DESCRIPTION

glClearBufferSubData and glClearNamedBufferSubData fill a specified region of a buffer object's data store with data from client memory.

offset and size specify the extent of the region within the data store of the buffer object to fill with data. Data, initially supplied in a format specified by format in data type type is read from the memory address given by data and converted into the internal representation given by internalformat, which must be one of the following sized internal formats:
 |  |  |  | Component
Sized Internal Format | Base Type | Components | Norm | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3
GL_R8 | ubyte | 1 | YES | R | 0 | 0 | 1
GL_R16 | ushort | 1 | YES | R | 0 | 0 | 1
GL_R16F | half | 1 | NO | R | 0 | 0 | 1
GL_R32F | float | 1 | NO | R | 0 | 0 | 1
GL_R8I | byte | 1 | NO | R | 0 | 0 | 1
GL_R16I | short | 1 | NO | R | 0 | 0 | 1
GL_R32I | int | 1 | NO | R | 0 | 0 | 1
GL_R8UI | ubyte | 1 | NO | R | 0 | 0 | 1
GL_R16UI | ushort | 1 | NO | R | 0 | 0 | 1
GL_R32UI | uint | 1 | NO | R | 0 | 0 | 1
GL_RG8 | ubyte | 2 | YES | R | G | 0 | 1
GL_RG16 | ushort | 2 | YES | R | G | 0 | 1
GL_RG16F | half | 2 | NO | R | G | 0 | 1
GL_RG32F | float | 2 | NO | R | G | 0 | 1
GL_RG8I | byte | 2 | NO | R | G | 0 | 1
GL_RG16I | short | 2 | NO | R | G | 0 | 1
GL_RG32I | int | 2 | NO | R | G | 0 | 1
GL_RG8UI | ubyte | 2 | NO | R | G | 0 | 1
GL_RG16UI | ushort | 2 | NO | R | G | 0 | 1
GL_RG32UI | uint | 2 | NO | R | G | 0 | 1
GL_RGB32F | float | 3 | NO | R | G | B | 1
GL_RGB32I | int | 3 | NO | R | G | B | 1
GL_RGB32UI | uint | 3 | NO | R | G | B | 1
GL_RGBA8 | uint | 4 | YES | R | G | B | A
GL_RGBA16 | short | 4 | YES | R | G | B | A
GL_RGBA16F | half | 4 | NO | R | G | B | A
GL_RGBA32F | float | 4 | NO | R | G | B | A
GL_RGBA8I | byte | 4 | NO | R | G | B | A
GL_RGBA16I | short | 4 | NO | R | G | B | A
GL_RGBA32I | int | 4 | NO | R | G | B | A
GL_RGBA8UI | ubyte | 4 | NO | R | G | B | A
GL_RGBA16UI | ushort | 4 | NO | R | G | B | A
GL_RGBA32UI | uint | 4 | NO | R | G | B | A

This converted data is then replicated throughout the specified region of the buffer object's data store. If data is NULL, then the subrange of the buffer's data store is filled with zeros.

ERRORS

GL_INVALID_ENUM is generated by glClearBufferSubData if target is not one of the generic buffer binding targets.

GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated by glClearBufferSubData if no buffer is bound to target.

GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated by glClearNamedBufferSubData if buffer is not the name of an existing buffer object.

GL_INVALID_ENUM is generated if internalformat is not one of the valid sized internal formats listed in the table above.

GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated if offset or range are not multiples of the number of basic machine units per-element for the internal format specified by internalformat. This value may be computed by multiplying the number of components for internalformat from the table by the size of the base type from the table.

GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated if offset or size is negative, or if $offset + size$ is greater than the value of GL_BUFFER_SIZE for the buffer object.

GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if any part of the specified range of the buffer object is mapped with glMapBufferRange() or glMapBuffer(), unless it was mapped with the GL_MAP_PERSISTENT_BIT bit set in the glMapBufferRange access flags.

GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated if format is not a valid format, or type is not a valid type.
