 lifetime. Texture usage flags are cumulative and may be combined to create a
 texture that can be used as multiple things.

+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+These flags are used when querying whether a particular pipe_format is
+supported by the driver (with the `is_format_supported` function).
+Some formats may only be supported for certain kinds of textures.
+For example, a compressed format might only be used for POT textures.
+
+* ``PIPE_TEXTURE_GEOM_NON_SQUARE``: The texture may not be square
+* ``PIPE_TEXTURE_GEOM_NON_POWER_OF_TWO``: The texture dimensions may not be
+  powers of two.
