DESCRIPTION
       Texturing maps a portion of a specified texture image onto each graphical primitive for which textur-ing texturing
       ing is enabled.  To enable and disable three-dimensional texturing, call glEnable and glDisable  with
       argument GL_TEXTURE_3D.

       To  define  texture  images, call glTexImage3D.  The arguments describe the parameters of the texture
       image,  such  as  height,  width,  depth,  width  of  the   border,   level-of-detail   number   (see
       glTexParameter),  and number of color components provided.  The last three arguments describe how the
       image is represented in memory; they are identical to the pixel formats used for glDrawPixels.

       If target is GL_PROXY_TEXTURE_3D, no data is read from pixels, but all of the texture image state  is
       recalculated,  checked for consistency, and checked against the implementation's capabilities. If the
       implementation cannot handle a texture of the requested texture size, it sets all of the image  state
       to  0,  but  does not generate an error (see glGetError). To query for an entire mipmap array, use an
       image array level greater than or equal to 1.

       If target is GL_TEXTURE_3D, data is read from pixels as a  sequence  of  signed  or  unsigned  bytes,
       shorts,  or  longs,  or  single-precision floating-point values, depending on type.  These values are
       grouped into sets of one, two, three, or four values, depending on format, to form elements.  If type
       is  GL_BITMAP,  the  data  is  considered  as  a  string  of  unsigned  bytes  (and  format  must  be
       GL_COLOR_INDEX).  Each data byte is treated as eight 1-bit elements, with bit ordering determined  by
       GL_UNPACK_LSB_FIRST (see glPixelStore).

       The  first  element  corresponds  to the lower left corner of the texture image.  Subsequent elements
       progress left-to-right through the remaining texels in the lowest row of the texture image, and  then
       in  successively  higher rows of the texture image.  The final element corresponds to the upper right
       corner of the texture image.

       format determines the composition of each element in pixels.  It can assume one  of  eleven  symbolic
       values:

       GL_COLOR_INDEX
                 Each  element is a single value, a color index.  The GL converts it to fixed point (with an
                 unspecified number of zero bits to the right of the binary point), shifted  left  or  right
                 depending on the value and sign of GL_INDEX_SHIFT, and added to GL_INDEX_OFFSET (see
                 glPixelTransfer).   The resulting index is converted to a set of color components using the
                 GL_PIXEL_MAP_I_TO_R,  GL_PIXEL_MAP_I_TO_G,  GL_PIXEL_MAP_I_TO_B,  and   GL_PIXEL_MAP_I_TO_A
                 tables, and clamped to the range [0,1].

       GL_RED    Each element is a single red component.  The GL converts it to floating point and assembles
                 it into an RGBA element by attaching 0 for green and blue, and 1 for alpha.  Each component
                 is  then  multiplied  by  the  signed  scale  factor  GL_c_SCALE,  added to the signed bias
                 GL_c_BIAS, and clamped to the range [0,1] (see glPixelTransfer).

       GL_GREEN  Each element is a single green component.  The GL converts it to floating point and  assem-bles assembles
                 bles it into an RGBA element by attaching 0 for red and blue, and 1 for alpha.  Each compo-nent component
                 nent is then multiplied by the signed scale factor GL_c_SCALE, added  to  the  signed  bias
                 GL_c_BIAS, and clamped to the range [0,1] (see glPixelTransfer).

       GL_BLUE   Each  element  is a single blue component.  The GL converts it to floating point and assem-bles assembles
                 bles it into an RGBA element by attaching 0 for red and green, and 1 for alpha.  Each  com-ponent component
                 ponent  is  then multiplied by the signed scale factor GL_c_SCALE, added to the signed bias
                 GL_c_BIAS, and clamped to the range [0,1] (see glPixelTransfer).

       GL_ALPHA  Each element is a single alpha component.  The GL converts it to floating point and  assem-bles assembles
                 bles  it  into  an RGBA element by attaching 0 for red, green, and blue.  Each component is
                 then multiplied by the signed scale factor GL_c_SCALE, added to the signed bias  GL_c_BIAS,
                 and clamped to the range [0,1] (see glPixelTransfer).

       GL_RGB

       GL_BGR    Each  element is an RGB triple.  The GL converts it to floating point and assembles it into
                 an RGBA element by attaching 1 for alpha.  Each component is then multiplied by the  signed
                 scale factor GL_c_SCALE, added to the signed bias GL_c_BIAS, and clamped to the range [0,1]
                 (see
                 glPixelTransfer).

       GL_RGBA

       GL_BGRA   Each element contains all four components.  Each component  is  multiplied  by  the  signed
                 scale factor GL_c_SCALE, added to the signed bias GL_c_BIAS, and clamped to the range [0,1]
                 (see glPixelTransfer).

       GL_LUMINANCE
                 Each element is a single luminance value.  The GL  converts  it  to  floating  point,  then
                 assembles  it  into an RGBA element by replicating the luminance value three times for red,
                 green, and blue and attaching 1 for alpha.  Each component is then multiplied by the signed
                 scale factor GL_c_SCALE, added to the signed bias GL_c_BIAS, and clamped to the range [0,1]
                 (see glPixelTransfer).

