SDL_GL_BindTexture

Use this function to bind an OpenGL/ES/ES2 texture to the current context for use with OpenGL instructions when rendering OpenGL primitives directly.

Syntax

int SDL_GL_BindTexture(SDL_Texture* texture,
                       float*       texw,
                       float*       texh)

Function Parameters

texture

the texture to bind to the current OpenGL/ES/ES2 context

texw

a pointer to a float value which will be filled with the texture width or NULL if you don't need that value

texh

a pointer to a float value which will be filled with the texture height or NULL if you don't need that value

Return Value

Returns 0 on success, or -1 if the operation is not supported; call SDL_GetError() for more information.

Code Examples

The following are three examples extracted from the Ignifuga Game Engine that show how to integrate libRocket (which uses OpenGL for rendering) with SDL2.

Remarks

If provided, texw and texh will be filled with the width and height values suitable for the provided texture. In most cases, both will be 1.0, however, on systems that support the GL_ARB_texture_rectangle extension, these values will actually be the pixel width and height used to create the texture, so this factor needs to be taken into account when providing texture coordinates to OpenGL.

You need a renderer to create a SDL_Texture, therefore you can only use this function with an implicit OpenGL context from SDL_CreateRenderer(), not with your own OpenGL context. If you need control over your OpenGL context, you need to write your own texture-loading methods.

Also note that SDL may upload RGB textures as BGR (or vice-versa), and re-order the color channels in the shaders phase, so the uploaded texture may have swapped color channels.

Version

This function is available since SDL 2.0.0.
