SGI relicenses OpenGL: "A huge gift to the free software community"
09-19-2008 07:30 AM
After nine months, an open secret can finally be acknowledged: The OpenGL code that is responsible for 3-D acceleration on GNU/Linux, which was released by SGI in 1999, has been running on licenses that were accepted by neither the Free Software Foundation (FSF) nor the Open Source Initiative. Today, however, the FSF has announced that the licenses in question, the SGI Free License B and the GLX Public License, have been rewritten after months of negotiation between the FSF and SGI. The problem is now resolved, and the result is a code contribution that the FSF ranks as one of the greatest given to the community by a proprietary company.

glpointparameter

GLPOINTPARAMETER(3G)						    OpenGL 3.3						      GLPOINTPARAMETER(3G)

NAME

       glPointParameter - specify point parameters

C SPECIFICATION

       void glPointParameterf(GLenum pname, GLfloat param);

       void glPointParameteri(GLenum pname, GLint param);

PARAMETERS

       pname
	   Specifies a single-valued point parameter.  GL_POINT_FADE_THRESHOLD_SIZE, and GL_POINT_SPRITE_COORD_ORIGIN are accepted.

       param
	   Specifies the value that pname will be set to.

C SPECIFICATION

       void glPointParameterfv(GLenum pname, const GLfloat * params);

       void glPointParameteriv(GLenum pname, const GLint * params);

PARAMETERS

       pname
	   Specifies a point parameter.  GL_POINT_FADE_THRESHOLD_SIZE, and GL_POINT_SPRITE_COORD_ORIGIN are accepted.

       params
	   Specifies the value to be assigned to pname..

DESCRIPTION

       The following values are accepted for pname:

       GL_POINT_FADE_THRESHOLD_SIZE

	   params is a single floating-point value that specifies the threshold value to which point sizes are clamped if they exceed the
	   specified value. The default value is 1.0.

       GL_POINT_SPRITE_COORD_ORIGIN

	   params is a single enum specifying the point sprite texture coordinate origin, either GL_LOWER_LEFT or GL_UPPER_LEFT. The default value
	   is GL_UPPER_LEFT.

ERRORS

       GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated if the value specified for GL_POINT_FADE_THRESHOLD_SIZE is less than zero.

       GL_INVALID_ENUM is generated If the value specified for GL_POINT_SPRITE_COORD_ORIGIN is not GL_LOWER_LEFT or GL_UPPER_LEFT.

ASSOCIATED GETS

       glGet() with argument GL_POINT_FADE_THRESHOLD_SIZE

       glGet() with argument GL_POINT_SPRITE_COORD_ORIGIN
