Reading openGL pixels as a texture

The test image, as a texture, scaled to a 512x512 frame.

void LoadOneGLTextureX(int texture_number)
{ 
int width=256;int height=256;
unsigned char *pixels =malloc((width*height*4));
glReadPixels( 128,64,width,height,GL_RGBA,GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE,(GLvoid *)pixels);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D,texture[texture_number]);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D,GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER,GL_LINEAR);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D,GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER,GL_LINEAR);
//             texture           TO      x      y           FROM           AS         FROM WHERE
glTexImage2D(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, GL_RGBA, width, height, 0, GL_RGBA, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, pixels);
free(pixels);
};

It should be obvious that the parameter 128X64 is the index into the image , where 0,0 is the lower left hand corner. It is redisplayed as a texture expanded to the window size and as such, this does work as a means to generate a video sequence from each frame of an openGL generated source.

The new captured area used as a texture. I was using RMS as a texture, but that got old pretty quick and it is either Lenna or the "Stanford bunny" and that would get old pretty quick too.
