Method GL.glCopyPixels()
- Method
glCopyPixels
void glCopyPixels(int x, int y, int width, int height, int type)
- Description
glCopyPixels copies a screen-aligned rectangle of pixels
from the specified frame buffer location to a region relative to the
current raster position.
Its operation is well defined only if the entire pixel source region
is within the exposed portion of the window.
Results of copies from outside the window,
or from regions of the window that are not exposed,
are hardware dependent and undefined.
x and y specify the window coordinates of
the lower left corner of the rectangular region to be copied.
width and height specify the dimensions of the
rectangular region to be copied.
Both width and height must not be negative.
Several parameters control the processing of the pixel data
while it is being copied.
These parameters are set with three commands:
glPixelTransfer ,
glPixelMap , and
glPixelZoom .
This reference page describes the effects on glCopyPixels of most,
but not all, of the parameters specified by these three commands.
glCopyPixels copies values from each pixel with the lower left-hand corner at
(x + i, y + j) for 0\(<=i<width and 0\(<=j<height.
This pixel is said to be the ith pixel in the jth row.
Pixels are copied in row order from the lowest to the highest row,
left to right in each row.
type specifies whether color, depth, or stencil data is to be copied.
The details of the transfer for each data type are as follows:
GL_COLOR
| Indices or RGBA colors are read from the buffer currently specified as the
read source buffer (see glReadBuffer ).
If the GL is in color index mode,
each index that is read from this buffer is converted
to a fixed-point format with an unspecified
number of bits to the right of the binary point.
Each 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_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 2 sup b -1,
where b is the number of bits in a color index buffer.
If the GL is in RGBA mode,
the red, green, blue, and alpha components of each pixel that is read
are converted to an internal floating-point format with unspecified
precision.
The conversion maps the largest representable component value to 1.0,
and component value 0 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.
The GL then converts the resulting indices or RGBA colors to fragments
by attaching the current raster position z coordinate and
texture coordinates to each pixel,
then assigning window coordinates
(x sub r + i , y sub r + j),
where (x sub r , y sub r) is the current raster position,
and the pixel was the ith pixel in the jth row.
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_DEPTH
| Depth values are read from the depth buffer and
converted directly to an internal floating-point format
with unspecified precision.
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 window coordinates
(x sub r + i , y sub r + j),
where (x sub r , y sub r) is the current raster position,
and the pixel was the ith pixel in the jth row.
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
| Stencil indices are read from the stencil buffer and
converted to an internal fixed-point format
with an unspecified number of bits to the right of the binary point.
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 2 sup b -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 index read from the ith location of the jth row
is written to location
(x sub r + i , y sub r + j),
where (x sub r , y sub r) is the current raster position.
Only the pixel ownership test,
the scissor test,
and the stencil writemask affect these write operations.

The rasterization described thus far assumes pixel zoom factors of 1.0.
If
glPixelZoom is used to change the x and y pixel zoom factors,
pixels are converted to fragments as follows.
If (x sub r, y sub r) is the current raster position,
and a given pixel is in the ith location in the jth row of the source
pixel rectangle,
then fragments are generated for pixels whose centers are in the rectangle
with corners at
.ce
(x sub r + zoom sub x i, y sub r + zoom sub y j)
.sp .5
.ce
and
.sp .5
.ce
(x sub r + zoom sub x (i + 1), y sub r + zoom sub y ( j + 1 ))
where zoom sub x is the value of GL_ZOOM_X and
zoom sub y is the value of GL_ZOOM_Y .
- Parameter x
Specify the window coordinates of the lower left corner
of the rectangular region of pixels to be copied.
- Parameter width
Specify the dimensions of the rectangular region of pixels to be copied.
Both must be nonnegative.
- Parameter type
Specifies whether color values,
depth values,
or stencil values are to be copied.
Symbolic constants
GL_COLOR ,
GL_DEPTH ,
and GL_STENCIL are accepted.
- Throws
GL_INVALID_ENUM is generated if type is not an accepted value.
GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated if either width or height is negative.
GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if type is GL_DEPTH
and there is no depth buffer.
GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if type is GL_STENCIL
and there is no stencil buffer.
GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if glCopyPixels
is executed between the execution of glBegin
and the corresponding execution of glEnd .
