Hey,

here's the latest version of the texture from pixmap spec that Xgl will
be supporting. It's not fully implemented in Xgl yet, just so much of it
that you can get an indirect rendering compositing manager running using
it.

I've also attached a temporary glxproto.h patch and my latest patches to
Mesa for client-side support. They should work with current CVS of Mesa.

Status

    Preliminary - totally subject to change.
    Implemented in Xgl

Version

    10 (6 Feb 2006)

Number

    TBD

Dependencies

    OpenGL 1.1 is required.
    GLX 1.3 is required.
    GL_EXT_framebuffer_object affects the definition of this extension.
    GL_ARB_texture_rectangle affects the definition of this extension.
    GL_ARB_texture_non_power_of_two affects the definition of this extension.

Overview

    This extension allows a color buffer to be used for both rendering and
    texturing.

    Only color buffers of pixmaps can be used for texturing by this extension
    but other types of drawables can be supported by future extensions layered
    on top of this extension.

    The functionality of this extension is similar to WGL_ARB_render_texture. 
    However, the purpose of this extension is not to provide
    "render to texture" like functionality but rather the ability to bind
    an existing X drawable to a texture. Though, there is nothing that
    prohibits it from being used for "render to texture".

    -   Windows are problematic as they can change size and therefore are not
        supported by this extension.

    -   Only a color buffer of a GLX pixmap created using an FBConfig with
        attribute GLX_BIND_TO_TEXTURE_RGB_EXT or GLX_BIND_TO_TEXTURE_RGBA_EXT
        set to TRUE can be bound as a texture.

    -   The texture internal format is determined when the color buffer
        is associated with the texture, guaranteeing that the color 
        buffer format is equivalent to the texture internal format.

    -   A pixmap may be rendered to while it is bound to a texture, but
        the contents of the texture might not be updated until the pixmap is
        rebound to the texture again.

    -   A client can create a complete set of mipmap images if
        EXT_framebuffer_object is supported.

Issues

    1. What should this extension be called?

    Even though it is very similar to WGL_ARB_render_texture that name is
    not appropriate as the intention of this extension is not
    "render to texture" like functionality.

    EXT_texture_from_pixmap seams most appropriate. Layering of future
    extensions on top of this extension for using other type of drawables
    as textures follows the same conventions as vertex/pixel buffer objects
    and vertex/fragment programs.


    2. Should we allow applications to render to different mipmap levels and
    cube map faces?

    In order to discourage the use of this extension as a render to texture
    mechanism, cube maps and rendering directly to mip-map levels > 0 will
    not be supported.  A new FBConfig attribute is introduced that specifies
    whether or not drawables created with that config will support multiple
    mipmap levels when bound to a texture.  The other mipmap levels can be
    filled in by the FBO GenerateMipmapEXT function.


    3. Should 1D textures be supported?

    X servers layered on top of an OpenGL implementation might not be able
    to support this.  A new FBConfig attribute is introduced specifying
    which texture targets a drawable created with the given FBConfig can
    be bound to.


    4. What should the default value for GLX_TEXTURE_TARGET_EXT be?  Should
    users be required to set this value if GLX_TEXTURE_FORMAT_EXT is not
    GLX_TEXTURE_FORMAT_NONE_EXT?

    The implementation is capable of choosing a reasonable default, we simply
    need to specify the correct way to do so.  We can base the ordering on
    the properties of the pixmap and the texturing capabilities of the
    pixmap's FBConfig and the implementation.

    The order is:

    - If GL_ARB_texture_non_power_of_two is supported GL_TEXTURE_2D will
      be used for all pixmap sizes.

    - If only GL_ARB_texture_rectangle is supported GL_TEXTURE_2D will
      be used for all power of two pixmap sizes and GL_TEXTURE_RECTANGLE_ARB
      will be used for all non power of two pixmap sizes.


    5. Should users be required to re-bind the drawable to a texture after
    the drawable has been rendered to?

    It is difficult to define what the contents of the texture would be if
    we don't require this.  Also, requiring this would allow implementations
    to perform an implicit copy at this point if they could not support
    texturing directly out of renderable memory.

