMAP, the data must be unsigned bytes, and format must be either
GL_COLOR_INDEX or GL_STENCIL_INDEX. Each unsigned byte is treated as
eight 1-bit pixels, with bit ordering determined by GL_UNPACK_LSB_FIRST
(see glPixelStore).
widthxheight pixels are read from memory, starting at location pixels.
By default, these pixels are taken from adjacent memory locations,
except that after all width pixels are read, the read pointer is
advanced to the next four-byte boundary. The four-byte row alignment
is specified by glPixelStore with argument GL_UNPACK_ALIGNMENT, and it
can be set to one, two, four, or eight bytes. Other pixel store param-
eters specify different read pointer advancements, both before the
first pixel is read and after all width pixels are read. See the
glPixelStore reference page for details on these options.
The widthxheight pixels that are read from memory are each operated on
in the same way, based on the values of several parameters specified by
glPixelTransfer and glPixelMap. The details of these operations, as
well as the target buffer into which the pixels are drawn, are specific
to the of the pixels, as specified by format. format can assume one
of 13 symbolic values:
GL_COLOR_INDEX
Each pixel is a single value, a color index. It is converted
to fixed-point , with an unspecified number of bits to the
right of the binary point, regardless of the memory data
type. Floating-point values convert to true fixed-point val-
ues. Signed and unsigned integer data is converted with all
fraction bits set to 0. Bitmap data convert to either 0 or
1.
Each fixed-point index is then shifted left by GL_INDEX_SHIFT
bits and added to GL_INDEX_OFFSET. If GL_INDEX_SHIFT is neg-
ative, the shift is to the right. In either case, zero bits
fill otherwise unspecified bit locations in the result.
If the GL is in RGBA mode, the resulting index is converted
to an RGBA pixel with the help of the GL_PIXEL_MAP_I_TO_R,
GL_PIXEL_MAP_I_TO_G, GL_PIXEL_MAP_I_TO_B, and
GL_PIXEL_MAP_I_TO_A tables. If the GL is in color index
mode, and if GL_MAP_COLOR is true, the index is replaced with
the value that it references in lookup table
GL_PIXEL_MAP_I_TO_I. Whether the lookup replacement of the
index is done or not, the integer part of the index is then
ANDed with 2b-1, where b is the number of bits in a color
index buffer.
The GL then converts the resulting indices or RGBA colors to
fragments by attaching the current raster position z coordi-
nate and texture coordinates to each pixel, then assigning x
and y window coordinates to the nth fragment such that
xn=xr+nmodwidth
yn=yr+|_n/width_|
where (xr,yr) is the current raster position. These pixel
fragments are then treated just like the fragments generated
by rasterizing points, lines, or polygons. Texture mapping,
fog, and all the fragment operations are applied before the
fragments are written to the frame buffer.
GL_STENCIL_INDEX
Each pixel is a single value, a stencil index. It is con-
verted to fixed-point , with an unspecified number of bits to
the right of the binary point, regardless of the memory data
type. Floating-point values convert to true fixed-point val-
ues. Signed and unsigned integer data is converted with all
fraction bits set to 0. Bitmap data convert to either 0 or
1.
Each fixed-point index is then shifted left by GL_INDEX_SHIFT
bits, and added to GL_INDEX_OFFSET. If GL_INDEX_SHIFT is
negative, the shift is to the right. In either case, zero
bits fill otherwise unspecified bit locations in the result.
If GL_MAP_STENCIL is true, the index is replaced with the
value that it references in lookup table GL_PIXEL_MAP_S_TO_S.
Whether the lookup replacement of the index is done or not,
the integer part of the index is then ANDed with 2b-1, where
b is the number of bits in the stencil buffer. The resulting
stencil indices are then written to the stencil buffer such
that the nth index is written to location
xn=xr+nmodwidth
yn=yr+|_n/width_|
where (xr,yr) is the current raster position. Only the pixel
ownership test, the scissor test, and the stencil writemask
affect these write operations.
GL_DEPTH_COMPONENT
Each pixel is a single-depth component. Floating-point data is
converted directly to an internal floating-point
with unspecified precision. Signed integer data is mapped lin-
early to the internal floating-point
such that the most positive representable integer value maps to
1.0, and the most negative representable value maps to -1.0.
Unsigned integer data is mapped similarly: the largest integer
value maps to 1.0, and 0 maps to 0.0. The resulting floating-
point depth value is then multiplied by GL_DEPTH_SCALE and added
to GL_DEPTH_BIAS. The result is clamped to the range [0,1].
