Name

glPrioritizeTextures — set texture residence priority

C Specification

`void glPrioritizeTextures(`	GLsizei	`n`,
	const GLuint *	`textures`,
	const GLclampf *	`priorities)`;

Parameters

n: Specifies the number of textures to be prioritized.
textures: Specifies an array containing the names of the textures to be prioritized.
priorities: Specifies an array containing the texture priorities. A priority given in an element of priorities applies to the texture named by the corresponding element of textures.

Description

glPrioritizeTextures assigns the n texture priorities given in priorities to the n textures named in textures.

The GL establishes a ``working set'' of textures that are resident in texture memory. These textures may be bound to a texture target much more efficiently than textures that are not resident. By specifying a priority for each texture, glPrioritizeTextures allows applications to guide the GL implementation in determining which textures should be resident.

The priorities given in priorities are clamped to the range 0 1 before they are assigned. 0 indicates the lowest priority; textures with priority 0 are least likely to be resident. 1 indicates the highest priority; textures with priority 1 are most likely to be resident. However, textures are not guaranteed to be resident until they are used.

glPrioritizeTextures silently ignores attempts to prioritize texture 0 or any texture name that does not correspond to an existing texture.

glPrioritizeTextures does not require that any of the textures named by textures be bound to a texture target. glTexParameter may also be used to set a texture's priority, but only if the texture is currently bound. This is the only way to set the priority of a default texture.

Notes

glPrioritizeTextures is available only if the GL version is 1.1 or greater.

Errors

GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated if n is negative.

GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if glPrioritizeTextures is executed between the execution of glBegin and the corresponding execution of glEnd.

Associated Gets

glGetTexParameter with parameter name GL_TEXTURE_PRIORITY retrieves the priority of a currently bound texture.
