glEdgeFlag
NAME
glEdgeFlag -- flag edges as either boundary or nonboundary
C SPECIFICATION
void glEdgeFlag(GLboolean flag)
PARAMETERS
- flag
-
Specifies the current edge flag value, either true or false.
C SPECIFICATION
void glEdgeFlagv(const GLboolean *flag)
PARAMETERS
- flag
-
Specifies a pointer to an array that contains a single Boolean element,
which replaces the current edge flag.
DESCRIPTION
Each vertex of a polygon, separate triangle, or separate quadriliteral specified
between a glBegin/
glEnd pair is marked as the start of either
a boundary or nonboundary edge. If the current edge flag is true when the vertex
is specified, the vertex is marked as the start of a boundary edge. Otherwise,
the vertex is marked as start of a nonboundary edge. glEdgeFlag sets
the edge flag to true if flag is nonzero, false otherwise.
The vertices of connected triangles and connected quadriliterals are always
marked as boundary, regardless of the value of the edge flag.
Boundary and nonboundary edge flags on vertices are significant only if
GL_POLYGON_MODE is set to GL_POINT or GL_LINE. See
glPolygonMode.
Initially, the edge flag is true.
NOTES
The current edge flag can be updated at any time. In particular,
glEdgeFlag
can be called between a call to glBegin
and the corresponding call to glEnd.
