GLHINT(3G)																GLHINT(3G)

NAME

       glHint - specify implementation-specific hints

C SPECIFICATION

       void glHint( GLenum target,
		    GLenum mode )

PARAMETERS

       target  Specifies    a	 symbolic   constant   indicating   the   behavior   to   be   controlled.    GL_FOG_HINT,    GL_LINE_SMOOTH_HINT,
	       GL_PERSPECTIVE_CORRECTION_HINT, GL_POINT_SMOOTH_HINT, and GL_POLYGON_SMOOTH_HINT are accepted.

       mode    Specifies a symbolic constant indicating the desired behavior.  GL_FASTEST, GL_NICEST, and GL_DONT_CARE are accepted.

DESCRIPTION

       Certain aspects of GL behavior, when there is room for interpretation, can be controlled with hints.  A hint is specified  with	two  argu-
       ments.	target	is  a  symbolic  constant  indicating  the behavior to be controlled, and mode is another symbolic constant indicating the
       desired behavior. The initial value for each target is GL_DONT_CARE.  mode can be one of the following:

       GL_FASTEST	   The most efficient option should be chosen.

       GL_NICEST	   The most correct, or highest quality, option should be chosen.

       GL_DONT_CARE	   No preference.

       Though the implementation aspects that can be hinted are well defined, the interpretation of the hints depends on the implementation.   The
       hint aspects that can be specified with target, along with suggested semantics, are as follows:

       GL_FOG_HINT	   Indicates  the accuracy of fog calculation.	If per-pixel fog calculation is not efficiently supported by the GL imple-
			   mentation, hinting GL_DONT_CARE or GL_FASTEST can result in per-vertex calculation of fog effects.

       GL_LINE_SMOOTH_HINT Indicates the sampling quality of antialiased lines.  If a larger filter function is  applied,  hinting  GL_NICEST  can
			   result in more pixel fragments being generated during rasterization,

       GL_PERSPECTIVE_CORRECTION_HINT
			   Indicates  the quality of color and texture coordinate interpolation.  If perspective-corrected parameter interpolation
			   is not efficiently supported by the GL implementation, hinting GL_DONT_CARE or GL_FASTEST can result in  simple  linear
			   interpolation of colors and/or texture coordinates.

       GL_POINT_SMOOTH_HINT
			   Indicates  the  sampling  quality of antialiased points.  If a larger filter function is applied, hinting GL_NICEST can
			   result in more pixel fragments being generated during rasterization,

       GL_POLYGON_SMOOTH_HINT
			   Indicates the sampling quality of antialiased polygons.  Hinting GL_NICEST can result in  more  pixel  fragments  being
			   generated during rasterization, if a larger filter function is applied.

NOTES

       The interpretation of hints depends on the implementation.  Some implementations ignore glHint settings.

ERRORS

       GL_INVALID_ENUM is generated if either target or mode is not an accepted value.

       GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if glHint is executed between the execution of glBegin and the corresponding execution of glEnd.

GLGETTEXENV(3G) 														   GLGETTEXENV(3G)

NAME

       glGetTexEnvfv, glGetTexEnviv - return texture environment parameters

C SPECIFICATION

       void glGetTexEnvfv( GLenum target,
			   GLenum pname,
			   GLfloat *params )
       void glGetTexEnviv( GLenum target,
			   GLenum pname,
			   GLint *params )

PARAMETERS

       target  Specifies a texture environment.  Must be GL_TEXTURE_ENV.

       pname   Specifies the symbolic name of a texture environment parameter.	Accepted values are GL_TEXTURE_ENV_MODE and GL_TEXTURE_ENV_COLOR.

       params  Returns the requested data.

DESCRIPTION

       glGetTexEnv  returns in params selected values of a texture environment that was specified with glTexEnv.  target specifies a texture envi-
       ronment.  Currently, only one texture environment is defined and supported: GL_TEXTURE_ENV.

       pname names a specific texture environment parameter, as follows:

       GL_TEXTURE_ENV_MODE
		 params returns the single-valued texture environment mode, a symbolic constant. The initial value is GL_MODULATE.

       GL_TEXTURE_ENV_COLOR
		 params returns four integer or floating-point values that are the texture environment color.  Integer values, when requested, are
		 linearly  mapped  from  the internal floating-point representation such that 1.0 maps to the most positive representable integer,
		 and -1.0 maps to the most negative representable integer. The initial value is (0, 0, 0, 0).

NOTES

       If an error is generated, no change is made to the contents of params.

       When the GL_ARB_multitexture extension is supported, glGetTexEnv returns the texture environment parameters for the active texture unit.

ERRORS

       GL_INVALID_ENUM is generated if target or pname is not an accepted value.

       GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if glGetTexEnv is executed between the execution of glBegin and the corresponding execution of glEnd.
