Method

CoglTextureallocate

Declaration [src]

gboolean
cogl_texture_allocate (
  CoglTexture* texture
  GError** error
)

Description [src]

Explicitly allocates the storage for the given texture which allows you to be sure that there is enough memory for the texture and if not then the error can be handled gracefully.

Normally applications don’t need to use this api directly since the texture will be implicitly allocated when data is set on the texture, or if the texture is attached to a CoglOffscreen framebuffer and rendered too.

Return value

Returns:	`gboolean`
	`TRUE` if the texture was successfully allocated, otherwise `FALSE` and `error` will be updated if it wasn’t `NULL`.