The GL then converts the resulting depth components to fragments
by attaching the current raster position color or color index
and texture coordinates to each pixel, then assigning x and y
window coordinates to the nth fragment such that
xn=xr+nmodwidth
yn=yr+|_n/width_|
where (xr,yr) is the current raster position. These pixel frag-
ments are then treated just like the fragments generated by ras-
terizing points, lines, or polygons. Texture mapping, fog, and
all the fragment operations are applied before the fragments are
written to the frame buffer.
GL_RGBA
GL_BGRA
Each pixel is a four-component group: for GL_RGBA, the red com-
ponent is first, followed by green, followed by blue, followed
by alpha; for GL_BGRA the order is blue, green, red and then
alpha. Floating-point values are converted directly to an
internal floating-point
with unspecified precision. Signed integer values are mapped
linearly to the internal floating-point
such that the most positive representable integer value maps to
1.0, and the most negative representable value maps to -1.0.
(Note that this mapping does not convert 0 precisely to 0.0.)
Unsigned integer data is mapped similarly: the largest integer
value maps to 1.0, and 0 maps to 0.0. The resulting floating-
point color values are then multiplied by GL_c_SCALE and added
to GL_c_BIAS, where c is RED, GREEN, BLUE, and ALPHA for the
respective color components. The results are clamped to the
range [0,1].
If GL_MAP_COLOR is true, each color component is scaled by the
size of lookup table GL_PIXEL_MAP_c_TO_c, then replaced by the
value that it references in that table. c is R, G, B, or A
respectively.
The GL then converts the resulting RGBA colors to fragments by
attaching the current raster position z coordinate and texture
coordinates to each pixel, then assigning x and y window coordi-
nates to the nth fragment such that
xn=xr+nmodwidth
yn=yr+|_n/width_|
where (xr,yr) is the current raster position. These pixel frag-
ments are then treated just like the fragments generated by ras-
terizing points, lines, or polygons. Texture mapping, fog, and
all the fragment operations are applied before the fragments are
written to the frame buffer.
GL_RED Each pixel is a single red component. This component is con-
verted to the internal floating-point in the same way the red
component of an RGBA pixel is. It is then converted to an RGBA
pixel with green and blue set to 0, and alpha set to 1. After
this conversion, the pixel is treated as if it had been read as
an RGBA pixel.
GL_GREEN
Each pixel is a single green component. This component is con-
verted to the internal floating-point in the same way the green
component of an RGBA pixel is. It is then converted to an RGBA
pixel with red and blue set to 0, and alpha set to 1. After
this conversion, the pixel is treated as if it had been read as
an RGBA pixel.
GL_BLUE
Each pixel is a single blue component. This component is con-
verted to the internal floating-point in the same way the blue
component of an RGBA pixel is. It is then converted to an RGBA
pixel with red and green set to 0, and alpha set to 1. After
this conversion, the pixel is treated as if it had been read as
an RGBA pixel.
GL_ALPHA
Each pixel is a single alpha component. This component is con-
verted to the internal floating-point in the same way the alpha
component of an RGBA pixel is. It is then converted to an RGBA
pixel with red, green, and blue set to 0. After this conver-
sion, the pixel is treated as if it had been read as an RGBA
pixel.
GL_RGB
GL_BGR Each pixel is a three-component group: red first, followed by
green, followed by blue; for GL_BGR, the first component is
blue, followed by green and then red. Each component is con-
verted to the internal floating-point in the same way the red,
green, and blue components of an RGBA pixel are. The color
triple is converted to an RGBA pixel with alpha set to 1. After
this conversion, the pixel is treated as if it had been read as
an RGBA pixel.
GL_LUMINANCE
Each pixel is a single luminance component. This component is
converted to the internal floating-point in the same way the
red component of an RGBA pixel is. It is then converted to an
RGBA pixel with red, green, and blue set to the converted lumi-
nance value, and alpha set to 1. After this conversion, the
pixel is treated as if it had been read as an RGBA pixel.
GL_LUMINANCE_ALPHA
Each pixel is a two-component group: luminance first, followed
by alpha. The two components are converted to the internal
floating-point in the same way the red component of an RGBA
pixel is. They are then converted to an RGBA pixel with red,
green, and blue set to the converted luminance value, and alpha
set to the converted alpha value. After this conversion, the
pixel is treated as if it had been read as an RGBA pixel.

The rasterization described so far assumes pixel zoom factors of 1. If
glPixelZoom is used to change the x and y pixel zoom factors, pixels
are converted to fragments as follows. If (xr, yr) is the current
raster position, and a given pixel is in the nth column and mth row of
the pixel rectangle, then fragments are generated for pixels whose cen-
ters are in the rectangle with corners at
(xr+zoomxn, yr+zoomym)
(xr+zoomx(n+1), yr+zoomy(m+1))
where zoomx is the value of GL_ZOOM_X and zoomy is the value of
GL_ZOOM_Y.
