<para >
Stenciling,
like depth-buffering,
enables and disables drawing on a per-pixel basis.
You draw into the stencil planes using GL drawing primitives,
then render geometry and images,
using the stencil planes to mask out portions of the screen.
Stenciling is typically used in multipass rendering algorithms
to achieve special effects,
such as decals,
outlining,
and constructive solid geometry rendering.
</para>
<para >
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 <citerefentry > <refentrytitle > glEnable</refentrytitle> </citerefentry> and <citerefentry > <refentrytitle > glDisable</refentrytitle> </citerefentry>
with argument <constant > GL_STENCIL_TEST</constant> .
To specify actions based on the outcome of the stencil test, call
2013-11-03 11:43:50 +00:00
<citerefentry > <refentrytitle > glStencilOp</refentrytitle> </citerefentry> or

<parameter > func</parameter> is a symbolic constant that determines the stencil comparison function.
It accepts one of eight values,
shown in the following list.
<parameter > ref</parameter> is an integer reference value that is used in the stencil comparison.

is the number of bitplanes in the stencil buffer.
<parameter > mask</parameter> is bitwise ANDed with both the reference value

with the ANDed values participating in the comparison.
</para>
<para >
If <emphasis > stencil</emphasis> 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 <parameter > func</parameter> .
Only if the comparison succeeds is the pixel passed through
to the next stage in the rasterization process
(see <citerefentry > <refentrytitle > glStencilOp</refentrytitle> </citerefentry> ).
All tests treat <emphasis > stencil</emphasis> values as unsigned integers in the range
