<para>

<function>glBeginQuery</function> and <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glEndQuery</refentrytitle></citerefentry> delimit the
|
|
boundaries of a query object. <parameter>query</parameter> must be a name previously returned from a call to
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>glGenQueries</refentrytitle></citerefentry>. If a query object with name <parameter>id</parameter>
|
|
does not yet exist it is created with the type determined by <parameter>target</parameter>. <parameter>target</parameter> must
|
|
be one of <constant>GL_SAMPLES_PASSED</constant>, <constant>GL_ANY_SAMPLES_PASSED</constant>, <constant>GL_PRIMITIVES_GENERATED</constant>,
|
|
<constant>GL_TRANSFORM_FEEDBACK_PRIMITIVES_WRITTEN</constant>, or <constant>GL_TIME_ELAPSED</constant>. The behavior of the query
|
|
object depends on its type and is as follows.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
If <parameter>target</parameter> is <constant>GL_SAMPLES_PASSED</constant>, <parameter>target</parameter> must be an unused name,
|
|
or the name of an existing occlusion query object.
|
|
When <function>glBeginQuery</function> is executed, the query object's samples-passed counter is reset to 0. Subsequent
|
|
rendering will increment the counter for every sample that passes the depth test. If the value of <constant>GL_SAMPLE_BUFFERS</constant>
|
|
is 0, then the samples-passed count is incremented by 1 for each fragment. If the value of <constant>GL_SAMPLE_BUFFERS</constant>
|
|
is 1, then the samples-passed count is incremented by the number of samples whose coverage bit is set. However, implementations, at their
|
|
discression may instead increase the samples-passed count by the value of <constant>GL_SAMPLES</constant> if any sample in the fragment
|
|
is covered. When <function>glEndQuery</function>
|
|
is executed, the samples-passed counter is assigned to the query object's result value. This value can be queried by
|
|
calling <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glGetQueryObject</refentrytitle></citerefentry> with <parameter>pname</parameter>
|
|
<constant>GL_QUERY_RESULT</constant>.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
If <parameter>target</parameter> is <constant>GL_ANY_SAMPLES_PASSED</constant>, <parameter>target</parameter> must be an unused name,
|
|
or the name of an existing boolean occlusion query object.
|
|
When <function>glBeginQuery</function> is executed, the query object's samples-passed flag is reset to <constant>GL_FALSE</constant>.
|
|
Subsequent rendering causes the flag to be set to <constant>GL_TRUE</constant> if any sample passes the depth test. When
|
|
<function>glEndQuery</function> is executed, the samples-passed flag is assigned to the query object's result value. This value can
|
|
be queried by calling <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glGetQueryObject</refentrytitle></citerefentry> with <parameter>pname</parameter>
|
|
<constant>GL_QUERY_RESULT</constant>.
|
|
</para>
|

<para>
|
|
If <parameter>target</parameter> is <constant>GL_PRIMITIVES_GENERATED</constant>, <parameter>target</parameter> must be an unused
|
|
name, or the name of an existing primitive query object previously bound to the <constant>GL_PRIMITIVES_GENERATED</constant> query binding.
|
|
When <function>glBeginQuery</function> is executed, the query object's primitives-generated counter is reset to 0. Subsequent
|
|
rendering will increment the counter once for every vertex that is emitted from the geometry shader, or from the vertex shader if
|
|
no geometry shader is present. When <function>glEndQuery</function> is executed, the primitives-generated counter is assigned to
|
|
the query object's result value. This value can be queried by calling <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glGetQueryObject</refentrytitle></citerefentry> with <parameter>pname</parameter>
|
|
<constant>GL_QUERY_RESULT</constant>.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
If <parameter>target</parameter> is <constant>GL_TRANSFORM_FEEDBACK_PRIMITIVES_WRITTEN</constant>, <parameter>target</parameter> must be
|
|
an unused name, or the name of an existing primitive query object previously bound to the <constant>GL_TRANSFORM_FEEDBACK_PRIMITIVES_WRITTEN</constant>
|
|
query binding. When <function>glBeginQuery</function> is executed, the query object's primitives-written counter is reset to 0. Subsequent
|
|
rendering will increment the counter once for every vertex that is written into the bound transform feedback buffer(s). If transform feedback
|
|
mode is not activated between the call to <function>glBeginQuery</function> and <function>glEndQuery</function>, the counter will not be
|
|
incremented. When <function>glEndQuery</function> is executed, the primitives-written counter is assigned to
|
|
the query object's result value. This value can be queried by calling <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glGetQueryObject</refentrytitle></citerefentry> with <parameter>pname</parameter>
|
|
<constant>GL_QUERY_RESULT</constant>.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
If <parameter>target</parameter> is <constant>GL_TIME_ELAPSED</constant>, <parameter>target</parameter> must be
|
|
an unused name, or the name of an existing timer query object previously bound to the <constant>GL_TIME_ELAPSED</constant>
|
|
query binding. When <function>glBeginQuery</function> is executed, the query object's time counter is reset to 0. When <function>glEndQuery</function>
|
|
is executed, the elapsed server time that has passed since the call to <function>glBeginQuery</function> is written into the query object's
|
|
time counter. This value can be queried by calling <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glGetQueryObject</refentrytitle></citerefentry> with <parameter>pname</parameter>
|
|
<constant>GL_QUERY_RESULT</constant>.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Querying the <constant>GL_QUERY_RESULT</constant> implicitly flushes the GL pipeline until the rendering delimited by the
|
|
query object has completed and the result is available. <constant>GL_QUERY_RESULT_AVAILABLE</constant> can be queried to
|
|
determine if the result is immediately available or if the rendering is not yet complete.

<para>
|
|
If the query target's count exceeds the maximum value representable in the number of available bits, as reported by
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>glGetQueryiv</refentrytitle></citerefentry> with <parameter>target</parameter> set to the
|
|
appropriate query target and <parameter>pname</parameter>
|
|
<constant>GL_QUERY_COUNTER_BITS</constant>, the count becomes undefined.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
An implementation may support 0 bits in its counter, in which case query results are always undefined
|
|
and essentially useless.

|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
When <constant>GL_SAMPLE_BUFFERS</constant> is 0, the samples-passed counter of an occlusion query will increment once for each
|
|
fragment that passes the depth test. When <constant>GL_SAMPLE_BUFFERS</constant> is 1, an implementation may either increment
|
|
the samples-passed counter individually for each sample of a fragment that passes the depth test, or it may choose to increment
|
|
the counter for all samples of a fragment if any one of them passes the depth test.
|
|
</para>
|

<para>
|
|
The query targets <constant>GL_ANY_SAMPLES_PASSED</constant>, and <constant>GL_TIME_ELAPSED</constant> are availale only if

|
the GL version is 3.3 or higher.
