                    Requests the internal storage format of the texture image.  The most
                    current version of the SGI implementation of GLU does not check this
                    value for validity before passing it on to the underlying OpenGL
                    implementation.  A value that is not accepted by the OpenGL
                    implementation will lead to an OpenGL error.  The benefit of not
                    checking this value at the GLU level is that OpenGL extensions can add
                    new internal texture formats without requiring a revision of the GLU
                    implementation.  Older implementations of GLU check this value and
                    raise a GLU error if it is not 1, 2, 3, or 4 or one of the following

        <para>
            <function>gluBuild3DMipmaps</function> builds a series of prefiltered three-dimensional texture maps of
            decreasing resolutions called a mipmap. This is used for the antialiasing of
            texture-mapped primitives.
        </para>
        <para>
            A return value of zero indicates success, otherwise a GLU error code is
            returned (see <citerefentry><refentrytitle>gluErrorString</refentrytitle></citerefentry>).
        </para>
        <para>
            Initially, the <parameter>width</parameter>, <parameter>height</parameter> and <parameter>depth</parameter> of <parameter>data</parameter> are checked to
            see if they are a power of 2. If not, a copy of <parameter>data</parameter> is made and
            scaled up or down to the nearest power of 2. (If <parameter>width</parameter>, <parameter>height</parameter>, or
            <parameter>depth</parameter> is exactly between powers of 2, then the copy of <parameter>data</parameter> will
            scale upwards.) This copy will be used for subsequent mipmapping
            operations described below.  For example, if <parameter>width</parameter> is 57, <parameter>height</parameter> is
            23, and <parameter>depth</parameter> is 24, then a copy of <parameter>data</parameter> will scale up to 64 in
            width, down to 16 in height, and up to 32 in depth before mipmapping
            takes place.
        </para>
        <para>
            Then, proxy textures (see <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glTexImage3D</refentrytitle></citerefentry>) are used to determine if
            the implementation can fit the requested texture. If not, all three dimensions
            are continually halved until it fits. 
        </para>
        <para>
            Next, a series of mipmap levels is built by decimating a copy of <parameter>data</parameter>
            in half along all three dimensions until size

            is
            reached. At each level, each texel in the halved mipmap level is an
            average of the corresponding eight texels in the larger mipmap
            level. (If exactly one of the dimensions is 1, four texels are averaged.
            If exactly two of the dimensions are 1, two texels are averaged.)

        <para>
            <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glTexImage3D</refentrytitle></citerefentry> is called to load each of these mipmap levels.
            Level 0 is a copy of <parameter>data</parameter>.  The highest level is

            Note that there is no direct way of querying the maximum level. This can
            be derived indirectly via <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glGetTexLevelParameter</refentrytitle></citerefentry>. First, query
            the width, height, and depth actually used at level 0.  (The width,
            height, and depth may not be equal to <parameter>width</parameter>, <parameter>height</parameter>, and <parameter>depth</parameter>
            respectively since proxy textures might have scaled them to fit the
            implementation.)  Then the maximum level can be derived from the formula