    The problem with defining the contents of the texture after rendering
    has occured to the associated drawable is that there is no way to
    synchronize the use of the buffer as a source and as a destination.
    Direct OpenGL rendering is not necessarily done in the same command
    stream as X rendering.  At the time the pixmap is used as the source
    for a texturing operation, it could be in a state halfway through a
    copyarea operation in which half of it is say, white, and half is the
    result of the copyarea operation.  How is this defined?  Worse, some
    other OpenGL application could be halfway through a frame of rendering
    when the composite manager sources from it.  The buffer might just
    contain the results of a "glClear" operation at that point.

    To gurantee tear-free rendering, a composite manager would run as follows:

    -receive request for compositing:
    XGrabServer()
    glXWaitX() or XSync()

    <Do rendering/compositing>

    XUngrabServer()

    Apps that don't synchronize like this would get what's available, 
    and that may or may not be what they expect.

    Despite the above problems with defining the results of rendering
    to a buffer bound as a texture, it is in the best interest of the
    intended users of this extension to not require rebinding of the
    drawable to gurantee valid contents.  Binding is an expensive
    operation, and most users simply don't care about the resulting
    tearing.  This makes things difficult for implementations that must
    perform an implicit copy, but it is still possible to perform this
    copy whenever the contents of the buffer are dirtied and get
    acceptable results.


    6. What is the result of calling GenerateMipmapEXT on a drawable that
    was not created with mipmap levels?

    The results are undefined.


    7. Rendering done by the window system may be y-inverted compared to
    the standard OpenGL texture representation.  Should we define the contents
    of the texture as the y-inverted contents of the drawable?

    X implementations may represent their drawables differently internally,
    so y-inversion should be exposed as an FBConfig attribute.
    Applications will need to query this attribute and adjust their rendering
    appropriately.

    If a drawables is y-inverted and is bound to a texture, the contents of the
    texture will be y-inverted with respect to the standard GL memory layout.
    This means the contents of a pixmap of size (width, height) at pixmap
    coordinate (x, y) will be at location (x, height-y-1) in the texture.
    Applications will need to adjust their texture coordinates accordingly to
    avoid drawing the texture contents upside down.


    8. Why wasn't this extension based on FBO instead of ARB_render_texture?
    Isn't the render_texture extension deprecated?

    At first glance, FBO may seem like the perfect framework to base a spec
    for texturing from pixmap surfaces on.  It replaced the
    WGL_ARB_render_texture specification, which provided a mechanism to
    texture from pbuffer surfaces.  However, this train of thought is another
    side affect of the unfortunate naming of the WGL_ARB_render_texture
    specification.  FBO and the orginal render_texture specification were
    two different solutions to the problem of how to render to and texture
    from the same surface.  WGL_ARB_render_texture provided a method to bind
    a texture to a drawable surface, as this extension does.  FBO provides the
    opposite solution, allowing rendering to arbitrary surfaces including
    textures.  In the case of FBO, the application doing the rendering knows
    that it needs to render to an alternate surface.  In our usage case, the
    app doing the rendering is arbitrary, and has no knowledge that another
    application wants to use the surface it is rendering to as a texture.  The
    only application able to name the surface is the one texturing from it.
    Therefore, it makes sense to provide a mechanism for binding a texture to
    an arbitrary surface in general, and a pixmap in this particular case.


    9. Why not allow binding directly to an X pixmap without creating an
    intermediate GLX pixmap?

    Architecturally, GLX has moved away from operating directly on X
    drawables.  This allows GLX specific attributes to be associated with the
    GLX drawables.  In this case, it is important to associate an FBConfig
    with the drawable.  The FBConfig contains attributes specifying the
    internal format the GL will use when utilizing the drawable's framebuffer
    as a texture.

