GLALPHAFUNC(3G) GLALPHAFUNC(3G)NAMEglAlphaFunc - specify the alpha test functionC SPECIFICATIONvoid glAlphaFunc( GLenum func, GLclampf ref )PARAMETERSfunc Specifies the alpha comparison function. Symbolic constants GL_NEVER, GL_LESS, GL_EQUAL, GL_LEQUAL, GL_GREATER, GL_NOTEQUAL, GL_GEQUAL, and GL_ALWAYS are accepted. The initial value is GL_ALWAYS. ref Specifies the reference value that incoming alpha values are compared to. This value is clamped to the range [0, 1], where 0 repre- sents the lowest possible alpha value and 1 the highest possible value. The initial reference value is 0.DESCRIPTIONThe alpha test discards fragments depending on the outcome of a comparison between an incoming fragment's alpha value and a constant refer- ence value. glAlphaFunc specifies the reference value and the comparison function. The comparison is performed only if alpha testing is enabled. By default, it is not enabled. (See glEnable and glDisable of GL_ALPHA_TEST.) func and ref specify the conditions under which the pixel is drawn. The incoming alpha value is compared to ref using the function speci- fied by func. If the value passes the comparison, the incoming fragment is drawn if it also passes subsequent stencil and depth buffer tests. If the value fails the comparison, no change is made to the frame buffer at that pixel location. The comparison functions are as follows: GL_NEVER Never passes. GL_LESS Passes if the incoming alpha value is less than the reference value. GL_EQUAL Passes if the incoming alpha value is equal to the reference value. GL_LEQUAL Passes if the incoming alpha value is less than or equal to the reference value. GL_GREATER Passes if the incoming alpha value is greater than the reference value. GL_NOTEQUAL Passes if the incoming alpha value is not equal to the reference value. GL_GEQUAL Passes if the incoming alpha value is greater than or equal to the reference value. GL_ALWAYS Always passes (initial value). glAlphaFunc operates on all pixel write operations, including those resulting from the scan conversion of points, lines, polygons, and bit- maps, and from pixel draw and copy operations. glAlphaFunc does not affect screen clear operations.NOTESAlpha testing is performed only in RGBA mode.ERRORSGL_INVALID_ENUM is generated if func is not an accepted value. GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if glAlphaFunc is executed between the execution of glBegin and the corresponding execution of glEnd.ASSOCIATED GETSglGet with argument GL_ALPHA_TEST_FUNC glGet with argument GL_ALPHA_TEST_REF glIsEnabled with argument GL_ALPHA_TESTSEE ALSOglBlendFunc(3G), glClear(3G), glDepthFunc(3G), glEnable(3G), glStencilFunc(3G) GLALPHAFUNC(3G)
