(Compute Shader) 1 pixel implicitly adding color to other pixels

I am confused as to why the compute shader is implicitly adding color to untouched pixels of an image2D variable. This holds true if I shade (100+)^2 pixels white, and shade the [0,0] pixel as black; the result is a window where all pixels of the window are grey.

This is an issue because I cannot make any pixel art; they all blend for some reason.
i.e. I am doing pixel blending art, not pixel perfect art; and it’s a mess!

Why is life this way?

CODE

*Compute Shader*
#version 430 core

layout (binding = 0, rgba32f) uniform image2D img;
layout (local_size_x = 1, local_size_y = 1, local_size_z = 1) in;

void main(void) {
	vec4 color;
	if (gl_GlobalInvocationID.xy == ivec2(0,0)){
		color = vec4(0.0,0.0,0.0,1.0);
	}
	else {
		color = vec4(1.0,1.0,1.0,1.0);
	}
	ivec2 pos = ivec2(gl_GlobalInvocationID.xy);
	imageStore(img, pos, color);

}

*Vertex Shader*
#version 430 core

layout (location = 0) in vec3 vPos;
layout (location = 1) in vec2 tPos1;
out vec2 tPos2;

void main(){

    gl_Position = vec4(vPos, 1.0);
    tPos2 = tPos1;
}

*Fragment Shader*
#version 430 core

uniform sampler2D img;
in vec2 tPos2;
out vec4 FragColor;

void main()
{

	FragColor = texture(img, tPos2);
}

}

If I run all code in this current state (including the parts I left out that are correct), it outputs grey, because the [0,0] pixel was set to black, and everything else was set to white.

:slight_smile:

The last parameter should be (void*)(3*sizeof(float)). As it stands, the texture coordinates are offset by 3 bytes rather than 3 floats.
