## Description

Texturing maps a portion of a specified texture image onto each graphical primitive for which texturing is enabled. To enable and disable one-dimensional texturing, call `glEnable` and `glDisable` with argument `GL_TEXTURE_1D`.

Texture images are defined with `glTexImage1D`. The arguments describe the parameters of the texture image, such as width, width of the border, level-of-detail number (see glTexParameter), and the internal resolution and used to store the image. The last three arguments describe how the image is represented in memory; they are identical to the pixel formats used for `glDrawPixels`.

If `target` is `GL_PROXY_TEXTURE_1D`, no data is read from `pixels`, but all of the texture image state is recalculated, checked for consistency, and checked against the implementation's capabilities. If the implementation cannot handle a texture of the requested texture size, it sets all of the image state to 0, but does not generate an error (see glGetError). To query for an entire mipmap array, use an image array level greater than or equal to 1.

If `target` is `GL_TEXTURE_1D`, data is read from `pixels` as a sequence of signed or unsigned bytes, shorts, or longs, or single-precision floating-point values, depending on `type`. These values are grouped into sets of one, two, three, or four values, depending on `format`, to form elements. If `type` is `GL_BITMAP`, the data is considered as a string of unsigned bytes (and `format` must be `GL_COLOR_INDEX`). Each data byte is treated as eight 1-bit elements, with bit ordering determined by `GL_UNPACK_LSB_FIRST` (see glPixelStore).

The first element corresponds to the left end of the texture array. Subsequent elements progress left-to-right through the remaining texels in the texture array. The final element corresponds to the right end of the texture array.

`format` determines the composition of each element in `pixels`. It can assume one of eleven symbolic values:

`GL_COLOR_INDEX`
  Each element is a single value, a color index. The GL converts it to fixed point (with an unspecified number of zero bits to the right of the binary point), shifted left or right depending on the value and sign of `GL_INDEX_SHIFT`, and added to `GL_INDEX_OFFSET` (see glPixelTransfer). The resulting index is converted to a set of color components using 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, and clamped to the range [0,1].
`GL_RED`
  Each element is a single red component. The GL converts it to floating point and assembles it into an RGBA element by attaching 0 for green and blue, and 1 for alpha. Each component is then multiplied by the signed scale factor `GL_c_SCALE`, added to the signed bias `GL_c_BIAS`. and clamped to the range [0,1] (see glPixelTransfer).
`GL_GREEN`
  Each element is a single green component. The GL converts it to floating point and assembles it into an RGBA element by attaching 0 for red and blue, and 1 for alpha. Each component is then multiplied by the signed scale factor `GL_c_SCALE`, added to the signed bias `GL_c_BIAS`, and clamped to the range [0,1] (see glPixelTransfer).
`GL_BLUE`
  Each element is a single blue component. The GL converts it to floating point and assembles it into an RGBA element by attaching 0 for red and green, and 1 for alpha. Each component is then multiplied by the signed scale factor `GL_c_SCALE`, added to the signed bias `GL_c_BIAS`, and clamped to the range [0,1] (see glPixelTransfer).
`GL_ALPHA`
  Each element is a single alpha component. The GL converts it to floating point and assembles it into an RGBA element by attaching 0 for red, green, and blue. Each component is then multiplied by the signed scale factor `GL_c_SCALE`, added to the signed bias `GL_c_BIAS`, and clamped to the range [0,1] (see glPixelTransfer).
`GL_BGR`, `GL_RGB`
  Each element is an RGB triple. The GL converts it to floating point and assembles it into an RGBA element by attaching 1 for alpha. Each component is then multiplied by the signed scale factor `GL_c_SCALE`, added to the signed bias `GL_c_BIAS`, and clamped to the range [0,1] (see glPixelTransfer).
`GL_BGRA`, `GL_RGBA`
  Each element contains all four components. Each component is then multiplied by the signed scale factor `GL_c_SCALE`, added to the signed bias `GL_c_BIAS`, and clamped to the range [0,1] (see glPixelTransfer).
`GL_LUMINANCE`
  Each element is a single luminance value. The GL converts it to floating point, then assembles it into an RGBA element by replicating the luminance value three times for red, green, and blue and attaching 1 for alpha. Each component is then multiplied by the signed scale factor `GL_c_SCALE`, added to the signed bias `GL_c_BIAS`, and clamped to the range [0,1] (see glPixelTransfer).
`GL_LUMINANCE_ALPHA`
  Each element is a luminance/alpha pair. The GL converts it to floating point, then assembles it into an RGBA element by replicating the luminance value three times for red, green, and blue. Each component is then multiplied by the signed scale factor `GL_c_SCALE`, added to the signed bias `GL_c_BIAS`, and clamped to the range [0,1] (see glPixelTransfer).

