Only a subset of GL commands can be used between <function>glBegin</function> and <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glEnd</refentrytitle></citerefentry>.
|
|
The commands are
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>glVertex</refentrytitle></citerefentry>,
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>glColor</refentrytitle></citerefentry>,
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>glSecondaryColor</refentrytitle></citerefentry>,
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>glIndex</refentrytitle></citerefentry>,
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>glNormal</refentrytitle></citerefentry>,
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>glFogCoord</refentrytitle></citerefentry>,
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>glTexCoord</refentrytitle></citerefentry>,
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>glMultiTexCoord</refentrytitle></citerefentry>,
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>glVertexAttrib</refentrytitle></citerefentry>,
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>glEvalCoord</refentrytitle></citerefentry>,
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>glEvalPoint</refentrytitle></citerefentry>,
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>glArrayElement</refentrytitle></citerefentry>,
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>glMaterial</refentrytitle></citerefentry>, and
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>glEdgeFlag</refentrytitle></citerefentry>.
|
|
Also,
|
|
it is acceptable to use
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>glCallList</refentrytitle></citerefentry> or
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>glCallLists</refentrytitle></citerefentry> to execute
|
|
display lists that include only the preceding commands.
|
|
If any other GL command is executed between <function>glBegin</function> and <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glEnd</refentrytitle></citerefentry>,
|
|
the error flag is set and the command is ignored.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Regardless of the value chosen for <parameter>mode</parameter>,
|
|
there is no limit to the number of vertices that can be defined
|
|
between <function>glBegin</function> and <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glEnd</refentrytitle></citerefentry>.
|
|
Lines,
|
|
triangles,
|
|
quadrilaterals,
|
|
and polygons that are incompletely specified are not drawn.
|
|
Incomplete specification results when either too few vertices are
|
|
provided to specify even a single primitive or when an incorrect multiple
|
|
of vertices is specified. The incomplete primitive is ignored; the rest are drawn.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
The minimum specification of vertices
|
|
for each primitive is as follows:
|
|
1 for a point,
|
|
2 for a line,
|
|
3 for a triangle,
|
|
4 for a quadrilateral,
|
|
and 3 for a polygon.
|
|
Modes that require a certain multiple of vertices are
|
|
<constant>GL_LINES</constant> (2),
|
|
<constant>GL_TRIANGLES</constant> (3),
|
|
<constant>GL_QUADS</constant> (4),
|
|
and <constant>GL_QUAD_STRIP</constant> (2).
