glClipControl — control clip coordinate to window coordinate behavior
void glClipControl(
|
GLenum origin, |
GLenum depth); |
origin
Specifies the clip control origin. Must be one of
GL_LOWER_LEFT or
GL_UPPER_LEFT.
depth
Specifies the clip control depth mode. Must be one
of GL_NEGATIVE_ONE_TO_ONE or
GL_ZERO_TO_ONE.
glClipControl controls the clipping volume
behavior and the clip coordinate to window coordinate
transformation behavior.
The view volume is defined by
$$z_{min} \leq z_c \leq w_c$$
where $z_{min} = -w_c$ when depth is
GL_NEGATIVE_ONE_TO_ONE, and $z_{min} = 0$
when depth is
GL_ZERO_TO_ONE.
The normalized device coordinate $y_d$ is given by
$$y_d = { { f \times y_c } \over w_c }$$
where $f = 1$ when origin is
GL_LOWER_LEFT, and $f = -1$ when
origin is
GL_UPPER_LEFT.
The window coordinate $z_w$ is given by
$$z_w = s \times z_d + b$$
where $s = { { f - n } \over 2 }$ and $b = { {n + f} \over 2 }$ when
depth is
GL_NEGATIVE_ONE_TO_ONE, and $s = f - n$ and
$b = n$ when depth is
GL_ZERO_TO_ONE. $n$ and $f$ are the near
and far depth range values set with
glDepthRange.
Finally, the polygon area computation defined by
gl_FrontFacing
to determine if a polygon is front- or back-facing has its sign
negated when origin is
GL_UPPER_LEFT.
The default GL clip volume definition is for a
origin of
GL_LOWER_LEFT and a
depth of
GL_NEGATIVE_ONE_TO_ONE.
An origin of
GL_UPPER_LEFT and a
depth of
GL_ZERO_TO_ONE corresponds to Direct3D's
clip volume definition.
An origin of
GL_UPPER_LEFT and a
depth of
GL_NEGATIVE_ONE_TO_ONE corresponds to the
upper-left origin of the window coordinate system of Microsoft
Windows and the X Window System.
There is extensive discussion of the uses and further
consequences of the different clip volume settings in the
GL_ARB_clip_control extension specification in the
OpenGL Registry at URL http://www.opengl.org/registry/.
An GL_INVALID_ENUM error is generated if
origin is not
GL_LOWER_LEFT or
GL_UPPER_LEFT.
An GL_INVALID_ENUM error is generated if
depth is not
GL_NEGATIVE_ONE_TO_ONE or
GL_ZERO_TO_ONE.
