    OpenGL ES Extension #103

Dependencies

    Requires OpenGL ES 2.0.

    Written based on the wording of the OpenGL ES 2.0.25 Full Specification
    (November 2, 2010).

    OES_texture_float affects the definition of this extension.

    OES_texture_half_float affects the definition of this extension.

    APPLE_framebuffer_multisample affects the definition of this extension.

Overview

    Historically one- and two-component textures have been specified in OpenGL
    ES using the luminance or luminance-alpha (L/LA) formats. With the advent
    of programmable shaders and render-to-texture capabilities these legacy
    formats carry some historical artifacts which are no longer useful.

    For example, when sampling from such textures, the luminance values are
    replicated across the color components. This is no longer necessary with
    programmable shaders.
    
    It is also desirable to be able to render to one- and two-component format
    textures using capabilities such as framebuffer objects (FBO), but
    rendering to L/LA formats is under-specified (specifically how to map
    R/G/B/A values to L/A texture channels).

    This extension adds new base internal formats for one-component RED and
    two-component RG (red green) textures as well as sized RED and RG internal
    formats for renderbuffers. The RED and RG texture formats can be used for
    both texturing and rendering into with framebuffer objects.

Additions to Chapter 4 of the OpenGL ES 2.0 Specification (Per-Fragment
Operations and the Framebuffer)

    In section 4.3.1 "Reading Pixels", subsection "Obtaining Pixels from the
    Framebuffer", modify the last sentence to read:

    "If the framebuffer does not support G, B, or A values then the G, B, and A
    values that are obtained are 0.0, 0.0, and 1.0 respectively."

    In section 4.4.5 "Framebuffer Completeness", modify the last sentence of
    the second paragraph to read:

    "Color-renderable formats contain red, and possibly green, blue, and alpha
    components; depth-renderable formats contain depth components; and
    stencil-renderable formats contain stencil components."

    (Add the following to Table 4.5: "Renderbuffer image formats, showing their
    renderable type (color-, depth-, or stencil-renderable) and the number of
    bits each format contains for color (R, G, B, A), depth (D), and stencil
    (S) components")
