PARAMETERS
pname Specifies the symbolic name of the parameter to be set. Six val‐
ues affect the packing of pixel data into memory:
GL_PACK_SWAP_BYTES, GL_PACK_LSB_FIRST, GL_PACK_ROW_LENGTH,
GL_PACK_IMAGE_HEIGHT, GL_PACK_SKIP_PIXELS, GL_PACK_SKIP_ROWS,
GL_PACK_SKIP_IMAGES, and GL_PACK_ALIGNMENT. Six more affect the
unpacking of pixel data from memory: GL_UNPACK_SWAP_BYTES,
GL_UNPACK_LSB_FIRST, GL_UNPACK_ROW_LENGTH,
GL_UNPACK_IMAGE_HEIGHT, GL_UNPACK_SKIP_PIXELS,
GL_UNPACK_SKIP_ROWS, GL_UNPACK_SKIP_IMAGES, and
GL_UNPACK_ALIGNMENT.
param Specifies the value that pname is set to.
DESCRIPTION
glPixelStore sets pixel storage modes that affect the operation of sub‐
sequent glDrawPixels and glReadPixels as well as the unpacking of poly‐
gon stipple patterns (see glPolygonStipple), bitmaps (see glBitmap),
texture patterns (see glTexImage1D, glTexImage2D, glTexImage3D,
glTexSubImage1D, glTexSubImage2D, glTexSubImage3D). Additionally, if
the GL_ARB_imaging extension is supported, pixle storage modes affect
convlution filters (see glConvolutionFilter1D, glConvolutionFilter2D,
and glSeparableFilter2D, color table (see glColorTable, and
glColorSubTable, and unpacking histogram (See glHistogram), and minmax
(See glMinmax) data.
pname is a symbolic constant indicating the parameter to be set, and
param is the new value. Six of the twelve storage parameters affect how
pixel data is returned to client memory. They are as follows:
GL_PACK_SWAP_BYTES
If true, byte ordering for multibyte color components, depth
components, color indices, or stencil indices is reversed.
That is, if a four-byte component consists of bytes b0, b1,
b2, b3, it is stored in memory as b3, b2, b1, b0 if
GL_PACK_SWAP_BYTES is true. GL_PACK_SWAP_BYTES has no effect
on the memory order of components within a pixel, only on the
order of bytes within components or indices. For example, the
three components of a GL_RGB format pixel are always stored
with red first, green second, and blue third, regardless of
the value of GL_PACK_SWAP_BYTES.
GL_PACK_LSB_FIRST
If true, bits are ordered within a byte from least significant
to most significant; otherwise, the first bit in each byte is
the most significant one. This parameter is significant for
bitmap data only.
component (if a<s, then it is as if a=s). In the case of
1-bit values, the location of the next row is obtained by
skipping
k=8a⎡__⎤
components or indices.
The word component in this description refers to the nonindex
values red, green, blue, alpha, and depth. Storage format
GL_RGB, for example, has three components per pixel: first
red, then green, and finally blue.
GL_PACK_IMAGE_HEIGHT
If greater than 0, GL_PACK_IMAGE_HEIGHT defines the number of
pixels in an image three-dimensional texture volume. Where
``image'' is defined by all pixels sharing the same third di‐
mension index. If the first pixel of a row is placed at loca‐
tion p in memory, then the location of the first pixel of the
next row is obtained by skipping
k=⎩nlh s≥a
_⎡____⎤s<a
components or indices, where n is the number of components or
indices in a pixel, l is the number of pixels in a row (‐
GL_PACK_ROW_LENGTH if it is greater than 0, the width argu‐
ment to glTexImage3d otherwise), h is the number of rows in a
pixel image (GL_PACK_IMAGE_HEIGHT if it is greater than 0, the
height arguemnt to the glTexImage3D routine otherwise), a is
the value of GL_PACK_ALIGNMENT, and s is the size, in bytes,
of a single component (if a<s, then it is as if a=s).
The word component in this description refers to the nonindex
values red, green, blue, alpha, and depth. Storage format
GL_RGB, for example, has three components per pixel: first
red, then green, and finally blue.
