NAME
       gluBuild3DMipmapLevels - builds a subset of three-dimensional mipmap levels


C SPECIFICATION
       GLint gluBuild3DMipmapLevels( GLenum target,
                                     GLint internalFormat,
                                     GLsizei width,
                                     GLsizei height,
                                     GLsizei depth,
                                     GLenum format,
                                     GLenum type,
                                     GLint level,
                                     GLint base,
                                     GLint max,
                                     const void *data )


PARAMETERS
       target          Specifies the target texture.  Must be GL_TEXTURE_3D.

       internalFormat  Requests  the internal storage format of the texture image.  The most current version
                       of the SGI implementation of GLU does not check this value for validity before  pass-ing passing
                       ing  it  on to the underlying OpenGL implementation.  A value that is not accepted by
                       the OpenGL implementation will lead to an OpenGL error.  The benefit of not  checking
                       this  value  at  the GLU level is that OpenGL extensions can add new internal texture
                       formats without requiring a revision of the GLU  implementation.   Older  implementa-tions implementations
                       tions of GLU check this value and raise a GLU error if it is not 1, 2, 3, or 4 or one
                       of the following symbolic  constants:  GL_ALPHA,  GL_ALPHA4,  GL_ALPHA8,  GL_ALPHA12,
                       GL_ALPHA16,     GL_LUMINANCE,     GL_LUMINANCE4,    GL_LUMINANCE8,    GL_LUMINANCE12,
                       GL_LUMINANCE16,   GL_LUMINANCE_ALPHA,   GL_LUMINANCE4_ALPHA4,   GL_LUMINANCE6_ALPHA2,
                       GL_LUMINANCE8_ALPHA8,          GL_LUMINANCE12_ALPHA4,         GL_LUMINANCE12_ALPHA12,
                       GL_LUMINANCE16_ALPHA16, GL_INTENSITY, GL_INTENSITY4,  GL_INTENSITY8,  GL_INTENSITY12,

                       or GL_RGBA16.

       width, height, depth
                       Specifies  in  pixels the width, height and depth respectively, of the texture image.
                       These should be a power of 2.

       format          Specifies  the  format  of  the  pixel  data.   Must  be   one   of   GL_COLOR_INDEX,
                       GL_DEPTH_COMPONENT,  GL_RED,  GL_GREEN,  GL_BLUE,  GL_ALPHA, GL_RGB, GL_RGBA, GL_BGR,
                       GL_BGRA, GL_LUMINANCE, or GL_LUMINANCE_ALPHA.

                       GL_BITMAP,    GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT,   GL_SHORT,   GL_UNSIGNED_INT,   GL_INT,   GL_FLOAT,

                       GL_UNSIGNED_INT_10_10_10_2, or GL_UNSIGNED_INT_2_10_10_10_REV.

       level           Specifies the mipmap level of the image data.

       max             Specifies the maximum mipmap level to pass to glTexImage3D.

       data            Specifies a pointer to the image data in memory.

DESCRIPTION
       gluBuild3DMipmapLevels builds a subset of prefiltered three-dimensional texture  maps  of  decreasing
       resolutions called a mipmap. This is used for the antialiasing of texture mapped primitives.

       A   return   value  of  zero  indicates  success,  otherwise  a  GLU  error  code  is  returned  (see
       gluErrorString).

       A series of mipmap levels from base to max is built by decimating data in half along both  dimensions
       until  size  1x1x1  is reached. At each level, each texel in the halved mipmap level is an average of
       the corresponding eight texels in the larger mipmap level. (If exactly one of the  dimensions  is  1,
       four  texels are averaged.  If exactly two of the dimensions are 1, two texels are averaged.)  glTex-Image3D glTexImage3D
       Image3D is called to load these mipmap levels from base to max. If max is  larger  than  the  highest
       mipmap  level  for  the  texture  of  the  specified  size,  then  a  GLU error code is returned (see
       gluErrorString) and nothing is loaded.

       For example, if level is 2 and width is 16, height is 8 and depth is 4, the following levels are pos-sible: possible:
       sible:  16x8x4, 8x4x2, 4x2x1, 2x1x1, 1x1x1.  These correspond to levels 2 through 6 respectively.  If
       base is 3 and max is 5, then only mipmap levels 8x4x2, 4x2x1 and 2x1x1 are loaded. However, if max is
       7  then an error is returned and nothing is loaded, since max is larger than the highest mipmap level
       which is, in this case, 6.

       The highest mipmap level can be derived from the formula log2( max (width,height,depth) 2^level).

       See the glTexImage1D reference page for a description of the acceptable values for format  parameter.
       See the glDrawPixels reference page for a description of the acceptable values for type parameter.

ERRORS
       GLU_INVALID_VALUE  is  returned  if level > base, base < 0, max < base or max is > the highest mipmap
       level for data.

       format is not GL_RGB.

       GLU_INVALID_OPERATION  is  returned if type is GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT_5_6_5 or GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT_5_6_5_REV
       and format is not GL_RGB.

       GLU_INVALID_OPERATION     is     returned     if     type     is     GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT_4_4_4_4     or
       GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT_4_4_4_4_REV and format is neither GL_RGBA nor GL_BGRA.

       GLU_INVALID_OPERATION     is     returned     if     type     is     GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT_5_5_5_1     or
       GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT_1_5_5_5_REV and format is neither GL_RGBA nor GL_BGRA.

       GLU_INVALID_OPERATION is returned if type is GL_UNSIGNED_INT_8_8_8_8  or  GL_UNSIGNED_INT_8_8_8_8_REV
       and format is neither GL_RGBA nor GL_BGRA.

       GLU_INVALID_OPERATION     is     returned     if     type     is     GL_UNSIGNED_INT_10_10_10_2    or
       GL_UNSIGNED_INT_2_10_10_10_REV and format is neither GL_RGBA nor GL_BGRA.