    Modifications to 3.3.5, "Offscreen Rendering"

    Modify paragraph 3 of the description of glXCreatePixmap:

    <attrib_list> specifies a list of attributes for the pixmap.  The list has
    the same structure as described for glXChooseFBConfig.  Currently the
    following attributes can be specified in attrib_list:
    GLX_TEXTURE_FORMAT_EXT, GLX_TEXTURE_TARGET_EXT, GLX_MIPMAP_TEXTURE_EXT,
    attrib_list may be NULL or empty (first attribute of None), in which case
    all attributes assume their default values as described below.

    GLX_TEXTURE_FORMAT_EXT describes the texture format this pixmap can be
    bound to.  Valid values are GLX_TEXTURE_FORMAT_RGB_EXT and
    GLX_TEXTURE_FORMAT_RGBA_EXT.

    GLX_TEXTURE_TARGET_EXT can be set to GLX_TEXTURE_1D_EXT,
    GLX_TEXTURE_2D_EXT, or GLX_TEXTURE_RECTANGLE_EXT; it indicates the type
    of texture that will be created when GLX_TEXTURE_FORMAT_EXT is not
    GLX_TEXTURE_FORMAT_NONE_EXT.  The default value of GLX_TEXTURE_TARGET_EXT
    depends on the capabilities in <config> and the dimensions of the pixmap.
    If <config> has GLX_TEXTURE_2D_BIT set and one or more of the following is
    true:

        * GLX_TEXTURE_RECTANGLE_BIT_EXT is not set in <config>

        * GL_ARB_texture_non_power_of_two is supported

        * the pixmap's width and height are powers of 2

    the default value for GLX_TEXTURE_TARGET_EXT is GLX_TEXTURE_2D_EXT.

    Otherwise, the first supported target is chosen in this order:
    GLX_TEXTURE_RECTANGLE_EXT, GLX_TEXTURE_1D_EXT.

    GLX_MIPMAP_TEXTURE_EXT indicates that storage for mipmaps should be
    allocated.  Space for mipmaps will be set aside if GLX_TEXTURE_FORMAT_EXT
    is not GLX_TEXTURE_FORMAT_NONE_EXT and GLX_MIPMAP_TEXTURE_EXT is TRUE.
    The default value is FALSE.

    Modify paragraph 5 of the description of glXCreatePixmap:

    ...If <pixmap> is not a valid Pixmap XID, then a BadPixmap error is
    generated.  A BadConfig error is generated if any of the following
    conditions are true:

        * GLX_TEXTURE_FORMAT_EXT is GLX_TEXTURE_FORMAT_RGB_EXT and
          <config> does not have GLX_BIND_TO_TEXTURE_RGB set to TRUE.

        * GLX_TEXTURE_FORMAT_EXT is GLX_TEXTURE_FORMAT_RGBA_EXT and
          <config> does not have GLX_BIND_TO_TEXTURE_RGBA set to TRUE.

        * GLX_MIPMAP_TEXTURE_EXT is set to TRUE and <config> does not
          have GLX_BIND_TO_MIPMAP_EXT set to TRUE.

        * GLX_TEXTURE_TARGET_EXT is set to GLX_TEXTURE_1D_EXT
          and <config> does not have GLX_TEXTURE_1D_BIT_EXT set.

        * GLX_TEXTURE_TARGET_EXT is set to GLX_TEXTURE_2D_EXT
          and <config> does not have GLX_TEXTURE_2D_BIT_EXT set.

        * GLX_TEXTURE_TARGET_EXT is set to GLX_TEXTURE_RECTANGLE_EXT
          and <config> does not have GLX_TEXTURE_RECTANGLE_BIT_EXT set.

    A BadValue error is generated if GLX_TEXTURE_FORMAT_EXT is not
    GLX_TEXTURE_FORMAT_NONE_EXT and the width or height of <pixmap> are
    incompatible with the specified value of GLX_TEXTURE_TARGET_EXT on this
    implementation. (e.g., the pixmap size is not a power of 2 and
    GL_ARB_texture_rectangle is not supported).

