OpenGL 1.1 for AIX: Reference Manual

glGetClipPlane Subroutine

Purpose

Returns the coefficients of the clipping plane.

Library

OpenGL C bindings library: libGL.a

C Syntax

void glGetClipPlane(GLenum Plane, 
        GLdouble *Equation)

Parameters

Plane Specifies a clipping plane. The number of clipping planes depends on the implementation; however, at least six clipping planes are supported. They are identified by symbolic names of the form GL_CLIP_PLANEi where 0 < i < GL_MAX_CLIP_PLANES.
Equation Returns four double-precision values that are the coefficients of the plane equation of Plane in eye coordinates.

Description

The glGetClipPlane subroutine returns in Equation the four coefficients of the plane equation for Plane.

Notes

It is always the case that GL_CLIP_PLANEi = GL_CLIP_PLANE0 + i.

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

Errors

GL_INVALID_ENUM Plane is not an accepted value.
GL_INVALID_OPERATION The glGetClipPlane subroutine is called between a call to glBegin and the corresponding call to glEnd.
