GLENABLE(3G)

NAME
glEnable, glDisable - enable or disable server-side GL capabilities

C SPECIFICATION
void glEnable( GLenum cap )

PARAMETERS

cap Specifies a symbolic constant indicating a GL capability.

C SPECIFICATION
void glDisable( GLenum cap )

PARAMETERS

cap Specifies a symbolic constant indicating a GL capability.

DESCRIPTION
glEnable and glDisable enable and disable various capabilities. Use glIsEnabled or glGet to determine the current setting of any capability. The initial value for each capability with the exception of GL_DITHER is GL_FALSE. The initial value for GL_DITHER is GL_TRUE.

Both glEnable and glDisable take a single argument, cap, which can assume one of the following values:

NOTES
GL_POLYGON_OFFSET_FILL, GL_POLYGON_OFFSET_LINE, GL_POLYGON_OFFSET_POINT, GL_COLOR_LOGIC_OP, and GL_INDEX_LOGIC_OP are available only if the GL version is 1.1 or greater.

GL_RESCALE_NORMAL, and GL_TEXTURE_3D are available only if the GL version is 1.2 or greater.

GL_COLOR_TABLE, GL_CONVOLUTION_1D, GL_CONVOLUTION_2D, GL_HISTOGRAM, GL_MINMAX, GL_POST_COLOR_MATRIX_COLOR_TABLE, GL_POST_CONVOLUTION_COLOR_TABLE, and GL_SEPARABLE_2D are available only if GL_ARB_imaging is returned from glGet with an argument of GL_EXTENSIONS.

If GL_ARB_multitexture is supported, GL_TEXTURE_1D, GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_3D, GL_TEXTURE_GEN_S, GL_TEXTURE_GEN_T, GL_TEXTURE_GEN_R, and GL_TEXTURE_GEN_Q enable or disable the respective state for the active texture unit specified with glActiveTextureARB.

GL_INVALID_ENUM is generated if cap is not one of the values listed previously.

GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if glEnable or glDisable is executed between the execution of glBegin and the corresponding execution of glEnd.
