Built-in functions
==================

Godot supports a large number of built-in functions, conforming roughly to the
GLSL ES 3.0 specification.

.. note::
    The following type aliases only used in documentation to reduce repetitive function declarations.
    They can each refer to any of several actual types.

    If any of these are specified for multiple parameters, they must all be the same type unless otherwise noted.

.. _shading_componentwise:

.. note::
    Many functions that accept one or more vectors or matrices perform the described function on each component of the vector/matrix.
    Some examples:

    The `GLSL Language Specification <http://www.opengl.org/registry/doc/GLSLangSpec.4.30.6.pdf>`_ says under section 5.10 Vector and Matrix Operations:

        With a few exceptions, operations are component-wise. Usually, when an operator operates on a
        vector or matrix, it is operating independently on each component of the vector or matrix,
        in a component-wise fashion. [...] The exceptions are matrix multiplied by vector,
        vector multiplied by matrix, and matrix multiplied by matrix. These do not operate component-wise,
        but rather perform the correct linear algebraic multiply.

    |componentwise|

    Performs, where possible, a fused multiply-add operation, returning ``a * b + c``. In use cases where the
    return value is eventually consumed by a variable declared as precise:

     - ``fma()`` is considered a single operation, whereas the expression ``a * b + c`` consumed by a variable declared as precise is considered two operations.

     - The precision of ``fma()`` can differ from the precision of the expression ``a * b + c``.

     - ``fma()`` will be computed with the same precision as any other ``fma()`` consumed by a precise variable,
       giving invariant results for the same input values of a, b and c.

    Otherwise, in the absence of precise consumption, there are no special constraints on the number of operations
    or difference in precision between ``fma()`` and the expression ``a * b + c``.

    :param a:
        The first value to be multiplied.

    :param b:

    Retrieves the dimensions of a level of a texture.

    Returns the dimensions of level ``lod`` (if present) of the texture bound to sampler.

    The components in the return value are filled in, in order, with the width, height and depth
    of the texture. For the array forms, the last component of the return value is
    the number of layers in the texture array.

    :param s:
        The sampler to which the texture whose dimensions to retrieve is bound.

    :param lod:
        The level of the texture for which to retrieve the dimensions.

    :return:
        The dimensions of level ``lod`` (if present) of the texture bound to sampler.

    The mipmap array(s) that would be accessed is returned in the x component of
    the return value. The computed level-of-detail relative to the base level is
    returned in the y component of the return value.

    If called on an incomplete texture, the result of the operation is undefined.

    Retrieves texels from a texture.

    Samples texels from the texture bound to ``s`` at texture coordinate ``p``. An optional bias, specified in ``bias`` is
    included in the level-of-detail computation that is used to choose mipmap(s) from which to sample.

    For shadow forms, the last component of ``p`` is used as Dsub and the array layer is specified in the second to last
    component of ``p``. (The second component of ``p`` is unused for 1D shadow lookups.)

    For non-shadow variants, the array layer comes from the last component of P.

    :param s:
        The sampler to which the texture from which texels will be retrieved is bound.

    :param p:
        The texture coordinates at which texture will be sampled.

    :param bias:

    quantities and packs them into a single 32-bit integer.

    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.
