pname
Specifies the parameter value to be returned. The symbolic constants in the list below are accepted.
target
Specifies the parameter value to be returned for indexed versions of glGet
. The symbolic constants in the list below are accepted.
index
Specifies the index of the particular element being queried.
data
Returns the value or values of the specified parameter.
These commands return values for simple state variables in GL. pname
is a symbolic constant indicating the state variable to be returned, and params
is a pointer to an array of the indicated type in which to place the returned data.
Type conversion is performed if params
has a different type than the state variable value being requested. If glGetBooleanv
is called, a floating-point (or integer) value is converted to GL_FALSE
if and only if it is 0.0 (or 0). Otherwise, it is converted to GL_TRUE
. If glGetIntegerv
is called, boolean values are returned as GL_TRUE
or GL_FALSE
, and most floating-point values are rounded to the nearest integer value. Floating-point colors and normals, however, are returned with a linear mapping that maps 1.0 to the most positive representable integer value and to the most negative representable integer value. If glGetFloatv
is called, boolean values are returned as GL_TRUE
or GL_FALSE
, and integer values are converted to floating-point values.