       GL_LUMINANCE_ALPHA
                 Each element is a luminance/alpha pair.  The GL converts it to floating point, then  assem-bles assembles
                 bles it into an RGBA element by replicating the luminance value three times for red, green,
                 and blue.  Each component is then multiplied by the signed scale factor  GL_c_SCALE,  added
                 to the signed bias GL_c_BIAS, and clamped to the range [0,1] (see
                 glPixelTransfer).

       Refer  to  the  glDrawPixels  reference  page for a description of the acceptable values for the type
       parameter.

       If an application wants to store the texture at a certain resolution or in a certain , it can request
       the  resolution  and  with internalformat. The GL will choose an internal representation that closely
       approximates that requested by internalformat, but it may not match  exactly.   (The  representations
       specified  by  GL_LUMINANCE,  GL_LUMINANCE_ALPHA, GL_RGB, and GL_RGBA must match exactly. The numeric
       values 1, 2, 3, and 4 may also be used to specify the above representations.)

       Use the GL_PROXY_TEXTURE_3D target to try out a resolution and update and recompute  its  best  match
       for the requested storage resolution and . To then query this state, call glGetTexLevelParameter.  If
       the texture cannot be accommodated, texture state is set to 0.

       A one-component texture image uses only the red component of the RGBA color extracted from pixels.  A
       two-component image uses the R and A values.  A three-component image uses the R, G, and B values.  A
       four-component image uses all of the RGBA components.

NOTES
       Texturing has no effect in color index mode.

       The texture image can be represented by the same data formats as the pixels in  a  glDrawPixels  com-mand, command,
       mand,  except  that  GL_STENCIL_INDEX  and  GL_DEPTH_COMPONENT  cannot  be  used.   glPixelStore  and
       glPixelTransfer modes affect texture images in exactly the way they affect glDrawPixels.


       glTexImage3D is available only if the GL version is 1.2 or greater.

       Internal formats other than 1, 2, 3, or 4 may be used only if the GL version is 1.1 or greater.

       pixels may be a null pointer.  In this case texture memory is allocated to accommodate a  texture  of
       width  width,  height  height, and depth depth.  You can then download subtextures to initialize this
       texture memory.  The image is undefined if the user tries to apply an uninitialized  portion  of  the
       texture image to a primitive.

       Formats   GL_BGR,   and   GL_BGRA   and   types  GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE_3_3_2,  GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE_2_3_3_REV,
       GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT_5_6_5,           GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT_5_6_5_REV,            GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT_4_4_4_4,
       GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT_4_4_4_4_REV,        GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT_5_5_5_1,       GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT_1_5_5_5_REV,
       GL_UNSIGNED_INT_8_8_8_8,      GL_UNSIGNED_INT_8_8_8_8_REV,      GL_UNSIGNED_INT_10_10_10_2,       and
       GL_UNSIGNED_INT_2_10_10_10_REV are available only if the GL version is 1.2 or greater.

       When  the  GL_ARB_multitexture  extension  is supported, glTexImage3D specifies the three-dimensional
       texture for the current texture unit, specified with glActiveTextureARB.

       If the GL_ARB_imaging extension is supported, RGBA elements may also  be  processed  by  the  imaging
       pipeline.   The  following  stages may be applied to an RGBA color before color component clamping to
       the range [0, 1]:

       1. Color component replacement by the color table specified for
          GL_COLOR_TABLE, if enabled. See glColorTable.

       2. Color component replacement by the color table specified for
          GL_POST_CONVOLUTION_COLOR_TABLE, if enabled.  See glColorTable.

       3. Transformation by the color matrix.  See glMatrixMode.

       4. RGBA components may be multiplied by GL_POST_COLOR_MATRIX_c_SCALE,
          and added to GL_POST_COLOR_MATRIX_c_BIAS, if enabled.  See glPixelTransfer.

       5. Color component replacement by the color table specified for
          GL_POST_COLOR_MATRIX_COLOR_TABLE, if enabled.  See glColorTable.

ERRORS
       GL_INVALID_ENUM is generated if target is not GL_TEXTURE_3D or GL_PROXY_TEXTURE_3D.

       GL_INVALID_ENUM is generated if format is not an accepted
        constant.  Format constants other than GL_STENCIL_INDEX and GL_DEPTH_COMPONENT are accepted.

       GL_INVALID_ENUM is generated if type is not a type constant.

       GL_INVALID_ENUM is generated if type is GL_BITMAP and format is not GL_COLOR_INDEX.

       GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated if level is less than 0.


       GL_INVALID_VALUE may be generated if level is greater than log2(max), where max is the returned value
       of GL_MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE.

       GL_INVALID_VALUE  is generated if internalformat is not 1, 2, 3, 4, or one of the accepted resolution
       and  symbolic constants.

       GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated if width, height, or  depth  is  less  than  0  or  greater  than  2  +
       GL_MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE,  or if either cannot be represented as 2^k +2 (border) for some integer value of
       k.

       GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated if border is not 0 or 1.

       GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if glTexImage3D is executed between the execution  of  glBegin  and
       the corresponding execution of glEnd.

       GL_INVALID_OPERATION     is     generated    if    type    is    one    of    GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE_3_3_2,
       GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE_2_3_3_REV, GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT_5_6_5, or GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT_5_6_5_REV and format is not
       GL_RGB.

       GL_INVALID_OPERATION    is    generated    if    type    is    one    of   GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT_4_4_4_4,
       GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT_4_4_4_4_REV,       GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT_5_5_5_1,        GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT_1_5_5_5_REV,
