## Detailed Description

Provides GLSL functions to pack and unpack half, single and double-precision floating point values into more compact integer types.

These functions do not operate component-wise, rather as described in each case.

Include <glm/packing.hpp> to use these core features.

## Function Documentation

## packDouble2x32()

GLM_FUNC_DECL double glm::packDouble2x32 | ( | uvec2 const & | v | ) |

Returns a double-qualifier value obtained by packing the components of v into a 64-bit value.

If an IEEE 754 Inf or NaN is created, it will not signal, and the resulting floating point value is unspecified. Otherwise, the bit- level representation of v is preserved. The first vector component specifies the 32 least significant bits; the second component specifies the 32 most significant bits.

## packHalf2x16()

GLM_FUNC_DECL uint glm::packHalf2x16 | ( | vec2 const & | v | ) |

Returns an unsigned integer obtained by converting the components of a two-component floating-point vector to the 16-bit floating-point representation found in the OpenGL Specification, and then packing these two 16- bit integers into a 32-bit unsigned integer.

The first vector component specifies the 16 least-significant bits of the result; the second component specifies the 16 most-significant bits.

## packSnorm2x16()

GLM_FUNC_DECL uint glm::packSnorm2x16 | ( | vec2 const & | v | ) |

First, converts each component of the normalized floating-point value v into 8- or 16-bit integer values.

Then, the results are packed into the returned 32-bit unsigned integer.

The conversion for component c of v to fixed point is done as follows: packSnorm2x16: round(clamp(v, -1, +1) * 32767.0)

The first component of the vector will be written to the least significant bits of the output; the last component will be written to the most significant bits.

GLM_FUNC_DECL uint glm::packSnorm4x8 | ( | vec4 const & | v | ) |

First, converts each component of the normalized floating-point value v into 8- or 16-bit integer values.

Then, the results are packed into the returned 32-bit unsigned integer.

The conversion for component c of v to fixed point is done as follows: packSnorm4x8: round(clamp(c, -1, +1) * 127.0)

The first component of the vector will be written to the least significant bits of the output; the last component will be written to the most significant bits.

GLM_FUNC_DECL uint glm::packUnorm4x8 | ( | vec4 const & | v | ) |

First, converts each component of the normalized floating-point value v into 8- or 16-bit integer values.

GLM_FUNC_DECL vec2 glm::unpackHalf2x16 | ( | uint | v | ) |

Returns a two-component floating-point vector with components obtained by unpacking a 32-bit unsigned integer into a pair of 16-bit values, interpreting those values as 16-bit floating-point numbers according to the OpenGL Specification, and converting them to 32-bit floating-point values.

The first component of the vector is obtained from the 16 least-significant bits of v; the second component is obtained from the 16 most-significant bits of v.
