Parameters

Variables	Description
target	Specifies the symbolic name of the target texture, one of GL_TEXTURE_1D , GL_TEXTURE_2D , GL_TEXTURE_3D , GL_TEXTURE_1D_ARRAY , GL_TEXTURE_2D_ARRAY , GL_TEXTURE_RECTANGLE , GL_TEXTURE_2D_MULTISAMPLE , GL_TEXTURE_2D_MULTISAMPLE_ARRAY , GL_TEXTURE_CUBE_MAP_POSITIVE_X , GL_TEXTURE_CUBE_MAP_NEGATIVE_X , GL_TEXTURE_CUBE_MAP_POSITIVE_Y , GL_TEXTURE_CUBE_MAP_NEGATIVE_Y , GL_TEXTURE_CUBE_MAP_POSITIVE_Z , GL_TEXTURE_CUBE_MAP_NEGATIVE_Z , GL_PROXY_TEXTURE_1D , GL_PROXY_TEXTURE_2D , GL_PROXY_TEXTURE_3D , GL_PROXY_TEXTURE_1D_ARRAY , GL_PROXY_TEXTURE_2D_ARRAY , GL_PROXY_TEXTURE_RECTANGLE , GL_PROXY_TEXTURE_2D_MULTISAMPLE , GL_PROXY_TEXTURE_2D_MULTISAMPLE_ARRAY , GL_PROXY_TEXTURE_CUBE_MAP , or GL_TEXTURE_BUFFER .
level	Specifies the level-of-detail number of the desired image. Level 0 is the base image level. Level $n$ is the $n$ th mipmap reduction image.
pname	Specifies the symbolic name of a texture parameter. GL_TEXTURE_WIDTH , GL_TEXTURE_HEIGHT , GL_TEXTURE_DEPTH , GL_TEXTURE_INTERNAL_FORMAT , GL_TEXTURE_BORDER , GL_TEXTURE_RED_SIZE , GL_TEXTURE_GREEN_SIZE , GL_TEXTURE_BLUE_SIZE , GL_TEXTURE_ALPHA_SIZE , GL_TEXTURE_DEPTH_SIZE , GL_TEXTURE_COMPRESSED , GL_TEXTURE_COMPRESSED_IMAGE_SIZE , and GL_TEXTURE_BUFFER_OFFSET are accepted.
params	Returns the requested data.

Description

glGetTexLevelParameter returns in params texture parameter values for a specific level-of-detail value, specified as level . target defines the target texture, either GL_TEXTURE_1D , GL_TEXTURE_2D , GL_TEXTURE_3D , GL_PROXY_TEXTURE_1D , GL_PROXY_TEXTURE_2D , GL_PROXY_TEXTURE_3D , GL_TEXTURE_CUBE_MAP_POSITIVE_X , GL_TEXTURE_CUBE_MAP_NEGATIVE_X , GL_TEXTURE_CUBE_MAP_POSITIVE_Y , GL_TEXTURE_CUBE_MAP_NEGATIVE_Y , GL_TEXTURE_CUBE_MAP_POSITIVE_Z , GL_TEXTURE_CUBE_MAP_NEGATIVE_Z , or GL_PROXY_TEXTURE_CUBE_MAP .

GL_MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE , and GL_MAX_3D_TEXTURE_SIZE are not really descriptive enough. It has to report the largest square texture image that can be accommodated with mipmaps and borders, but a long skinny texture, or a texture without mipmaps and borders, may easily fit in texture memory. The proxy targets allow the user to more accurately query whether the GL can accommodate a texture of a given configuration. If the texture cannot be accommodated, the texture state variables, which may be queried with glGetTexLevelParameter , are set to 0. If the texture can be accommodated, the texture state values will be set as they would be set for a non-proxy target.

pname specifies the texture parameter whose value or values will be returned.

The accepted parameter names are as follows:

GL_TEXTURE_WIDTH: params returns a single value, the width of the texture image. This value includes the border of the texture image. The initial value is 0.
GL_TEXTURE_HEIGHT: params returns a single value, the height of the texture image. This value includes the border of the texture image. The initial value is 0.
GL_TEXTURE_DEPTH: params returns a single value, the depth of the texture image. This value includes the border of the texture image. The initial value is 0.
GL_TEXTURE_INTERNAL_FORMAT: params returns a single value, the internal format of the texture image.
GL_TEXTURE_RED_TYPE ,
GL_TEXTURE_GREEN_TYPE ,
GL_TEXTURE_BLUE_TYPE ,
GL_TEXTURE_ALPHA_TYPE ,
GL_TEXTURE_DEPTH_TYPE: The data type used to store the component. The types GL_NONE , GL_SIGNED_NORMALIZED , GL_UNSIGNED_NORMALIZED , GL_FLOAT , GL_INT , and GL_UNSIGNED_INT may be returned to indicate signed normalized fixed-point, unsigned normalized fixed-point, floating-point, integer unnormalized, and unsigned integer unnormalized components, respectively.
GL_TEXTURE_RED_SIZE ,
GL_TEXTURE_GREEN_SIZE ,
GL_TEXTURE_BLUE_SIZE ,
GL_TEXTURE_ALPHA_SIZE ,
GL_TEXTURE_DEPTH_SIZE: The internal storage resolution of an individual component. The resolution chosen by the GL will be a close match for the resolution requested by the user with the component argument of glTexImage1D , glTexImage2D , glTexImage3D , glCopyTexImage1D , and glCopyTexImage2D . The initial value is 0.
GL_TEXTURE_COMPRESSED: params returns a single boolean value indicating if the texture image is stored in a compressed internal format. The initiali value is GL_FALSE .
GL_TEXTURE_COMPRESSED_IMAGE_SIZE: params returns a single integer value, the number of unsigned bytes of the compressed texture image that would be returned from glGetCompressedTexImage .
GL_TEXTURE_BUFFER_OFFSET: params returns a single integer value, the offset into the data store of the buffer bound to a buffer texture. glTexBufferRange .
GL_TEXTURE_BUFFER_SIZE: params returns a single integer value, the size of the range of a data store of the buffer bound to a buffer texture. glTexBufferRange .

Notes

If an error is generated, no change is made to the contents of params .

glGetTexLevelParameter returns the texture level parameters for the active texture unit.

GL_TEXTURE_BUFFER_OFFSET and GL_TEXTURE_BUFFER_SIZE are available only if the GL version is 4.3 or greater.

Errors

GL_INVALID_ENUM is generated if target or pname is not an accepted value.

GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated if level is less than 0.

GL_INVALID_VALUE may be generated if level is greater than

\log_{2}

max , where max is the returned value of GL_MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE .

GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated if target is GL_TEXTURE_BUFFER and level is not zero.

GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if GL_TEXTURE_COMPRESSED_IMAGE_SIZE is queried on texture images with an uncompressed internal format or on proxy targets.
