NAME

       glPolygonStipple - set the polygon stippling pattern

C SPECIFICATION

       void glPolygonStipple( const GLubyte *mask )

PARAMETERS

       mask  Specifies a pointer to a 32x32 stipple pattern that will be unpacked from memory in the same way that glDrawPixels unpacks pixels.

DESCRIPTION

       Polygon	stippling,  like  line	stippling  (see glLineStipple), masks out certain fragments produced by rasterization, creating a pattern.
       Stippling is independent of polygon antialiasing.

       mask is a pointer to a 32x32 stipple pattern that is stored in memory just like the pixel data supplied to a glDrawPixels call with  height
       and  width both equal to 32, a pixel of GL_COLOR_INDEX, and data type of GL_BITMAP.  That is, the stipple pattern is represented as a 32x32
       array of 1-bit color indices packed in unsigned bytes.  glPixelStore parameters like GL_UNPACK_SWAP_BYTES  and  GL_UNPACK_LSB_FIRST  affect
       the  assembling	of  the  bits into a stipple pattern.  Pixel transfer operations (shift, offset, pixel map) are not applied to the stipple
       image, however.

       To enable and disable polygon stippling, call glEnable and glDisable with argument GL_POLYGON_STIPPLE. Polygon stippling is initially  dis-
       abled.  If it's enabled, a rasterized polygon fragment with window coordinates xw and yw is sent to the next stage of the GL if and only if
       the (xw mod 32)th bit in the (yw mod 32)th row of the stipple pattern is 1 (one).  When polygon stippling is disabled,  it  is  as  if  the
       stipple pattern consists of all 1's.

ERRORS

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