OpenGL ES Extension #223
OpenGL Extension #555

Dependencies

OpenGL ES 3.0 or OpenGL 1.2 is required.

This extension is written against the OpenGL ES 3.1 and
OpenGL 4.6 (Core Profile) specifications.

This extension interacts with ARB_texture_view.

This extension interacts with EXT_texture_view.

This extension interacts with OES_texture_view.

This extension interacts with ARB_direct_state_access.

Overview

This extension introduces SRG8_EXT as an acceptable internal format.
This allows efficient sRGB sampling for source images stored with 2
channels.

New Procedures and Functions

None

New Tokens

Accepted by the <internalformat> parameters of TexImage3D, TexImage2D,
TexImage1D, TexStorage3D, TexStorage2D, TexStorage1D, TextureStorage3D,
TextureStorage2D, and TextureStorage1D:

Dependencies on OpenGL

If OpenGL is not supported, ignore all references to 1D textures,
including TexImage1D, TexStorage1D, and TextureStorage1D.

Dependencies on OpenGL 4.5 and ARB_direct_state_access

If neither OpenGL 4.5 nor ARB_direct_state_access are supported,
ignore all references to TextureStorage3D, TextureStorage2D, and
TextureStorage1D.

Dependencies on ARB_texture_view

If ARB_texture_view is supported, add SRG8_EXT to the Internal formats
column of the VIEW_CLASS_16_BITS row in Table 3.X.2.

Dependencies on EXT_texture_view

If EXT_texture_view is supported, add SRG8_EXT to the Internal formats
column of the VIEW_CLASS_16_BITS row in Table 8.X.2.

Dependencies on OES_texture_view

If OES_texture_view is supported, add SRG8_EXT to the Internal formats
column of the VIEW_CLASS_16_BITS row in Table 8.X.2.
