GLint y,
GLsizei width,
GLsizei height )
PARAMETERS
x, y Specify the lower left corner of the scissor box. Initially (0,
0).
width, height
Specify the width and height of the scissor box. When a GL context
is first attached to a window, width and height are set to the di‐
mensions of that window.
DESCRIPTION
glScissor defines a rectangle, called the scissor box, in window coordi‐
nates. The first two arguments, x and y, specify the lower left corner
of the box. width and height specify the width and height of the box.
To enable and disable the scissor test, call glEnable and glDisable with
argument GL_SCISSOR_TEST. The test is initially disabled. While the
test is enabled, only pixels that lie within the scissor box can be mod‐
ified by drawing commands. Window coordinates have integer values at
the shared corners of frame buffer pixels. glScissor(0,0,1,1) allows
modification of only the lower left pixel in the window, and glScis‐
sor(0,0,0,0) doesn't allow modification of any pixels in the window.
When the scissor test is disabled, it is as though the scissor box in‐
cludes the entire window.
ERRORS
GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated if either width or height is negative.
GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if glScissor is executed between the
execution of glBegin and the corresponding execution of glEnd.