GL_PACK_SKIP_PIXELS, GL_PACK_SKIP_ROWS, and GL_PACK_SKIP_IMAGES
These values are provided as a convenience to the programmer;
they provide no functionality that cannot be duplicated simply
by incrementing the pointer passed to glReadPixels. Setting
GL_PACK_SKIP_PIXELS to i is equivalent to incrementing the
pointer by in components or indices, where n is the number of
components or indices in each pixel. Setting
GL_PACK_SKIP_ROWS to j is equivalent to incrementing the
pointer by jm components or indices, where m is the number of
components or indices per row, as just computed in the
GL_PACK_ROW_LENGTH section. Setting GL_PACK_SKIP_IMAGES to k
is equivalent to incrementing the pointer by kp, where p is
the number of components or indices per image, as computed in
the GL_PACK_IMAGE_HEIGHT section.
glConvolutionFilter2D, and glSeparableFilter2D. They are as follows:
GL_UNPACK_SWAP_BYTES
If true, byte ordering for multibyte color components, depth com‐
ponents, color indices, or stencil indices is reversed. That is,
if a four-byte component consists of bytes b0, b1, b2, b3, it is
taken from memory as b3, b2, b1, b0 if GL_UNPACK_SWAP_BYTES is
true. GL_UNPACK_SWAP_BYTES has no effect on the memory order of
components within a pixel, only on the order of bytes within com‐
ponents or indices. For example, the three components of a
GL_RGB format pixel are always stored with red first, green sec‐
ond, and blue third, regardless of the value of
GL_UNPACK_SWAP_BYTES.
GL_UNPACK_LSB_FIRST
If true, bits are ordered within a byte from least significant to
most significant; otherwise, the first bit in each byte is the
most significant one. This is relevant only for bitmap data.
GL_UNPACK_ROW_LENGTH
If greater than 0, GL_UNPACK_ROW_LENGTH defines the number of
pixels in a row. If the first pixel of a row is placed at loca‐
tion p in memory, then the location of the first pixel of the
next row is obtained by skipping
k=⎩nl s≥a
_⎡___⎤s<a
components or indices, where n is the number of components or in‐
dices in a pixel, l is the number of pixels in a row (‐
GL_UNPACK_ROW_LENGTH if it is greater than 0, the width argument
to the pixel routine otherwise), a is the value of
GL_UNPACK_ALIGNMENT, and s is the size, in bytes, of a single
component (if a<s, then it is as if a=s). In the case of 1-bit
values, the location of the next row is obtained by skipping
k=8a⎡__⎤
components or indices.
The word component in this description refers to the nonindex
values red, green, blue, alpha, and depth. Storage format
GL_RGB, for example, has three components per pixel: first red,
then green, and finally blue.
GL_UNPACK_IMAGE_HEIGHT
If greater than 0, GL_UNPACK_IMAGE_HEIGHT defines the number of
pixels in an image of a three-dimensional texture volume. Where
``image'' is defined by all pixel sharing the same third dimen‐
sion index. If the first pixel of a row is placed at location p
in memory, then the location of the first pixel of the next row
is obtained by skipping
values red, green, blue, alpha, and depth. Storage format
GL_RGB, for example, has three components per pixel: first red,
then green, and finally blue.
GL_UNPACK_SKIP_PIXELS and GL_UNPACK_SKIP_ROWS
These values are provided as a convenience to the programmer;
they provide no functionality that cannot be duplicated by incre‐
menting the pointer passed to glDrawPixels, glTexImage1D,
glTexImage2D, glTexSubImage1D, glTexSubImage2D, glBitmap, or
glPolygonStipple. Setting GL_UNPACK_SKIP_PIXELS to i is equiva‐
lent to incrementing the pointer by in components or indices,
where n is the number of components or indices in each pixel.
Setting GL_UNPACK_SKIP_ROWS to j is equivalent to incrementing
the pointer by jk components or indices, where k is the number of
components or indices per row, as just computed in the
GL_UNPACK_ROW_LENGTH section.
GL_UNPACK_ALIGNMENT
Specifies the alignment requirements for the start of each pixel
row in memory. The allowable values are 1 (byte-alignment), 2
(rows aligned to even-numbered bytes), 4 (word-alignment), and 8
(rows start on double-word boundaries).
The following table gives the type, initial value, and range of valid
values for each storage parameter that can be set with glPixelStore.

glPixelStoref can be used to set any pixel store parameter. If the pa‐
rameter type is boolean, then if param is 0, the parameter is false;
otherwise it is set to true. If pname is a integer type parameter,
param is rounded to the nearest integer.
pixel storage modes in effect when a display list is executed are not
significant.
Pixel storage modes are client state and must be pushed and restored us‐
ing
glPushClientAttrib and glPopClientAttrib.
ERRORS
GL_INVALID_ENUM is generated if pname is not an accepted value.
GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated if a negative row length, pixel skip, or
row skip value is specified, or if alignment is specified as other than
1, 2, 4, or 8.
GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if glPixelStore is executed between
the execution of glBegin and the corresponding execution of glEnd.
