glFramebufferTexture2Dtarget

The `glFramebufferTexture2D` function in OpenGL is used to attach a texture object to a framebuffer object. The `target` parameter specifies which attachment point of the framebuffer the texture will be attached to. Common targets include `GL_COLOR_ATTACHMENT0`, `GL_DEPTH_ATTACHMENT`, and `GL_STENCIL_ATTACHMENT`. For rendering to a 2D texture, the `target` will typically be one of the color attachment points.

The function signature is `void glFramebufferTexture2D(GLenum target, GLenum attachment, GLenum textarget, GLuint texture, GLint level);`. The `target` parameter here refers to the framebuffer itself, not the texture. For example, when rendering to a texture, you would pass `GL_FRAMEBUFFER` as the `target` for `glFramebufferTexture2D`.

When using `glFramebufferTexture2D` to attach a texture for rendering, the `target` parameter specifically indicates which image unit of the framebuffer is being modified. For example, `GL_COLOR_ATTACHMENT0` is used to specify the first color buffer to which rendering will occur. If you are rendering to multiple color buffers, you would use `GL_COLOR_ATTACHMENT1`, `GL_COLOR_ATTACHMENT2`, and so on, up to the maximum number of color attachments supported by the OpenGL implementation.

It is crucial to ensure that the `target` parameter is a valid framebuffer attachment point. Attempting to use an invalid target will result in an `GL_INVALID_ENUM` error. The `textarget` parameter, on the other hand, specifies the texture target of the texture object being attached. For a standard 2D texture, this would be `GL_TEXTURE_2D`. The `texture` parameter is the handle to the texture object, and `level` specifies the mipmap level to attach.
