    EGL Extension #??

Dependencies

    This extension is written against the wording of the EGL 1.2
    Specification.

    References the EGL_ANGLE_device_d3d and EGL_KHR_image_base extensions.

Overview

    This extension allows creating EGL surfaces and EGL images from D3D texture
    objects.

New Types

    None

New Procedures and Functions

    None

New Tokens

    Accepted by the <target> parameter of eglCreateImageKHR and <buftype>
    parameter of eglCreatePbufferFromClientBuffer:

        EGL_D3D_TEXTURE_ANGLE            0x33A3

Additions to Chapter 2 of the EGL 1.2 Specification (EGL Operation)

    Add to section 2.5.1 "EGLImage Specification" (as defined by the
    EGL_KHR_image_base specification), in the description of
    eglCreateImageKHR:

   "Values accepted for <target> are listed in Table aaa, below.

      +----------------------------+-----------------------------------------+
      |  <target>                  |  Notes                                  |
      +----------------------------+-----------------------------------------+
      |  EGL_D3D_TEXTURE_ANGLE     |  Used for Direct3D11 texture objects    |
      +----------------------------+-----------------------------------------+
       Table aaa.  Legal values for eglCreateImageKHR <target> parameter

    ...

    If <target> is EGL_D3D_TEXTURE_ANGLE, <dpy> must be a valid display, <ctx>
    must be EGL_NO_CONTEXT, <buffer> must be a pointer to a valid D3D11 texture
    object (cast into the type EGLClientBuffer), and attributes other than
    EGL_TEXTURE_INTERNAL_FORMAT_ANGLE, EGL_TEXTURE_OFFSET_X_ANGLE, or
    EGL_TEXTURE_OFFSET_Y_ANGLE are ignored. The width and height of the pbuffer
    are determined by the width and height of <buffer>.

    If EGL_TEXTURE_INTERNAL_FORMAT_ANGLE is specified, it is used to interpret
    <buffer> according to the provided internal format. See table
    egl.restrictions for acceptable texture object types and formats.

    If EGL_D3D11_TEXTURE_PLANE_ANGLE is specified, it is used to access the
    specified plane of <buffer>. See table egl.restrictions for acceptable
    values.

    If EGL_D3D11_TEXTURE_ARRAY_SLICE_ANGLE is specified, it is used to access
    the specified array slice of the texture array <buffer>.

    If EGL_TEXTURE_OFFSET_X_ANGLE or EGL_TEXTURE_OFFSET_Y_ANGLE are specified,
    they must be non-negative and are used to offset all rendering into the
    surface including blits, clears and draws.

    If the EGL_ANGLE_device_d3d extension is present, the provided D3D11 texture
    object must have been created by the same D3D11 device queried from the
    display. If these requirements are not met, an EGL_BAD_PARAMETER error is
    generated."

Additions to Chapter 3 of the EGL 1.2 Specification (EGL Functions and Errors)

    Replace the last sentence of paragraph 1 of Section 3.5.3 with the
    following text.
    "Currently, the only client API resources which may be bound in this
    fashion are OpenVG VGImage objects and Direct3D texture objects."

    Replace the last sentence of paragraph 2 ("To bind a client API...") of
    Section 3.5.3 with the following text.
    "When <buftype> is EGL_OPENVG_IMAGE or EGL_D3D_TEXTURE_ANGLE, the width and
    height of the pbuffer are determined by the width and height of <buffer>."

    Replace the third paragraph of Section 3.5.3 with the following text.
    "<buftype> specifies the type of buffer to be bound. The only allowed values
    of <buftype> are EGL_OPENVG_IMAGE and EGL_D3D_TEXTURE_ANGLE".

    Append the following text to the fourth paragraph of Section 3.5.3.
    "When <buftype> is EGL_D3D_TEXTURE_ANGLE, <buffer> must be
    a valid D3D texture object, cast into the type EGLClientBuffer. See table
    egl.restrictions for acceptable texture object types and formats. If the
    EGL_ANGLE_device_d3d extension is present, the provided D3D texture object
    must have been created by the same D3D device queried from the display.
    If these requirements are not met, an EGL_BAD_PARAMETER error is
    generated."

    Append to the fifth paragraph of Section 3.5.3.
    "In addition, in case buftype is EGL_D3D_TEXTURE_ANGLE and the D3D resource
    has a typeless DXGI format, attrib_list may contain the attribute
    EGL_GL_COLORSPACE."

    Append to the end of Section 3.5.3.
    "When a pbuffer is created with type EGL_D3D_TEXTURE_ANGLE, the contents
    of the associcated D3D texture object are undefined while the pbuffer is
    the current read surface, draw surface or bound to a client texture."

    Append to the end of Section 3.5.3.
    "When a pbuffer is created with type EGL_D3D_TEXTURE_ANGLE, and the
    EGL_GL_COLORSPACE attribute is not specified in attrib_list, the
    EGL_GL_COLORSPACE attribute of the surface is determined by the DXGI format
    of the Direct3D texture. For *_SRGB DXGI formats, the value of
    EGL_GL_COLORSPACE is EGL_GL_COLORSPACE_SRGB. For other formats including
    *_TYPELESS DXGI formats, the value of EGL_GL_COLORSPACE defaults to
    EGL_GL_COLORSPACE_LINEAR."

Issues

    1. What renderers allow the use of a multi-sampled texture?

    PROPOSED: Multi-sampled texture support is currently limited to D3D11.
    Additionally, the client is responsible for resolving the texture.

    2. How does this extension interact with EXT_sRGB_write_control?

    If GL_FRAMEBUFFER_SRGB_EXT is disabled and a pbuffer created from a D3D
    texture with an *_SRGB format is being rendered to, it is undefined whether
    SRGB conversion will be performed.

    3. What renderers allow the use of typeless textures?

    PROPOSED: Support for typeless textures is currently limited to D3D11.

    4. Can RGB formats be supported?

    RESOLVED: RGB internal formats are supported for creating images from D3D11
    textures in version 5 by setting EGL_TEXTURE_INTERNAL_FORMAT_ANGLE attribute
    to GL_RGB. Images with an RGB format will ensure that the alpha channel of
    the texture is reset to 1.0 when it is used.

    5. What operations do the texture offsets affect?

    RESOLVED: The texture offsets specified by EGL_TEXTURE_OFFSET_X_ANGLE and
    EGL_TEXTURE_OFFSET_Y_ANGLE affect only rendering into the surface.
    Specifically these affect the internal D3D viewport and scissor rect states
    for draws, clears, and blits. This is needed to apply the update offset
    returned by calling BeginDraw() on IDCompositionSurface, and is needed for
    correct rendering in that case.
