NAME

C SPECIFICATION

void glEnable(GLenum cap)

C SPECIFICATION

void glDisable(GLenum cap)

PARAMETERS

cap

Specifies a symbolic constant indicating a GL capability.

DESCRIPTION

Both glEnable and glDisable take a single argument, cap, which can assume one of the following values:

If enabled, blend the incoming RGBA color values with the values in the color buffers. See glBlendFunc.

GL_CLIP_PLANEi

If enabled, clip geometry against user-defined clipping plane i. See glClipPlane.

If enabled, have one or more material parameters track the current color. See glColorMaterial.

GL_MAP2_VERTEX_4

If enabled, calls to glEvalCoord2, glEvalMesh2 and glEvalPoint2 will generate homogeneous x, y, z and w vertex coordinates. See glMap2.

GL_NORMALIZE

If enabled, normal vectors specified with glNormal are scaled to unit length after transformation. See glNormal.

GL_POINT_SMOOTH

If enabled, draw points with proper filtering. Otherwise, draw aliased points. See glPointSize.

GL_POLYGON_SMOOTH

If enabled, draw polygons with proper filtering. Otherwise, draw aliased polygons. See glPolygonMode.
