1991-2006 Silicon Graphics, Inc. glReadBuffer 3G glReadBuffer select a color buffer source for pixels void glReadBuffer GLenum mode mode Specifies a color buffer. Accepted values are GL_FRONT_LEFT, GL_FRONT_RIGHT, GL_BACK_LEFT, GL_BACK_RIGHT, GL_FRONT, GL_BACK, GL_LEFT, and GL_RIGHT. glReadBuffer specifies a color buffer as the source for subsequent glReadPixels, glCopyTexImage1D, glCopyTexImage2D, glCopyTexSubImage1D, glCopyTexSubImage2D, and glCopyTexSubImage3D commands. mode accepts one of twelve or more predefined values. In a fully configured system, GL_FRONT, GL_LEFT, and GL_FRONT_LEFT all name the front left buffer, GL_FRONT_RIGHT and GL_RIGHT name the front right buffer, and GL_BACK_LEFT and GL_BACK name the back left buffer. Nonstereo double-buffered configurations have only a front left and a back left buffer. Single-buffered configurations have a front left and a front right buffer if stereo, and only a front left buffer if nonstereo. It is an error to specify a nonexistent buffer to glReadBuffer. mode is initially GL_FRONT in single-buffered configurations and GL_BACK in double-buffered configurations. GL_INVALID_ENUM is generated if mode is not one of the twelve (or more) accepted values. GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if mode specifies a buffer that does not exist. glGet with argument GL_READ_BUFFER glCopyTexImage1D, glCopyTexImage2D, glCopyTexSubImage1D, glCopyTexSubImage2D, glCopyTexSubImage3D, glDrawBuffer, glReadPixels Copyright 1991-2006 Silicon Graphics, Inc.
