NAME

       write_image - Write color value to location in a 2D image object.

       void write_imagef(image2d_t image, int2 coord, float4 color);

       void write_imagef(image2d_array_t image, int4 coord, float4 color);

       void write_imagei(image2d_t image, int2 coord, int4 color);

       void write_imagei(image2d_array_t image, int4 coord, int4 color);

       void write_imageui(image2d_t image, int2 coord, uint4 color);

       void write_imageui(image2d_array_t image, int4 coord, uint4 color);

       void write_imageh(image2d_t image, int2 coord, half4 color);

       void write_imageh(image2d_array_t image, int4 coord, half4 color);

DESCRIPTION

       write_imagef can only be used with image objects created with image_channel_data_type set
       to one of the pre-defined packed formats or set to CL_SNORM_INT8, CL_UNORM_INT8,
       CL_SNORM_INT16, CL_UNORM_INT16, CL_HALF_FLOAT or CL_FLOAT. Appropriate data format
       conversion will be done to convert channel data from a floating-point value to actual data
       format in which the channels are stored.

       write_imagei can only be used with image objects created with image_channel_data_type set
       to one of the following values: CL_SIGNED_INT8, CL_SIGNED_INT16, and CL_SIGNED_INT32.

       write_imageui functions can only be used with image objects created with
       image_channel_data_type set to one of the following values: CL_UNSIGNED_INT8,
       CL_UNSIGNED_INT16, or CL_UNSIGNED_INT32.

       An application that wants to use half and halfn types will need to include the #pragma
       OPENCL EXTENSION cl_khr_fp16(3clc) : enable directive.

       write_imageh can only be used with image objects created with image_channel_data_type set
       to one of the pre-defined packed formats or set to CL_SNORM_INT8, CL_UNORM_INT8,
       CL_SNORM_INT16, CL_UNORM_INT16 or CL_HALF_FLOAT.  Functions that take image2d_t.PP For the
       functions that take an image_2d_t image, write color value to location specified by
       coord.xy in the 2D image object specified by image. Appropriate data format conversion to
       the specified image format is done before writing the color value.  coord.x and coord.y
       are considered to be unnormalized coordinates and must be in the range 0 ... image width -
       1, and 0 ... image height - 1.

       For functions that take image_2d_t, the behavior of write_imagef, write_imagei,
       write_imageui, and write_imageh for image objects created with image_channel_data_type
       values not specified in the description above or with (x, y) coordinate values that are
       not in the range (0 ... image width - 1, 0 ... image height - 1), respectively, is
       undefined.  Functions that take image2d_array_t.PP For the functions that take an
       image_2d_array_t image, write color value to location specified by coord.xy in the 2D
       image identified by coord.z in the 2D image array specified by image. Appropriate data
       format conversion to the specified image format is done before writing the color value.
       coord.x, coord.y and coord.z are considered to be unnormalized coordinates and must be in
       the range 0 ... image width - 1, 0 ... image height - 1 and 0 ... image number of layers -
       1.

       For functions that take image_2d_array_t, the behavior of write_imagef, write_imagei,
       write_imageui, and write_imageh for image objects created with image_channel_data_type
       values not specified in the description above or with (x, y, z) coordinate values that are
       not in the range (0 ... image width - 1, 0 ... image height - 1), respectively, is
       undefined.

NOTES

       The built-in functions defined in this section can only be used with image memory objects.
       An image memory object can be accessed by specific function calls that read from and/or
       write to specific locations in the image.

       Image memory objects that are being read by a kernel should be declared with the
       accessQualifiers(3clc) qualifier.  write_image calls to image memory objects declared with
       the accessQualifiers(3clc) qualifier will generate a compilation error. Image memory
       objects that are being written to by a kernel should be declared with the
       accessQualifiers(3clc) qualifier.  read_image calls to image memory objects declared with
       the accessQualifiers(3clc) qualifier will generate a compilation error.  read_image and
       write_image calls to the same image memory object in a kernel are not supported.

       The read_image calls returns a four component floating-point, integer or unsigned integer
       color value. The color values returned by read_image are identified as x, y, z, w where x
       refers to the red component, y refers to the green component, z refers to the blue
       component and w refers to the alpha component.
