DESCRIPTION
glUniform modifies the value of a uniform variable or a uniform variable array. The
location of the uniform variable to be modified is specified by location, which should be
a value returned by glGetUniformLocation(). glUniform operates on the program object that
was made part of current state by calling glUseProgram().
The commands glUniform{1|2|3|4}{f|i|ui} are used to change the value of the uniform
variable specified by location using the values passed as arguments. The number specified
in the command should match the number of components in the data type of the specified
uniform variable (e.g., 1 for float, int, unsigned int, bool; 2 for vec2, ivec2, uvec2,
bvec2, etc.). The suffix f indicates that floating-point values are being passed; the
suffix i indicates that integer values are being passed; the suffix ui indicates that
unsigned integer values are being passed, and this type should also match the data type of
the specified uniform variable. The i variants of this function should be used to provide
values for uniform variables defined as int, ivec2, ivec3, ivec4, or arrays of these. The
ui variants of this function should be used to provide values for uniform variables
defined as unsigned int, uvec2, uvec3, uvec4, or arrays of these. The f variants should be
used to provide values for uniform variables of type float, vec2, vec3, vec4, or arrays of
these. Either the i, ui or f variants may be used to provide values for uniform variables
of type bool, bvec2, bvec3, bvec4, or arrays of these. The uniform variable will be set to
false if the input value is 0 or 0.0f, and it will be set to true otherwise.
All active uniform variables defined in a program object are initialized to 0 when the
program object is linked successfully. They retain the values assigned to them by a call
to glUniform until the next successful link operation occurs on the program object, when
they are once again initialized to 0.
The commands glUniform{1|2|3|4}{f|i|ui}v can be used to modify a single uniform variable
or a uniform variable array. These commands pass a count and a pointer to the values to be
loaded into a uniform variable or a uniform variable array. A count of 1 should be used if
modifying the value of a single uniform variable, and a count of 1 or greater can be used
to modify an entire array or part of an array. When loading n elements starting at an
arbitrary position m in a uniform variable array, elements m + n - 1 in the array will be
replaced with the new values. If m + n - 1 is larger than the size of the uniform variable
array, values for all array elements beyond the end of the array will be ignored. The
number specified in the name of the command indicates the number of components for each
element in value, and it should match the number of components in the data type of the
specified uniform variable (e.g., 1 for float, int, bool; 2 for vec2, ivec2, bvec2, etc.).
The data type specified in the name of the command must match the data type for the
specified uniform variable as described previously for glUniform{1|2|3|4}{f|i|ui}.
For uniform variable arrays, each element of the array is considered to be of the type
indicated in the name of the command (e.g., glUniform3f or glUniform3fv can be used to
load a uniform variable array of type vec3). The number of elements of the uniform
variable array to be modified is specified by count
The commands glUniformMatrix{2|3|4|2x3|3x2|2x4|4x2|3x4|4x3}fv are used to modify a matrix
or an array of matrices. The numbers in the command name are interpreted as the
dimensionality of the matrix. The number 2 indicates a 2 x 2 matrix (i.e., 4 values), the
number 3 indicates a 3 x 3 matrix (i.e., 9 values), and the number 4 indicates a 4 x 4
matrix (i.e., 16 values). Non-square matrix dimensionality is explicit, with the first
number representing the number of columns and the second number representing the number of
rows. For example, 2x4 indicates a 2 x 4 matrix with 2 columns and 4 rows (i.e., 8
values). If transpose is GL_FALSE, each matrix is assumed to be supplied in column major
order. If transpose is GL_TRUE, each matrix is assumed to be supplied in row major order.
The count argument indicates the number of matrices to be passed. A count of 1 should be
used if modifying the value of a single matrix, and a count greater than 1 can be used to
modify an array of matrices.
NOTES
glUniform1i and glUniform1iv are the only two functions that may be used to load uniform
variables defined as sampler types. Loading samplers with any other function will result
in a GL_INVALID_OPERATION error.
If count is greater than 1 and the indicated uniform variable is not an array, a
GL_INVALID_OPERATION error is generated and the specified uniform variable will remain
unchanged.
Other than the preceding exceptions, if the type and size of the uniform variable as
defined in the shader do not match the type and size specified in the name of the command
used to load its value, a GL_INVALID_OPERATION error will be generated and the specified
uniform variable will remain unchanged.
If location is a value other than -1 and it does not represent a valid uniform variable
location in the current program object, an error will be generated, and no changes will be
made to the uniform variable storage of the current program object. If location is equal
to -1, the data passed in will be silently ignored and the specified uniform variable will
not be changed.
ERRORS
GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if there is no current program object.
GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if the size of the uniform variable declared in the
shader does not match the size indicated by the glUniform command.
GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if one of the signed or unsigned integer variants of
this function is used to load a uniform variable of type float, vec2, vec3, vec4, or an
array of these, or if one of the floating-point variants of this function is used to load
a uniform variable of type int, ivec2, ivec3, ivec4, unsigned int, uvec2, uvec3, uvec4, or
an array of these.
GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if one of the signed integer variants of this function
is used to load a uniform variable of type unsigned int, uvec2, uvec3, uvec4, or an array
of these.
GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if one of the unsigned integer variants of this function
is used to load a uniform variable of type int, ivec2, ivec3, ivec4, or an array of these.
GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if location is an invalid uniform location for the
current program object and location is not equal to -1.
GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated if count is less than 0.
GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if count is greater than 1 and the indicated uniform
variable is not an array variable.
GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if a sampler is loaded using a command other than
glUniform1i and glUniform1iv.
