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

Remarks

The glPixelZoom function specifies values for the x and y zoom factors. During the execution of glDrawPixels or glCopyPixels, if (x_r ,y_r ) is the current raster position, and a given element is in the nth row and mth column of the pixel rectangle, then pixels whose centers are in the rectangle with corners at

are candidates for replacement. Any pixel whose center lies on the bottom or left edge of this rectangular region is also modified.

Pixel zoom factors are not limited to positive values. Negative zoom factors reflect the resulting image about the current raster position.
