.SH PARAMETERS
_phead(_param1)
Specifies the target texture.  Must be _const(TEXTURE_3D).
_phead(_param2)
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
symbolic constants:
_const(ALPHA),
_const(ALPHA4),
_const(ALPHA8),
_const(ALPHA12),
_const(ALPHA16),

_phead(_param3 _param4 _param5)
Specifies in pixels the width, height and depth respectively, in pixels
of the texture image.

Specifies the format of the pixel data.
Must be one of
_const(COLOR_INDEX),
_const(DEPTH_COMPONENT),

_const(ALPHA),
_const(RGB),
_const(RGBA),

.SH DESCRIPTION
_cmnd 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.
.P
A return value of zero indicates success, otherwise a GLU error code is
returned (see _cmnd(ErrorString)).
.P
Initially, the _param3, _param4 and _param5 of _param8 are checked to
see if they are a power of 2. If not, a copy of _param8 (not _param8),
is scaled up or down to the nearest power of 2. (If _param3, _param4 or
_param5 is exactly between powers of 2, then the copy of _param8 will
scale upwards.) This copy will be used for subsequent mipmapping
operations described below.  For example, if _param3 is 57, _param4 is
23 and _param5 is 24 then a copy of _param8 will scale up to 64 in
width, down to 16 in height and up to 32 in depth, before mipmapping
takes place.
.P
Then, proxy textures (see _glcmnd(TexImage3D)) are used to determine if
the implementation can fit the requested texture. If not, all three dimensions
are continually halved until it fits. 
.P
Next, a series of mipmap levels is built by decimating a copy of _param8
in half along all three dimensions until size $1 ~times~ 1 ~times~ 1$ 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.)
.P
_glcmnd(TexImage3D) is called to load each of these mipmap levels.
Level 0 is a copy of _param8.  The highest level is
${log sub 2} ( max (_eqnparam3,_eqnparam4,_eqnparam5))$.
For example, if _param3 is 64, _param4 is
16 and _param5 is 32, and the implementation can store a texture of this
size, the following mipmap levels are built: $64 ~times~ 16 ~times~ 32$,
$32 ~times~ 8 ~times~ 16$, $16 ~times~ 4 ~times~ 8$,
$8 ~times~ 2 ~times~ 4$, $4 ~times~ 1 ~times~ 2$,
$2 ~times~ 1 ~times~ 1$
and $1 ~times~ 1 ~times~ 1$. These correspond
to levels 0 through 6, respectively.
.P
See the _glcmnd(TexImage1D) reference page for a description of the
acceptable values for _param6 parameter. See the _glcmnd(DrawPixels) 
reference page for a description of the acceptable values 
for _param7 parameter.
.SH NOTES
Note that there is no direct way of querying the maximum level. This can
be derived indirectly via _glcmnd(GetTexLevelParameter). First, query
for the width, height and depth actually used at level 0.  (The width,
height and depth may not be equal to _param3, _param4 and _param5
respectively since proxy textures might have scaled them to fit the
implementation.)  Then the maximum level can be derived from the formula
${log sub 2} ( max (_eqnparam3,_eqnparam4,_eqnparam5))$.
.P
_cmnd is only available if the GLU version is 1.3 or greater.
