glPassThrough
NAME
glPassThrough -- place a marker in the feedback buffer
C SPECIFICATION
void glPassThrough(GLfloat token)
PARAMETERS
- token
-
Specifies a marker value to be placed in the feedback buffer
following a GL_PASS_THROUGH_TOKEN.
DESCRIPTION
Feedback is a GL render mode. The mode is selected by calling
glRenderMode
with GL_FEEDBACK. When the GL is in feedback mode, no pixels are
produced by rasterization. Instead, information about primitives that would
have been rasterized is fed back to the application using the GL. See
glFeedbackBuffer
for a description of the feedback buffer and the values in it.
glPassThrough inserts a user-defined marker in the feedback buffer when
it is executed in feedback mode. token is returned as if it were a
primitive; it is indicated with its own unique identifying value:
GL_PASS_THROUGH_TOKEN. The order of glPassThrough commands
with respect to the specification of graphics primitives is maintained.
NOTES
glPassThrough is ignored if the GL is not in feedback mode.
ERRORS
GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if glPassThrough is called
between a call to glBegin and the
corresponding call to glEnd.
