Description

Currently, they are undocumented and so do not make it into the public API reference:

https://github.com/playcanvas/engine/blob/e98943192f03e0bf84f74d5dde8821411084fabe/src/platform/graphics/constants.js#L530-L532

This is despite PIXELFORMAT_LA8 being referenced here:

https://api.playcanvas.com/engine/classes/XrView.html#texturedepth
https://api.playcanvas.com/engine/classes/XrViews.html#depthpixelformat