If an application wants to store the texture at a certain resolution or in a certain , it can request the resolution and with `internalformat`. The GL will choose an internal representation that closely approximates that requested by `internalformat`, but it may not match exactly. (The representations specified by `GL_LUMINANCE`, `GL_LUMINANCE_ALPHA`, `GL_RGB`, and `GL_RGBA` must match exactly. The numeric values 1, 2, 3, and 4 may also be used to specify the preceding representations.)

Use the `GL_PROXY_TEXTURE_1D` target to try out a resolution and the implementation will update and recompute its best match for the requested storage resolution and . To query this state, call `glGetTexLevelParameter`. If the texture cannot be accommodated, texture state is set to 0.

A one-component texture image uses only the red component of the RGBA color from `pixels`. A two-component image uses the R and A values. A three-component image uses the R, G, and B values. A four-component image uses all of the RGBA components.

## Notes

Texturing has no effect in color index mode.

If the `GL_ARB_imaging` extension is supported, RGBA elements may also be processed by the imaging pipeline. The following stages may be applied to an RGBA color before color component clamping to the range [0,1]:

1. Color component replacement by the color table specified for `GL_COLOR_TABLE`, if enabled. See `glColorTable`.

2. One-dimensional convolution filtering, if enabled. See `glConvolutionFilter1D`.

   If a convolution filter changes the __width of the texture (by processing with a `GL_CONVOLUTION_BORDER_MODE` of `GL_REDUCE`, for example), the `width` must 2 n + 2 ( border ) , for some integer n , after filtering.

3. RGBA components may be multiplied by `GL_POST_CONVOLUTION_c_SCALE`, and added to `GL_POST_CONVOLUTION_c_BIAS`, if enabled. See `glPixelTransfer`.
4. Color component replacement by the color table specified for `GL_POST_CONVOLUTION_COLOR_TABLE`, if enabled. See `glColorTable`.
5. Transformation by the color matrix. See `glMatrixMode`.
6. RGBA components may be multiplied by `GL_POST_COLOR_MATRIX_c_SCALE`, and added to `GL_POST_COLOR_MATRIX_c_BIAS`, if enabled. See `glPixelTransfer`.
7. Color component replacement by the color table specified for `GL_POST_COLOR_MATRIX_COLOR_TABLE`, if enabled. See `glColorTable`.

The texture image can be represented by the same data formats as the pixels in a `glDrawPixels` command, except that `GL_STENCIL_INDEX` and `GL_DEPTH_COMPONENT` cannot be used. `glPixelStore` and `glPixelTransfer` modes affect texture images in exactly the way they affect `glDrawPixels`.

`GL_PROXY_TEXTURE_1D` may be used only if the GL version is 1.1 or greater.

Internal formats other than 1, 2, 3, or 4 may be used only if the GL version is 1.1 or greater.

In GL version 1.1 or greater, `pixels` may be a `NULL` pointer. In this case texture memory is allocated to accommodate a texture of width `width`. You can then download subtextures to initialize the texture memory. The image is undefined if the program tries to apply an uninitialized portion of the texture image to a primitive.

Formats `GL_BGR`, and `GL_BGRA` and types `GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE_3_3_2`, `GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE_2_3_3_REV`, `GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT_5_6_5`, `GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT_5_6_5_REV`, `GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT_4_4_4_4`, `GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT_4_4_4_4_REV`, `GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT_5_5_5_1`, `GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT_1_5_5_5_REV`, `GL_UNSIGNED_INT_8_8_8_8`, `GL_UNSIGNED_INT_8_8_8_8_REV`, `GL_UNSIGNED_INT_10_10_10_2`, and `GL_UNSIGNED_INT_2_10_10_10_REV` are available only if the GL version is 1.2 or greater.

When the `GL_ARB_multitexture` extension is supported, `glTexImage1D` specifies the one-dimensional texture for the current texture unit, specified with `glActiveTextureARB`.
