glEvalMesh2 function
Computes a two-dimensional grid of points or lines.
void WINAPI glEvalMesh2(
GLenum mode,
GLint i1,
GLint i2,
GLint j1,
GLint j2
);
-
mode
-
A value that specifies whether to compute a two-dimensional mesh of points, lines, or polygons. The following symbolic constants are accepted: GL_POINT, GL_LINE, and GL_FILL.
-
i1
-
The first integer value for grid domain variable i.
-
i2
-
The last integer value for grid domain variable i.
-
j1
-
The first integer value for grid domain variable j.
-
j2
-
The last integer value for grid domain variable j.
This function does not return a value.
The following error codes can be retrieved by the glGetError function.

The function was called between a call to glBegin and the corresponding call to glEnd. |
Use glMapGrid and glEvalMesh in tandem to efficiently generate and evaluate a series of evenly spaced map domain values. The glEvalMesh function steps through the integer domain of a one- or two-dimensional grid, whose range is the domain of the evaluation maps specified by glMap1 and glMap2. The mode parameter determines whether the resulting vertices are connected as points, lines, or filled polygons.
In the two-dimensional case, glEvalMesh2, let
? u = (u2 u1)/n
? v = (v2 v1)/m,
where n, u1, u2, m, v1, and v2 are the arguments to the most recent glMapGrid2 function. Then, if mode is GL_FILL, glEvalMesh2 is equivalent to:
for (j = j1; j < j2; j += 1)
{
glBegin(GL_QUAD_STRIP);
for (i = i1; i <= i2; i += 1)
{
glEvalCoord2(i? u + u1 ( ) , j ? v + v1);
glEvalCoord2(i? u + u1 ( ) , (j+1) ? v + v1);
}
glEnd( ); }
If mode is GL_LINE, then a call to glEvalMesh2 is equivalent to:
for (j = j1; j <= j2; j += 1)
{
glBegin(GL_LINE_STRIP);
for (i = i1; i <= i2; i += 1)
{
glEvalCoord2(i? u + u1, j? v + v1);
}
glEnd( );
}
for (i = i1; i <= i2; i += 1)
{
glBegin(GL_LINE_STRIP);
for (j = j1; j <= j1; j += 1)
{
glEvalCoord2(i? u + u1, j? v + v1);
}
glEnd( );
}
And finally, if mode is GL_POINT, then a call to glEvalMesh2 is equivalent to:
glBegin(GL_POINTS);
for (j = j1; j <= j2; j += 1)
{
for (i = i1; i <= i2; i += 1)
{
glEvalCoord2(i? u + u1, j? v + v1);
}
}
glEnd( );
In all three cases, the only absolute numeric requirements are that if i = n, then the value computed from i? u + u1 is exactly u2, and if j = m, then the value computed from j? v + v1 is exactly v2. The following functions retrieve information relating to glEvalMesh:
glGet with argument GL_MAP1_GRID_DOMAIN
glGet with argument GL_MAP2_GRID_DOMAIN
glGet with argument GL_MAP1_GRID_SEGMENTS
glGet with argument GL_MAP2_GRID_SEGMENTS