    Modify paragraph 1 of the description of glXDestroyPixmap:

    ...The storage for the GLX pixmap will be freed when it is not current
    to any client and all color buffers that are bound to a texture object
    have been released.


    Modifications to seciton 3.3.6, "Querying Attributes"

    Modify paragraph 1 of the description of glXQueryDrawable:

    ...<attribute> must be set to one of GLX_WIDTH, GLX_HEIGHT,
    GLX_PRESERVED_CONTENTS, GLX_LARGEST_PBUFFER, GLX_FBCONFIG_ID,
    GLX_TEXTURE_FORMAT_EXT, GLX_TEXTURE_TARGET_EXT or GLX_MIPMAP_TEXTURE_EXT
    or a BadValue error is generated.

    Modify paragraph 3 of the description of glXQueryDrawable:

    ...If <draw> is a GLXWindow or GLXPixmap and <attribute> is set to
    GLX_PRESERVED_CONTENTS or GLX_LARGEST_PBUFFER, or if <draw> is a
    GLXWindow or GLXPbuffer and <attribute> is set to GLX_TEXTURE_FORMAT_EXT,
    GLX_TEXTURE_TARGET_EXT, or GLX_MIPMAP_TEXTURE_EXT, the contents of <value>
    are undefined.

    Add a new section 3.3.6.1, "Texturing From Drawables"

    The command

        void glXBindTexImageEXT (Display *dpy,
                                 GLXDrawable draw,
                                 int buffer,
                                 int *attrib_list);

    defines a one- or two-dimensional texture image.  The texture image is taken
    from <buffer> and need not be copied.  The texture target, the texture
    format, and the size of the texture components are derived from attributes
    of <draw>.

    The drawable attribute GLX_TEXTURE_FORMAT_EXT determines the base internal
    format of the texture.  The component sizes are also determined by drawable
    attributes as shown in table 3.4a.

    Add new table 3.4a: Size of texture components:

    Texture component Size
    ----------------- --------------
    R                 GLX_RED_SIZE
    G                 GLX_GREEN_SIZE
    B                 GLX_BLUE_SIZE
    A                 GLX_ALPHA_SIZE

    The texture target is derived from the GLX_TEXTURE_TARGET_EXT attribute of
    <draw>.  If the texture target for the drawable is GLX_TEXTURE_2D_EXT or
    GLX_TEXTURE_RECTANGLE_EXT, then buffer defines a 2D texture for the current
    2D or rectangle texture object respectively; if the texture target is
    GLX_TEXTURE_1D_EXT, then buffer defines a 1D texture for the current 1D
    texture object.

    If <buffer> is not one of GLX_FRONT_LEFT_EXT, GLX_FRONT_RIGHT_EXT,
    GLX_BACK_LEFT_EXT, GLX_BACK_RIGHT_EXT, or GLX_AUX0_EXT through
    GLX_AUXn_EXT, where n is one less than the number of AUX buffers supported
    by the FBConfig used to create <draw>, or if the requested buffer is
    missing, a BadValue error is generated.

    <attrib_list> specifies a list of attributes for the texture.  The list has
    the same structure as described for glXChooseFBConfig.  If <attrib_list> is
    NULL or empty (first attribute of None), then all attributes assume their
    default values.  <attrib_list> must be NULL or empty.

    If <dpy> and <draw> are the display and drawable for the calling thread's
    current context, glXBindTexImageEXT performs an implicit glFlush.

    Rendering to the drawable, either using the GL or other means, while it is
    bound to a texture is allowed.  However, no synchronization is done by the
    GL.  The result of texturing from the drawable while it is being rendered
    to is defined only to be a valid operation.  The texels fetched are the
    result of whatever portion of the rendering has become available at the
    time of the texel-fetch operation.  Users requiring more reliable results
    are encouraged to implement their own synchronization as described in the
    issues section of this specification.

    If a texture object is deleted before glXReleaseTexImageEXT is called,
    the color buffer is released.

