# glPixelZoom

specify the pixel zoom factors

## C Specification

                    void glPixelZoom
                    GLfloat xfactor
                    GLfloat yfactor

## Parameters

`xfactor`
`yfactor`

  Specify the x and y zoom factors for pixel write operations.

## Description

`glPixelZoom` specifies values for the x and y zoom factors. During the execution of glDrawPixels or glCopyPixels, if ( xr , yr ) is the current raster position, and a given element is in the mth row and nth column of the pixel rectangle, then pixels whose centers are in the rectangle with corners at

( xr + n &CenterDot; xfactor , yr + m &CenterDot; yfactor )

( xr + n + 1 &CenterDot; xfactor , yr + m + 1 &CenterDot; yfactor )

are candidates for replacement. Any pixel whose center lies on the bottom or left edge of this rectangular region is also modified.

Pixel zoom factors are not limited to positive values. Negative zoom factors reflect the resulting image about the current raster position.

## Errors

`GL_INVALID_OPERATION` is generated if `glPixelZoom` is executed between the execution of glBegin and the corresponding execution of glEnd.
