GL_EXT_EGL_image_storage

GL_EXT_EGL_image_storage is an OpenGL extension that allows an OpenGL texture to be created using an EGLImage as its data source. EGLImage is a way for two graphics APIs, OpenGL and EGL, to share image data in a device-independent way. This extension enables the creation of textures from EGLImages that have been previously created by EGL or by another EGL client.

The benefits of using EGLImage as a data source for OpenGL textures include reduced memory usage, improved performance, and better interoperability between graphics APIs. Additionally, the extension provides a way to synchronize access to shared image data between OpenGL and other client APIs.

To use this extension, the EGL_KHR_image_base and EGL_KHR_gl_texture_2D_image extensions must be supported. The extension is supported on various platforms, including Android, Linux, and Windows.
