GLTEXBUFFER(3G) [FIXME: manual] GLTEXBUFFER(3G)
NAME
glTexBuffer - attach the storage for a buffer object to the active buffer texture
C SPECIFICATION
void glTexBuffer(GLenum target, GLenum internalFormat, Gluintbuffer);
PARAMETERS
target
Specifies the target of the operation and must be GL_TEXTURE_BUFFER.
internalFormat
Specifies the internal format of the data in the store belonging to buffer.
buffer
Specifies the name of the buffer object whose storage to attach to the active buffer texture.
DESCRIPTION
glTexBuffer attaches the storage for the buffer object named buffer to the active buffer texture, and specifies the internal format for the
texel array found in the attached buffer object. If buffer is zero, any buffer object attached to the buffer texture is detached and no new
buffer object is attached. If buffer is non-zero, it must be the name of an existing buffer object. target must be GL_TEXTURE_BUFFER.
internalformat specifies the storage format, and must be one of the following sized internal formats:

When a buffer object is attached to a buffer texture, the buffer object's data store is taken as the texture's texel array. The number of
texels in the buffer texture's texel array is given by
buffer_size
components x sizeof(base_type)
.PP where buffer_size is the size of the buffer object, in basic machine units and components and base type are the element
count and base data type for elements, as specified in the table above. The number of texels in the texel array is then clamped to the
implementation-dependent limit GL_MAX_TEXTURE_BUFFER_SIZE. When a buffer texture is accessed in a shader, the results of a texel fetch are
undefined if the specified texel coordinate is negative, or greater than or equal to the clamped number of texels in the texel array.
ERRORS
GL_INVALID_ENUM is generated if target is not GL_TEXTURE_BUFFER.
GL_INVALID_ENUM is generated if internalFormat is not one of the accepted tokens.
GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if buffer is not zero or the name of an existing buffer object.
NOTES
glTexBuffer is available only if the GL version is 3.1 or greater.
