If you want to learn more, giuseppe portelli made a great article about it. The above scheme seems a little cumbersome since each generated mipmap level needs to be read back to the host and then loaded into texture memory before it can be used to create the next level. This copytexture capability has also been added to the core capability of opengl 1. This lod calculation is used to select the mipmap level or pair of mipmap levels to sample from. Although the main texture would still be used when the view is sufficient to render it in full detail, the renderer will switch to a suitable mipmap image or in fact, interpolate between the two nearest, if trilinear filtering is activated when the texture is viewed from. Note that using large negative bias can reduce performance, so its not recommended to use more than 0.

Each bitmap image of the mipmap set is a downsized duplicate of the main texture, but at a certain reduced level of detail. Trilinear filtering solves this problem by also interpolating between the different mipmap levels, so that a total of 8 texels will be used to interpolate the final pixel value, resulting in a smoother image. To have an image integral for each scale of the mipmap s pyramid separately. If you do specify a mipmap filter, you must have specified all the expected miplevels either manually through glteximage2d, or generated as in your example glgeneratemipmap should do that for you opengl defaults to having log2maxheight,width mipmap levels plus the base level with height and width rounded up to a power of two.
