<inlineequation><mml:math><mml:mi mathvariant="italic">y</mml:mi></mml:math></inlineequation>,

<para>
The current normal is set to the given coordinates
whenever <function>glNormal</function> is issued.
Byte, short, or integer arguments are converted to floating-point
format with a linear mapping that maps the most positive representable integer
value to 1.0
and the most negative representable integer value to
<inlineequation><mml:math>
<!-- eqn: -1.0:-->
<mml:mn>-1.0</mml:mn>
</mml:math></inlineequation>.
</para>
<para>
Normals specified with <function>glNormal</function> need not have unit length.
If <constant>GL_NORMALIZE</constant> is enabled,
then normals of any length specified with <function>glNormal</function> are normalized after transformation.
If <constant>GL_RESCALE_NORMAL</constant> is enabled, normals are scaled by a scaling factor
derived from the modelview matrix. <constant>GL_RESCALE_NORMAL</constant> requires that the
originally specified normals were of unit length, and that the modelview
matrix contain only uniform scales for proper results.
To enable and disable normalization, call <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glEnable</refentrytitle></citerefentry> and <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glDisable</refentrytitle></citerefentry>
with either <constant>GL_NORMALIZE</constant> or <constant>GL_RESCALE_NORMAL</constant>.
Normalization is initially disabled.
</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1 id="notes"><title>Notes</title>
<para>
The current normal can be updated at any time.
In particular, <function>glNormal</function> can be called between a call to <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glBegin</refentrytitle></citerefentry> and
the corresponding call to <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glEnd</refentrytitle></citerefentry>.
