GLSL sampler2DRect and single channel (GL_RED) data

I have pixel map data 1 channel, 8 bit. I have pixel map width and height.

I'm trying to submit pixmap data to fragment shader. I'm using ogl3 with VAO and VBO.

My setup:

glGenTextures(1, &texture);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_RECTANGLE, texture);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_RECTANGLE, GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_S, GL_CLAMP_TO_EDGE);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_RECTANGLE, GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_T, GL_CLAMP_TO_EDGE);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_RECTANGLE, GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER, GL_NEAREST);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_RECTANGLE, GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER, GL_NEAREST);
glPixelStorei(GL_UNPACK_ALIGNMENT, 1);
glTexImage2D(GL_TEXTURE_RECTANGLE, 0, GL_RED, width, height, 0, GL_RED, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, data);
glGenVertexArrays(1, &vao);
glBindVertexArray(vao);
glGenBuffers(1, &vbo);
glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, vbo);
glBufferData(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, ..., vertices, GL_STATIC_DRAW);
...create program...
glUseProgram(program);
glUniform1i(glGetUniformLocation(program, "image"), 0);
glDrawArrays(GL_TRIANGLE_FAN, 0, ...);

And fragment shader:

uniform sampler2DRect image;

varying vec2 varying_texcoord;

void main() {
    vec4 sample = texture2DRect(image, varying_texcoord);
    gl_FragColor = vec4(1.0, 0.0, 0.0, sample.a);
}

gl_FragColor should paint pixels light and dark red depending of sample.a value, however it seems that sample.a is always 1.0 - I'm getting pure red #ff0000. I think the problem is in glTexImage2D, isn't it?

Please assume program and data are valid.

The question is very old but the answer could help others.

You need to use true pixel coordinates if you use sampler2DRect. I assume you copy the incoming texture coordinates in the vertex shader to your varying_texcoord.

If you do so, you need to compute the coordinates: 

vec2 coords = varying_texcoord * imageSize(image);

Then pass the coordinates:

vec4 sample= texture(image, coords);

I believe the answer you are looking for is in the documentation for glTexImage2D. It says

"GL_RED: Each element is a single red component.The GL converts it to floating point and assembles it into an RGBA elementby attaching 0 for green and blue, and 1 for alpha. Each component is then multiplied by the signed scale factor GL_c_SCALE, added to the signed bias GL_c_BIAS, and clamped to the range [0,1]."

You're asking for the .a component, which is always 1. You need to use the component the texture actually contains data in - which is .r

Hope this helps!
