Vector Pack Pixel

vec_packpx(arg1, arg2)

The result is obtained from the concatenated 32 bytes of arg1 and arg2, by creating the packed pixels of each word and moving them, left to right, into the halfwords of the result.
A packed pixel is a 1/5/5/5-encoded aRGB halfword. It is formed from a word by taking the LSB of the high-order byte for the 1-bit alpha field and the 5 LSBs of each of the 3 remaining bytes to get the R, G and B fields.
See "PackAndUnpackPixel" in Programming Examples for a demonstration of the use of this instruction.
