GLSTENCILFUNC(3G) | GLSTENCILFUNC(3G) |
The stencil test conditionally eliminates a pixel based on the outcome of a comparison between the reference value and the value in the stencil buffer. To enable and disable the test, call glEnable and glDisable with argument GL_STENCIL_TEST. To specify actions based on the outcome of the stencil test, call glStencilOp.
func is a symbolic constant that determines the stencil comparison function. It accepts one of eight values, shown in the following list. ref is an integer reference value that is used in the stencil comparison. It is clamped to the range [0,$2 sup n - 1$], where $n$ is the number of bitplanes in the stencil buffer. mask is bitwise ANDed with both the reference value and the stored stencil value, with the ANDed values participating in the comparison.
If stencil represents the value stored in the corresponding stencil buffer location, the following list shows the effect of each comparison function that can be specified by func. Only if the comparison succeeds is the pixel passed through to the next stage in the rasterization process (see glStencilOp). All tests treat stencil values as unsigned integers in the range [0,$2 sup n - 1$], where $n$ is the number of bitplanes in the stencil buffer.
The following values are accepted by func:
GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if glStencilFunc is executed between the execution of glBegin and the corresponding execution of glEnd.
