The params parameter returns one value: the number of pixel locations skipped before the first pixel is read from memory. See glPixelStore. - GL_UNPACK_SKIP_ROWS
The params parameter returns one value: the number of rows of pixel locations skipped before the first pixel is read from memory. See glPixelStore. - GL_UNPACK_SWAP_BYTES
The params parameter returns a single Boolean value indicating whether the bytes of 2-byte and 4-byte pixel indexes and components are swapped after being read from memory. See glPixelStore. - GL_VERTEX_ARRAY
The params parameter returns a single Boolean value indicating whether the vertex array is enabled. See glVertexPointer. - GL_VERTEX_ARRAY_SIZE
The params parameter returns one value, the number of coordinates per vertex in the vertex array. See glVertexPointer. - GL_VERTEX_ARRAY_STRIDE
The params parameter returns one value, the byte offset between consecutive vertexes in the vertex array. See glVertexPointer. - GL_VERTEX_ARRAY_TYPE
The params parameter returns one value, the data type of each coordinate in the vertex array. See glVertexPointer. - GL_VIEWPORT
The params parameter returns four values: the x and y window coordinates of the viewport, followed by its width and height. See glViewport. - GL_ZOOM_X
The params parameter returns one value: the x pixel zoom factor. See glPixelZoom. - GL_ZOOM_Y
The params parameter returns one value: the y pixel zoom factor. See glPixelZoom. -
params
-
Returns the value or values of the specified parameter.
Return value
This function does not return a value.
Error codes
The following error codes can be retrieved by the glGetError function.
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
|
pname was not an accepted value. |
|
glGetDoublev was called between a call toglBegin and the corresponding call to glEnd. |
Remarks
This function returns values for simple state variables in OpenGL. The pname parameter is a symbolic constant indicating the state variable to be returned, and params is a pointer to an array of the indicated type in which to place the returned data.
Type conversion is performed if params has a different type from the state variable value being requested. If you call glGetBooleanv, a floating-point or integer value is converted to GL_FALSE if and only if it is zero. Otherwise, it is converted to GL_TRUE.
If you call glGetIntegerv, Boolean values are returned as GL_TRUE or GL_FALSE, and most floating-point values are rounded to the nearest integer value. Floating-point colors and normals, however, are returned with a linear mapping that maps 1.0 to the most positive representable integer value and 1.0 to the most negative representable integer value.
If you call glGetFloatv or glGetDoublev, Boolean values are returned as GL_TRUE or GL_FALSE, and integer values are converted to floating-point values.
You can query many of the Boolean parameters more easily with glIsEnabled.
