## HTMLImageElement and ImageData support in copyExternalImageToTexture()
The [`copyExternalImageToTexture()`](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/GPUQueue/copyExternalImageToTexture) method on `GPUQueue` allows you to copy a snapshot taken from a source image, video, or canvas into a given `GPUTexture`. You can now pass [`HTMLImageElement`](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/HTMLImageElement) and [`ImageData`](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/ImageData) objects as the source. See the following example and [issue chromium:1471372](https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1471372).
```javascript
// Fetch and decode image.
const source = document.createElement("img");
source.src = "my-image.png";
await source.decode();
// Create destination texture.
const size = [source.width, source.height];
const texture = myDevice.createTexture({
size,
format: "rgba8unorm",
usage:
GPUTextureUsage.COPY_DST |
GPUTextureUsage.RENDER_ATTACHMENT |
GPUTextureUsage.TEXTURE_BINDING,
});
// Copies a snapshot taken from the source image into a texture.
myDevice.queue.copyExternalImageToTexture({ source }, { texture }, size);
```
## Experimental support for read-write and read-only storage texture
The storage texture binding type allows you to perform texture reads without sampling and store to arbitrary positions in shaders. When the `"chromium-experimental-read-write-storage-texture"` feature is available in a `GPUAdapter`, you can now request a `GPUDevice` with this feature and set `GPUStorageTexture` access to either `"read-write"` or `"read-only"` when creating a bind group layout. Previously this was restricted to `"write-only"`.
To take advantage of this, you must explicitly enable this extension in your WGSL code with `enable chromium_experimental_read_write_storage_texture`. When enabled, you can use `read_write` and `read` access qualifier for storage textures, the `textureLoad()` and `textureStore()` built-in functions behave accordingly, and a new `textureBarrier()` built-in function is available to synchronize texture memory accesses in a workgroup. See the following example and [issue dawn:1972](https://bugs.chromium.org/p/dawn/issues/detail?id=1972).
This feature is still experimental and may change. While it's [getting standardized](https://github.com/gpuweb/gpuweb/issues/3838), run chrome with the `--enable-dawn-features=allow_unsafe_apis` [flag](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/web-platform/chrome-flags.md.txt) to make it available.
```javascript
const feature = "chromium-experimental-read-write-storage-texture";
const adapter = await navigator.gpu.requestAdapter();
if (!adapter.features.has(feature)) {
throw new Error("Read-write storage texture support is not available");
}
// Explicitly request read-write storage texture support.
const device = await adapter.requestDevice({
requiredFeatures: [feature],
});
const bindGroupLayout = device.createBindGroupLayout({
entries: [{
binding: 0,
visibility: GPUShaderStage.COMPUTE,
storageTexture: {
access: "read-write", // <-- New!
format: "r32uint",
},
}],
});
const shaderModule = device.createShaderModule({ code: `
enable chromium_experimental_read_write_storage_texture;
@group(0) @binding(0) var tex : texture_storage_2d;
@compute @workgroup_size(1, 1)
fn main(@builtin(local_invocation_id) local_id: vec3u) {
var data = textureLoad(tex, vec2i(local_id.xy));
data.x *= 2;
textureStore(tex, vec2i(local_id.xy), data);
}`,
});
// You can now create a compute pipeline with this shader module and
// send the appropriate commands to the GPU.
```
## Dawn updates
The [webgpu.h](https://github.com/webgpu-native/webgpu-headers/blob/main/webgpu.h) C API has renamed the following fields for consistency: `requiredFeaturesCount` to `requiredFeatureCount`, `pipelineStatisticsCount` to `pipelineStatisticCount`, and `colorFormatsCount` to `colorFormatCount`. See [issue dawn:146040](https://dawn-review.googlesource.com/c/dawn/+/146040).
A new `DawnInfo` program (similar to [vulkaninfo](https://vulkan.lunarg.com/doc/view/latest/windows/vulkaninfo.html)) allows you to list toggles, adapters, adapter features and adapter limits. It is available when building dawn `samples`. Here's the output below heavily trimmed for brevity. See [change dawn:149020](https://dawn-review.googlesource.com/c/dawn/+/149020).