    It is not an error to call TexImage2D, TexImage1D, CopyTexImage1D, or
    CopyTexImage2D to replace an image of a texture object that has a color
    buffer bound to it.  However, these calls will cause the color buffer to be
    released and new memory to be allocated for the texture.  Note that the
    color buffer is released even if the image that is being defined is a mipmap
    level that was not defined by the color buffer.  GenerateMipmapEXT is an
    exception.  GenerateMipmapEXT can be used to define mipmap levels for
    drawables that have been created with GLX_MIPMAP_TEXTURE_EXT set.  Calling
    GenerateMipmapEXT on a drawable that was created without
    GLX_MIPMAP_TEXTURE_EXT is undefined.

    If glXBindTexImageEXT is called and the drawable attribute
    GLX_TEXTURE_FORMAT_EXT is GLX_TEXTURE_FORMAT_NONE_EXT, then a BadMatch
    error is generated.

    Currently, only pixmaps can be bound to textures.  If <draw> is not a
    valid GLXPixmap, then a GLXBadPixmap error is generated.

    glXBindTexImageEXT is ignored if there is no current GLX rendering context.

    To release a color buffer that is being used as a texture, call

       void glXReleaseTexImageEXT (Dislpay *dpy, GLXDrawable draw, int buffer);

    <buffer> must be one of GLX_FRONT_LEFT_EXT, GLX_FRONT_RIGHT_EXT,
    GLX_BACK_LEFT_EXT, GLX_BACK_RIGHT_EXT, and GLX_AUX0_EXT through
    GLX_AUXn_EXT, where n is one less than the number of AUX buffers
    supported by the FBConfig used to create <draw> or a BadValue error
    is generated.

    The contents of the color buffer are unaffected by glXReleaseTexImageEXT.

    If the specified color buffer is no longer bound to a texture (e.g.,
    because the texture object was deleted), then glXReleaseTexImageEXT has no effect;
    no error is generated.

    When a color buffer is released (e.g., by calling glXReleaseTexImageEXT or
    implicitly by calling a routine such as TexImage2D), all textures that were
    defined by the color buffer become NULL.

    If glXReleaseTexImageEXT is called and the drawable attribute
    GLX_TEXTURE_FORMAT_EXT is GLX_TEXTURE_FORMAT_NONE_EXT, then a BadMatch
    error is generated.

    Currently, only pixmaps can be bound to textures.  If <draw> is not a
    valid GLXPixmap, then a GLXBadPixmap error is generated.


Usage Examples

    Example 1: Bind redirected window to texture:

    XGetWindowAttributes (display, window, &attrib);

    visualid = XVisualIDFromVisual (attrib.visual);

    fbconfigs = glXGetFBConfigs (display, screen, &nfbconfigs);
    for (i = 0; i < nfbconfigs; i++)
    {
        visinfo = glXGetVisualFromFBConfig (display, fbconfigs[i]);
        if (!visinfo || visinfo->visualid != visualid)
            continue;

        glXGetFBConfigAttrib (display, fbconfigs[i], GLX_DRAWABLE_TYPE, &value);
        if (!(value & GLX_PIXMAP_BIT))
            continue;

        glXGetFBConfigAttrib (display, fbconfigs[i],
                              GLX_BIND_TO_TEXTURE_TARGETS_EXT,
                              &value);
        if (!(value & GLX_TEXTURE_2D_BIT_EXT))
            continue;

        glXGetFBConfigAttrib (display, fbconfigs[i],
                              GLX_BIND_TO_TEXTURE_RGBA_EXT,
                              &value);
        if (value == FALSE)
        {
            glXGetFBConfigAttrib (display, fbconfigs[i],
                                  GLX_BIND_TO_TEXTURE_RGB_EXT,
                                  &value);
            if (value == FALSE)
                continue;
        }

        glXGetFBConfigAttrib (display, fbconfigs[i],
                              GLX_Y_INVERTED_EXT,
                              &value);
        if (value == TRUE)
        {
            top = 0.0f;
            bottom = 1.0f;
        }
        else
        {
            top = 1.0f;
            bottom = 0.0f;
        }

