  <overview>

    <p>This extension exposes the

      <a href="http://angleproject.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/extensions/ANGLE_depth_texture.txt">ANGLE_depth_texture</a>

      functionality to WebGL. ANGLE_depth_texture provides a subset of the

      functionality from the OpenGL ES 2.0 extensions

      <a href="http://www.khronos.org/registry/gles/extensions/OES/OES_depth_texture.txt">OES_depth_texture</a>

and

      <a href="http://www.khronos.org/registry/gles/extensions/OES/OES_packed_depth_stencil.txt">OES_packed_depth_stencil</a>, with certain restrictions added for portability reasons. Specifically:</p>

      <ul>

      <li> ANGLE_depth_texture provides both depth and depth/stencil textures. </li>

      <li> ANGLE_depth_texture does not provide the <code>DEPTH24_STENCIL8_OES</code> renderbuffer internal format from the OES_packed_depth_stencil extension. The core WebGL specification already supports allocation of depth/stencil renderbuffers. </li>

      <li> ANGLE_depth_texture does not support loading image data via the TexImage or TexSubImage commands. Depth and depth/stencil textures created via this extension can only have their contents specified by rendering to them. </li>

      </ul>

    <p>Consult the Errors section below for specific restrictions.

        The <code>texImage2D</code> entry point is extended to accept the

      </feature>

      <feature>

        The <code>texImage2D</code> entry point is extended to accept the

        The <code>framebufferTexture2D</code> entry point is extended to

        accept the <code>target</code> parameter

        <code>DEPTH_ATTACHMENT</code> and

        <code>DEPTH_STENCIL_ATTACHMENT</code>

      </feature>

      <feature>

        The <code>texImage2D</code> entry point is extended to accept

        <code>ArrayBufferView</code> of type <code>Uint16Array</code> and

      </feature>

      <feature>

<p>

          The WebGL-specific constraints about <a href="http://www.khronos.org/registry/webgl/specs/1.0/#FBO_ATTACHMENTS">Framebuffer Object Attachments</a> are extended:</p>

          <ul>

          <li> A texture attached to an FBO's <code>DEPTH_ATTACHMENT</code> attachment point must be allocated with the <code>DEPTH_COMPONENT</code> internal format. </li>

          <li> A texture attached to the <code>DEPTH_STENCIL_ATTACHMENT</code> attachment point must be allocated with the <code>DEPTH_STENCIL</code> internal format. </li>

          </ul>

<p>

          In the WebGL API, it is an error to concurrently attach either

          renderbuffers or textures to the following combinations of

          attachment points:</p>

          <ul>

          <li> <code>DEPTH_ATTACHMENT</code> + <code>DEPTH_STENCIL_ATTACHMENT</code> </li>

          <li> <code>STENCIL_ATTACHMENT</code> + <code>DEPTH_STENCIL_ATTACHMENT</code> </li>

          <li> <code>DEPTH_ATTACHMENT</code> + <code>STENCIL_ATTACHMENT</code> </li>

          </ul>

<p>

          See the section

          <a href="http://www.khronos.org/registry/webgl/specs/1.0/#FBO_ATTACHMENTS">Framebuffer Object Attachments</a>

          in the WebGL specification for the behavior if these

          constraints are violated.

        </p>

      </feature>

      <feature>

<p>

          As per the OpenGL ES spec, there is no guarantee that the OpenGL ES implementation

          will use the texture type to determine how to store the depth texture internally.

          It may choose to downsample the 32-bit depth values to 16-bit or even 24-bit.

          When a depth or depth/stencil texture is attached to a framebuffer object, calls to getParameter

          with the DEPTH_BITS and STENCIL_BITS enums return the following:

          <table>

            <tr>

              <th>Texture Type</th>

              <th>DEPTH_BITS (GLint)</th>

              <th>STENCIL_BITS (GLint)</th>

            </tr>

            <tr>

              <td>UNSIGNED_SHORT</td>

              <td>>= 16</td>

              <td>0</td>

            </tr>

            <tr>

              <td>UNSIGNED_INT</td>

              <td>>= 16</td>

              <td>0</td>

            </tr>

            <tr>

              <td>UNSIGNED_INT_24_8_WEBGL</td>

              <td>>= 24</td>

              <td>>= 8</td>

            </tr>

          </table>

  <issues>

<p>

      As per the ANGLE_depth_texture specification, when a depth

      texture is sampled, the value is stored into the RED channel.

      The contents of the GREEN, BLUE and ALPHA channels are

      implementation dependent. It is therefore recommended to use

      only the <code>r</code> component of variables in GLSL shaders

      that are used to reference depth textures.
