<para>
<function>glBindFramebuffer</function> lets you create or use a named framebuffer object. Calling <function>glBindFramebuffer</function> with
<parameter>target</parameter> set to <constant>GL_FRAMEBUFFER</constant>
and <parameter>framebuffer</parameter> set to the name
of the new framebuffer object binds the framebuffer object name.
When a framebuffer object is bound, the previous binding
is automatically broken.
</para>
<para>
Framebuffer object names are unsigned integers. The value zero is reserved to represent the default framebuffer
provided by the windowing system. Framebuffer object names and the corresponding framebuffer object contents are local to
the shared object space of the current GL rendering context.
</para>
<para>
You may use <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glGenFramebuffers</refentrytitle></citerefentry> to generate a set of new framebuffer object names.
</para>
<para>
The state of a framebuffer object immediately after it is first bound is
three attachment points (<constant>GL_COLOR_ATTACHMENT0</constant>,
<constant>GL_DEPTH_ATTACHMENT</constant>, and
<constant>GL_STENCIL_ATTACHMENT</constant>) each with
<constant>GL_NONE</constant> as the object type.
</para>
<para>
While a non-zero framebuffer object name is bound, GL operations on
target <constant>GL_FRAMEBUFFER</constant> affect the bound framebuffer
object, and queries of target <constant>GL_FRAMEBUFFER</constant> or of
framebuffer details such as <constant>GL_DEPTH_BITS</constant>
return state from the bound framebuffer object. While framebuffer object
name zero is bound, as in the initial state, attempts to modify or query
state on target <constant>GL_FRAMEBUFFER</constant> generates an
<constant>GL_INVALID_OPERATION</constant> error.
</para>
<para>
While a non-zero framebuffer object name is bound, all rendering to the
framebuffer (with <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glDrawArrays</refentrytitle></citerefentry>
and <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glDrawElements</refentrytitle></citerefentry>)
and reading from the framebuffer (with
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>glReadPixels</refentrytitle></citerefentry>,
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>glCopyTexImage2D</refentrytitle></citerefentry>,
or <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glCopyTexSubImage2D</refentrytitle></citerefentry>)
use the images attached to the application-created framebuffer object rather than the default
window-system-provided framebuffer.
</para>
<para>
Application created framebuffer objects (i.e. those with a non-zero name)
differ from the default window-system-provided framebuffer in a few
important ways. First, they have modifiable attachment points for
a color buffer, a depth buffer, and a stencil buffer to which framebuffer
attachable images may be attached and detached. Second, the size and format of the
attached images are controlled entirely within the GL and are not
affected by window-system events, such as pixel format selection,
window resizes, and display mode changes. Third, when rendering to or
reading from an application created framebuffer object, the pixel
ownership test always succeeds (i.e. they own all their pixels). Fourth,
there are no visible color buffer bitplanes, only a single &quot;off-screen&quot;
color image attachment, so there is no sense of front and back buffers
or swapping. Finally, there is no multisample buffer, so the value of
the implementation-dependent state variables
<constant>GL_SAMPLES</constant> and <constant>GL_SAMPLE_BUFFERS</constant>
are both zero for application created framebuffer objects.
</para>
<para>
A framebuffer object binding created with <function>glBindFramebuffer</function> remains active until a different
framebuffer object name is bound, or until the bound framebuffer object is
deleted with <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glDeleteFramebuffers</refentrytitle></citerefentry>.
</para>

<refsect1 id="notes"><title>Notes</title>
<para>
Queries of implementation-dependent pixel depths and related state are
derived from the currently bound framebuffer object. These include
<constant>GL_RED_BITS</constant>, <constant>GL_GREEN_BITS</constant>,
<constant>GL_BLUE_BITS</constant>, <constant>GL_ALPHA_BITS</constant>,
<constant>GL_DEPTH_BITS</constant>, <constant>GL_STENCIL_BITS</constant>,
<constant>GL_IMPLEMENTATION_COLOR_READ_TYPE</constant>,
<constant>GL_IMPLEMENTATION_COLOR_READ_FORMAT</constant>,
<constant>GL_SAMPLES</constant>, and <constant>GL_SAMPLE_BUFFERS</constant>.
