OpenGL.GL.EXT.texture_sRGB

OpenGL extension EXT.texture_sRGB

This module customises the behaviour of the OpenGL.raw.GL.EXT.texture_sRGB to provide a more Python-friendly API

Overview (from the spec)

Conventional texture formats assume a linear color space. So for a conventional internal texture format such as GL_RGB8, the 256 discrete values for each 8-bit color component map linearly and uniformly to the [0,1] range.

The sRGB color space is based on typical (non-linear) monitor characteristics expected in a dimly lit office. It has been standardized by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) as IEC 61966-2-1. The sRGB color space roughly corresponds to 2.2 gamma correction.

This extension adds a few new uncompressed and compressed color texture formats with sRGB color components.
