### CoglFuncPtr ()

    void                (*CoglFuncPtr)                      (void);

The type used by cogl for function pointers, note that this type is used as a generic catch-all cast for function pointers and the actual arguments and return type may be different.

    typedef enum { /*< prefix=COGL_PIXEL_FORMAT >*/
      COGL_PIXEL_FORMAT_ANY           = 0,

      COGL_PIXEL_FORMAT_ABGR_8888     = (COGL_PIXEL_FORMAT_32 | COGL_A_BIT | COGL_BGR_BIT | COGL_AFIRST_BIT),

      COGL_PIXEL_FORMAT_RGBA_8888_PRE = (COGL_PIXEL_FORMAT_32 | COGL_A_BIT | COGL_PREMULT_BIT),
      COGL_PIXEL_FORMAT_BGRA_8888_PRE = (COGL_PIXEL_FORMAT_32 | COGL_A_BIT | COGL_PREMULT_BIT | COGL_BGR_BIT),
      COGL_PIXEL_FORMAT_ARGB_8888_PRE = (COGL_PIXEL_FORMAT_32 | COGL_A_BIT | COGL_PREMULT_BIT | COGL_AFIRST_BIT),

      COGL_PIXEL_FORMAT_RGBA_5551_PRE = (COGL_PIXEL_FORMAT_RGBA_5551 | COGL_A_BIT | COGL_PREMULT_BIT)
    } CoglPixelFormat;

Pixel formats used by COGL. For the formats with a byte per component, the order of the components specify the order in increasing memory addresses. So for example `COGL_PIXEL_FORMAT_RGB_888` would have the red component in the lowest address, green in the next address and blue after that regardless of the endinanness of the system.

For the 16-bit formats the component order specifies the order within a 16-bit number from most significant bit to least significant. So for `COGL_PIXEL_FORMAT_RGB_565`, the red component would be in bits 11-15, the green component would be in 6-11 and the blue component would be in 1-5. Therefore the order in memory depends on the endianness of the system.

When uploading a texture `COGL_PIXEL_FORMAT_ANY` can be used as the internal format. Cogl will try to pick the best format to use internally and convert the texture data if necessary.

`COGL_PIXEL_FORMAT_ANY` | Any format
`COGL_PIXEL_FORMAT_A_8` | 8 bits alpha mask
`COGL_PIXEL_FORMAT_RGB_565` | RGB, 16 bits
`COGL_PIXEL_FORMAT_RGBA_4444` | RGBA, 16 bits
`COGL_PIXEL_FORMAT_RGBA_5551` | RGBA, 16 bits
`COGL_PIXEL_FORMAT_YUV` | Not currently supported
`COGL_PIXEL_FORMAT_G_8` | Single luminance component
`COGL_PIXEL_FORMAT_RGB_888` | RGB, 24 bits
`COGL_PIXEL_FORMAT_BGR_888` | BGR, 24 bits
`COGL_PIXEL_FORMAT_RGBA_8888` | RGBA, 32 bits
`COGL_PIXEL_FORMAT_BGRA_8888` | BGRA, 32 bits
`COGL_PIXEL_FORMAT_ARGB_8888` | ARGB, 32 bits
`COGL_PIXEL_FORMAT_ABGR_8888` | ABGR, 32 bits
