C Specification
void glViewport
GLint x
GLint y
GLsizei width
GLsizei height
Parameters
x
y
Specify the lower left corner of the viewport rectangle,
in pixels. The initial value is (0,0).
width
height
Specify the width and height
of the viewport.
When a GL context is first attached to a window,
width and height are set to the dimensions of that
window.
Description
glViewport specifies the affine transformation of
x
and
y
from
normalized device coordinates to window coordinates.
Let
x
nd
y
nd
be normalized device coordinates.
Then the window coordinates
x
w
y
w
are computed as follows:
x
w
=
x
nd

width

Viewport width and height are silently clamped
to a range that depends on the implementation.
To query this range, call glGet with argument
GL_MAX_VIEWPORT_DIMS.
Errors
GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated if either width or height is negative.
Associated Gets
glGet with argument GL_VIEWPORT
glGet with argument GL_MAX_VIEWPORT_DIMS
