glGetPolygonStipple function

The glGetPolygonStipple function returns the polygon stipple pattern.

Syntax

void WINAPI glGetPolygonStipple(
   GLubyte *mask
);

Parameters

mask

Returns the stipple pattern.

Return value

This function does not return a value.

Error codes

The following error code can be retrieved by the glGetError function.

Name	Meaning
GL_INVALID_OPERATION	The function was called between a call to glBegin and the corresponding call to glEnd.

Remarks

The glGetPolygonStipple function returns a 32x32 polygon stipple pattern through the mask parameter. The pattern is packed into memory as if glReadPixels with both height and width of 32, type of GL_BITMAP, and format of GL_COLOR_INDEX were called, and the stipple pattern were stored in an internal 32x32 color-index buffer. Unlike glReadPixels, however, pixel-transfer operations (shift, offset, and pixel map) are not applied to the returned stipple image.

If an error is generated, no change is made to the contents of mask.
