<para>
|
||
|
The <function>glFeedbackBuffer</function> function controls feedback.
|
||
|
Feedback, like selection, is a GL mode.
|
||
|
The mode is selected by calling
|
||
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>glRenderMode</refentrytitle></citerefentry> with <constant>GL_FEEDBACK</constant>.
|
||
|
When the GL is in feedback mode,
|
||
|
no pixels are produced by rasterization.
|
||
|
Instead, information about primitives that would have been
|
||
|
rasterized is fed back to the application using the GL.
|
||
|
</para>
|
||
|
<para>
|
||
|
<function>glFeedbackBuffer</function> has three arguments:
|
||
|
<parameter>buffer</parameter> is a pointer to an array of floating-point values
|
||
|
into which feedback information is placed.
|
||
|
<parameter>size</parameter> indicates the size of the array.
|
||
|
<parameter>type</parameter> is a symbolic constant describing the information
|
||
|
that is fed back for each vertex.
|
||
|
<function>glFeedbackBuffer</function> must be issued before feedback mode is enabled
|
||
|
(by calling <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glRenderMode</refentrytitle></citerefentry> with argument <constant>GL_FEEDBACK</constant>).
|
||
|
Setting <constant>GL_FEEDBACK</constant> without establishing the feedback buffer,
|
||
|
or calling <function>glFeedbackBuffer</function> while the GL is in feedback mode,
|
||
|
is an error.
|
||
|
</para>
|
||
|
<para>
|
||
|
When <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glRenderMode</refentrytitle></citerefentry> is called while in feedback mode, it returns the number of entries
|
||
|
placed in the feedback array and resets the feedback array pointer to the base
|
||
|
of the feedback buffer. The returned value never exceeds <parameter>size</parameter>. If the feedback
|
||
|
data required more room than was available in <parameter>buffer</parameter>,
|
||
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>glRenderMode</refentrytitle></citerefentry> returns a negative value.
|
||
|
To take the GL out of feedback mode, call
|
||
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>glRenderMode</refentrytitle></citerefentry> with a parameter value other than <constant>GL_FEEDBACK</constant>.
|
||
|
</para>
|
||
|
<para>
|
||
|
While in feedback mode,
|
||
|
each primitive, bitmap, or pixel rectangle that would be rasterized
|
||
|
generates a block of values that are copied into the feedback array.
|
||
|
If doing so would cause the number of entries to exceed the maximum,
|
||
|
the block is partially written so as to fill the array
|
||
|
(if there is any room left at all),
|
||
|
and an overflow flag is set.
|
||
|
Each block begins with a code indicating the primitive type,
|
||
|
followed by values that describe the primitive's vertices and
|
||
|
associated data.
|
||
|
Entries are also written for bitmaps and pixel rectangles.
|
||
|
Feedback occurs after polygon culling and <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glPolygonMode</refentrytitle></citerefentry> interpretation
|
||
|
of polygons has taken place,
|
||
|
so polygons that are culled are not returned in the feedback buffer.
|
||
|
It can also occur after polygons with more than three edges are broken up
|
||
|
into triangles,
|
||
|
if the GL implementation renders polygons by performing this decomposition.
|
||
|
</para>
|
||
|
<para>
|
||
|
The <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glPassThrough</refentrytitle></citerefentry> command can be used to insert a marker
|
||
|
into the feedback buffer.
|
||
|
See <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glPassThrough</refentrytitle></citerefentry>.
|
||
|
</para>
|
||
|
<para>
|
||
|
Following is the grammar for the blocks of values written
|
||
|
into the feedback buffer.
|
||
|
Each primitive is indicated with a unique identifying value
|
||
|
followed by some number of vertices.
|
||
|
Polygon entries include an integer value indicating how many vertices follow.
|
||
|
A vertex is fed back as some number of floating-point values,
|
||
|
as determined by <parameter>type</parameter>.
|
||
|
Colors are fed back as four values in RGBA mode and one value
|
||
|
in color index mode.
