glGetPixelMapfv, glGetPixelMapuiv, glGetPixelMapusv

These functions return the specified pixel map.

void glGetPixelMapfv(
  GLenum map,        
  GLfloat * values   
);
 
void glGetPixelMapuiv(
  GLenum map,       
  GLuint * values   
);
 
void glGetPixelMapusv(
  GLenum map,         
  GLushort * values   
);

Parameters

map
The name of the pixel map to return. Accepted values are GL_PIXEL_MAP_I_TO_I, GL_PIXEL_MAP_S_TO_S, GL_PIXEL_MAP_I_TO_R, GL_PIXEL_MAP_I_TO_G, GL_PIXEL_MAP_I_TO_B, GL_PIXEL_MAP_I_TO_A, GL_PIXEL_MAP_R_TO_R, GL_PIXEL_MAP_G_TO_G, GL_PIXEL_MAP_B_TO_B, and GL_PIXEL_MAP_A_TO_A.
values
Returns the pixel map contents.

Remarks

See glPixelMap for a description of the acceptable values for the map parameter. The glGetPixelMap function returns in values the contents of the pixel map specified in map. Use pixel maps during the execution of glReadPixels, glDrawPixels, glCopyPixels, glTexImage1D, and glTexImage2D to map color indexes, stencil indexes, color components, and depth components to other values.

Unsigned integer values, if requested, are linearly mapped from the internal fixed or floating-point representation such that 1.0 maps to the largest representable integer value, and 0.0 maps to zero. Return unsigned integer values are undefined if the map value was not in the range [0,1].

To determine the required size of map, call glGet with the appropriate symbolic constant.

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