	break;
    }

    if (i == nfbconfigs)
        /* error 1 */

    pixmap = XCompositeNameWindowPixmap (display, window);
    pixmapAttribs = { GLX_TEXTURE_TARGET_ARB, GLX_TEXTURE_2D_EXT, None };
    glxpixmap = glXCreatePixmap (display, fbconfigs[i], pixmap, pixmapAttribs);

    glGenTextures (1, &texture);
    glBindTexture (GL_TEXTURE_2D, texture);

    status = glXBindTexImageEXT (display, glxpixmap, GLX_FRONT_LEFT_EXT, NULL);
    if (status != TRUE)
       /* error 2 */

    glTexParameteri (GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER, GL_LINEAR);
    glTexParameteri (GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER, GL_LINEAR);

    /* draw using pixmap as texture */
    glBegin (GL_QUADS);

    glTexCoord2d (0.0f, bottom);
    glVertex2d (0.0f, 0.0f);

    glTexCoord2d (0.0f, top);
    glVertex2d (0.0f, 1.0f);

    glTexCoord2d (1.0f, top);
    glVertex2d (1.0f, 1.0f);

    glTexCoord2d (1.0f, bottom);
    glVertex2d (1.0f, 0.0f);

    glEnd ();

    glXReleaseTexImageEXT (display, glxpixmap, GLX_FRONT_LEFT_EXT);


Version History
    
    1. 26 Nov 2005 - DavidR
        Initial version
    2. 01 Dec 2005 - JamesJ
        -Adapted spec language from draft version of GLX_ARB_render_texture.
        -Added glXDrawableAttribute to set attributes.
        -Modified glXBindTexImageEXT to take an attrib_list parameter.
        -Added support for cubemap and 1D texture targets.
        -Added attribute to set the texture target when creating the
         drawable.
        -Updated the issues section.
        -Added mipmap support.  Support is not required.
        -Specified results of texturing from a drawable when it has been
         rendered to while bound to a texture as undefined until
         glXReleaseTexImageEXT has been called.  Allows implementations
         that need to perform an implicit copy after rendering occurs
         to be compatible with this specification.
    3. 04 Dec 2005 - DavidR
        -Changed name to GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap.
        -Changed spec regarding what happens when a pixmap that is bound
         to a texture is rendered to. Having textures be undefined once
         they are rendered to makes it useless for a compositing manager,
         which is a major use case for this extension.
        -Added support for not specifying texture target when creating a
         pixmap. Allows implementations to select whatever target it
         finds most suitable.
    4. 05 Dec 2005 - JamesJ
        -Changed the default value of GLX_TEXTURE_TARGET_EXT from
         GLX_NO_TEXTURE_EXT to something usable.  Eliminated
         GLX_NO_TEXTURE_EXT.
        -Eliminated GLX_TEXTURE_NONE_EXT.
        -Removed language referring to sharing of color buffers when
         pixmaps are bound to textures.
        -Updated issues.

    5. 13 Dec 2005 - JamesJ
        -Removed cube map support and rendering to multiple mipmap
         levels support.

    6. 20 Jan 2006 - JamesJ
        -Specified textures are y-inverted.

    7. 23 Jan 2006 - AaronP
        -Fix typos, make some things clearer.  Replace ocurrences of "released
         back to the drawable" with "released".

    8. 01 Feb 2006 - AndyR
        -Fix minor typos.

    9. 03 Feb 2006 - JamesJ
        -Added some new issues and their resolutions.
	-Finalized some issues that had been in discussion.
        -Made drawable y-inversion a queryable attribute of the drawable.
        -Moved detailed explanation of y-inverted addressing to the issues
         section
        -Updated example to demonstrate proper use of the y-inverted
         attribute.

    10. 06 Feb 2006 - DavidR
        -Made GLX_Y_INVERTED_EXT an FBConfig attribute instead of a drawable
         attribute.
        -Removed GLX_TEXTURE_CUBE_MAP_EXT.
        -Fix minor typo.
