Image Functions
Variables using one of the image basic types may be used by the built-in shader image memory functions defined in this section to read and write individual texels of a texture. Each image variable references an image unit, which has a texture image attached.
When the image functions access memory, an individual texel in the image is identified using an (i), (i, j), or (i, j, k) coordinate corresponding to the values of P. For image2DMS and image2DMSArray variables (and the corresponding signed- and unsigned-int types) corresponding to multisample textures, each texel may have multiple samples and an individual sample is identified using the integer sample argument.
Loads and stores support float, integer, and unsigned integer ...
