## Description

`glCopyConvolutionFilter1D` defines a one-dimensional convolution filter kernel with pixels from the current `GL_READ_BUFFER` (rather than from main memory, as is the case for glConvolutionFilter1D).

The screen-aligned pixel rectangle with lower-left corner at (x,\ y), width width and height 1 is used to define the convolution filter. If any pixels within this region are outside the window that is associated with the GL context, the values obtained for those pixels are undefined.

The pixels in the rectangle are processed exactly as if glReadPixels had been called with format set to RGBA, but the process stops just before final conversion. The R, G, B, and A components of each pixel are next scaled by the four 1D `GL_CONVOLUTION_FILTER_SCALE` parameters and biased by the four 1D `GL_CONVOLUTION_FILTER_BIAS` parameters. (The scale and bias parameters are set by glConvolutionParameter using the `GL_CONVOLUTION_1D` target and the names `GL_CONVOLUTION_FILTER_SCALE` and `GL_CONVOLUTION_FILTER_BIAS`. The parameters themselves are vectors of four values that are applied to red, green, blue, and alpha, in that order.) The R, G, B, and A values are not clamped to [0,1] at any time during this process.

Each pixel is then converted to the internal format specified by internalformat. This conversion simply maps the component values of the pixel (R, G, B, and A) to the values included in the internal format (red, green, blue, alpha, luminance, and intensity). The mapping is as follows:

Internal Format | Red | Green | Blue | Alpha | Luminance | Intensity
--- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | ---
`GL_ALPHA` |  |  |  | A |  |
`GL_LUMINANCE` |  |  |  |  | R |
`GL_LUMINANCE_ALPHA` |  |  |  | A | R |
`GL_INTENSITY` |  |  |  |  |  | R
`GL_RGB` | R | G | B |  |  |
`GL_RGBA` | R | G | B | A |  |

The red, green, blue, alpha, luminance, and/or intensity components of the resulting pixels are stored in floating-point rather than integer format.

Pixel ordering is such that lower x screen coordinates correspond to lower i filter image coordinates.

Note that after a convolution is performed, the resulting color components are also scaled by their corresponding `GL_POST_CONVOLUTION_c_SCALE` parameters and biased by their corresponding `GL_POST_CONVOLUTION_c_BIAS` parameters (where c takes on the values RED, GREEN, BLUE, and ALPHA). These parameters are set by glPixelTransfer.

## Notes

`glCopyConvolutionFilter1D` is present only if `ARB_imaging` is returned when glGetString is called with an argument of `GL_EXTENSIONS`.

## Errors

`GL_INVALID_ENUM` is generated if target is not `GL_CONVOLUTION_1D`.

`GL_INVALID_ENUM` is generated if internalformat is not one of the allowable values.

`GL_INVALID_VALUE` is generated if width is less than zero or greater than the maximum supported value. This value may be queried with glGetConvolutionParameter using target `GL_CONVOLUTION_1D` and name `GL_MAX_CONVOLUTION_WIDTH`.

`GL_INVALID_OPERATION` is generated if `glCopyConvolutionFilter1D` is executed between the execution of glBegin and the corresponding execution of glEnd.
