Dependencies

    OpenGL ES 2.0 or OpenGL ES 3.0 is required.

    EXT_texture_format_BGRA8888 affects the definition of this extension.
    ARB_texture_rg affects the definition of this extension.
    CHROMIUM_ycbcr_422_image affects the definition of this extension.
    ANGLE_yuv_internal_format affects the definition of this extension.

Overview

    This extension expands on the functionality provided by the
    glCopyTexImage2D command.  A new function is exported,
    glCopyTextureCHROMIUM, that performs the same copy operation as
    glCopyTexImage2D.

    The extension also supports copying BGRA textures and copying
    EXTERNAL_OES texture to BGRA texture, which is not explicitly
    granted by EXT_texture_format_BGRA8888.

Additions to the OpenGL ES 2.0 Specification

    The command

        CopyTextureCHROMIUM

    Copies the contents of <sourceLevel> level of <sourceId> texture to
    <destLevel> level and <destTarget> target of <destId> texture.

    <destTarget> must be TEXTURE_2D,
    TEXTURE_CUBE_MAP_POSITIVE_X, TEXTURE_CUBE_MAP_NEGATIVE_X,
    TEXTURE_CUBE_MAP_POSITIVE_Y, TEXTURE_CUBE_MAP_NEGATIVE_Y,
    TEXTURE_CUBE_MAP_POSITIVE_Z, TEXTURE_CUBE_MAP_NEGATIVE_Z,
    TEXTURE_RECTANGLE_ARB.

    The internal format of the destination texture is converted to that
    specified by <internalFormat>.

    When source texture doens't contain a superset of the component
    required by <internalFormat>, fill the components by following rules.

    The format type of the destination texture is converted to that specified
    by <destType>.

    If <flipY> is true, vertically flip texture image data.

    If <unpackPremultiplyAlpha> and <unpackUnmultiplyAlpha> are true,
    no alpha processing occurs.  This is the equivalent of having neither flag
    set.

    When <sourceId> refers to a stream texture, the texture matrix will be
    applied as part of the copy operation.

    INVALID_OPERATION is generated if <internalFormat> is not one of the
    formats in Table 1.0.

    INVALID_OPERATION is generated if the internal format of <sourceId> is not
    one of formats in Table 1.1.

    INVALID_VALUE is generated if <sourceId> or <destId> are not valid texture
    objects.

    INVALID_OPERATION is generated if <sourceId> refers to a texture that is
    not complete according to Framebuffer Attachment Completeness rules.

    INVALID_OPERATION is generated if <sourceId> and <destId> refer to the same
    texture objects and <sourceLevel> is the same as <destLevel>.

    INVALID_ENUM is generated if <destTarget> is not one of the valid targets
    described above.

    INVALID_OPERATION is generated if the bound target of destination texture
    does not match <target>.

    INVALID_VALUE is generated if textures corresponding to <destId> have not
    been bound as TEXTURE_2D, TEXTURE_CUBE_MAP, or
    TEXTURE_RECTANGLE_ARB objects.

    INVALID_VALUE is generated if textures corresponding to <sourceId> have not
    been bound as TEXTURE_2D, TEXTURE_RECTANGLE_ARB or
    TEXTURE_EXTERNAL_OES objects.

    INVALID_VALUE is generated if <sourceLevel> is not 0 for ES 2.0, or if
    <sourceLevel> or <destLevel> is less than 0 for ES 3.0.

    INVALID_VALUE is generated if <sourceLevel> of the source texture is not
    defined.

    The command

        CopySubTextureCHROMIUM

    Copies the sub contents of texture referred to by <sourceId> to <destId>
    texture without redefining <destId> texture.

    See CopyTextureCHROMIUM for the interpretation of the <destTarget>,
    <sourceLevel>, <destLevel>, <flipY>, <premultiplyAlpha>, and
    <unmultiplyAlpha> arguments.

    <xoffset> and <yoffset> specify a texel offset in the x and y direction
    respectively within the destination texture.

    <x> and <y> specify specify a texel offset in the x and y direction
    respectively within the source texture.

    <width> specifies the width of the texture subimage.

    <height> specifies the width of the texture subimage.

    INVALID_VALUE is generated if either <sourceId> texture or <destId>
    texture is not defined.

    INVALID_OPERATION is generated if the internal format of <sourceId> or
    <destId> is not one of formats in Table 1.1.

    INVALID_OPERATION is generated if the destination texture array has not
    been defined.

    INVALID_OPERATION is generated if <sourceId> refers to a texture that is
    not complete according to Framebuffer Attachment Completeness rules.

    INVALID_VALUE is generated if <destId> texture is not bound as
    TEXTURE_2D or TEXTURE_RECTANGLE_ARB.

    INVALID_VALUE is generated if level 0 of the source texture or
    the destination texture is not defined.

    INVALID_VALUE is generated if (<xoffset> + <width>) > destWidth,
    or (<yoffset> + <height>) > destHeight.

    INVALID_VALUE is generated if <sourceLevel> is not 0 for ES 2.0, or if
    <sourceLevel> or <destLevel> is less than 0 for ES 3.0.

    INVALID_VALUE is generated if <sourceLevel> of the source texture is not
    defined.
