istexloaded(3G)                                                istexloaded(3G)



NAME
     istexloaded - returns whether the texture with the passed id is resident
     in texture memory

C SPECIFICATION
     long istexloaded(long target, long id)

PARAMETERS
     target   expects the texture resource to which the texture function
              definition is to be bound.  There is one appropriate resource,
              TXTEXTURE0.

     id       expects the id of the texture that is being queried.

FUNCTION RETURN VALUE
     The returned value for this function is either 0 or 1.

     0   indicates that the texture is not resident in texture memory.

     1   indicates that the texture is resident in texture memory.

DESCRIPTION
     istexloaded returns a value that indicates whether a texture is loaded
     into texture memory. If it is not, then the next texbind for that texture
     will require a load which is generally fairly expensive. If it is then
     the texbind will not require a load, and the texbind will be relatively
     inexpensive.
