NAME
glStencilOpSeparate - set front and/or back stencil test actions
C SPECIFICATION
void glStencilOpSeparate(GLenum face, GLenum sfail, GLenum dpfail, GLenum dppass);
PARAMETERS
face
Specifies whether front and/or back stencil state is updated. Three symbolic constants
are valid: GL_FRONT, GL_BACK, and GL_FRONT_AND_BACK.
sfail
Specifies the action to take when the stencil test fails. Eight symbolic constants are
accepted: GL_KEEP, GL_ZERO, GL_REPLACE, GL_INCR, GL_INCR_WRAP, GL_DECR, GL_DECR_WRAP,
and GL_INVERT. The initial value is GL_KEEP.
dpfail
Specifies the stencil action when the stencil test passes, but the depth test fails.
dpfail accepts the same symbolic constants as sfail. The initial value is GL_KEEP.
dppass
Specifies the stencil action when both the stencil test and the depth test pass, or
when the stencil test passes and either there is no depth buffer or depth testing is
not enabled. dppass accepts the same symbolic constants as sfail. The initial value
is GL_KEEP.
DESCRIPTION
Stenciling, like depth-buffering, enables and disables drawing on a per-pixel basis. You
draw into the stencil planes using GL drawing primitives, then render geometry and images,
using the stencil planes to mask out portions of the screen. Stenciling is typically used
in multipass rendering algorithms to achieve special effects, such as decals, outlining,
and constructive solid geometry rendering.
The stencil test conditionally eliminates a pixel based on the outcome of a comparison
between the value in the stencil buffer and a reference value. To enable and disable the
test, call glEnable() and glDisable() with argument GL_STENCIL_TEST; to control it, call
glStencilFunc() or glStencilFuncSeparate().
There can be two separate sets of sfail, dpfail, and dppass parameters; one affects
back-facing polygons, and the other affects front-facing polygons as well as other
non-polygon primitives. glStencilOp() sets both front and back stencil state to the same
values, as if glStencilOpSeparate() were called with face set to GL_FRONT_AND_BACK.
glStencilOpSeparate takes three arguments that indicate what happens to the stored stencil
value while stenciling is enabled. If the stencil test fails, no change is made to the
pixel's color or depth buffers, and sfail specifies what happens to the stencil buffer
contents. The following eight actions are possible.
GL_KEEP
Keeps the current value.
GL_ZERO
Sets the stencil buffer value to 0.
GL_REPLACE
Sets the stencil buffer value to ref, as specified by glStencilFunc().
GL_INCR
Increments the current stencil buffer value. Clamps to the maximum representable
unsigned value.
GL_INCR_WRAP
Increments the current stencil buffer value. Wraps stencil buffer value to zero when
incrementing the maximum representable unsigned value.
GL_DECR
Decrements the current stencil buffer value. Clamps to 0.
GL_DECR_WRAP
Decrements the current stencil buffer value. Wraps stencil buffer value to the maximum
representable unsigned value when decrementing a stencil buffer value of zero.
GL_INVERT
Bitwise inverts the current stencil buffer value.
Stencil buffer values are treated as unsigned integers. When incremented and decremented,
values are clamped to 0 and 2 n - 1, where n is the value returned by querying
GL_STENCIL_BITS.
The other two arguments to glStencilOpSeparate specify stencil buffer actions that depend
on whether subsequent depth buffer tests succeed (dppass) or fail (dpfail) (see
glDepthFunc()). The actions are specified using the same eight symbolic constants as
sfail. Note that dpfail is ignored when there is no depth buffer, or when the depth buffer
is not enabled. In these cases, sfail and dppass specify stencil action when the stencil
test fails and passes, respectively.
NOTES
Initially the stencil test is disabled. If there is no stencil buffer, no stencil
modification can occur and it is as if the stencil test always passes.
ERRORS
GL_INVALID_ENUM is generated if face is any value other than GL_FRONT, GL_BACK, or
GL_FRONT_AND_BACK.
GL_INVALID_ENUM is generated if sfail, dpfail, or dppass is any value other than the eight
defined constant values.
ASSOCIATED GETS
glGet() with argument GL_STENCIL_FAIL, GL_STENCIL_PASS_DEPTH_PASS,
GL_STENCIL_PASS_DEPTH_FAIL, GL_STENCIL_BACK_FAIL, GL_STENCIL_BACK_PASS_DEPTH_PASS,
GL_STENCIL_BACK_PASS_DEPTH_FAIL, or GL_STENCIL_BITS
glIsEnabled() with argument GL_STENCIL_TEST
