<para>

<function>glBeginQuery</function> and <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glEndQuery</refentrytitle></citerefentry> delimit the
|
|
boundaries of a query object. If a query object with name <parameter>id</parameter> does not yet exist it is created.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
When <function>glBeginQuery</function> is executed, the query object's samples-passed counter is reset to 0. Subsequent
|
|
rendering will increment the counter once for every sample that passes the depth test. 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>
|
|
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 samples-passed count exceeds the maximum value representable in the number of available bits, as reported by
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>glGetQueryiv</refentrytitle></citerefentry> with <parameter>pname</parameter>
|
|
<constant>GL_QUERY_COUNTER_BITS</constant>, the count becomes undefined.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
An implementation may support 0 bits in its samples-passed 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 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>

<function>glBeginQuery</function> and <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glEndQuery</refentrytitle></citerefentry>
