The accumulation buffer is an extended-range color buffer. Images are not rendered into it. Rather, images rendered into one of the color buffers are added to the contents of the accumulation buffer after rendering. Effects such as antialiasing (of points, lines, and polygons), motion blur, and depth of field can be created by accumulating images generated with different transformation matrices.

gl:activeShaderProgram/2 sets the linked program named by Program to be the active program for the program pipeline object Pipeline. The active program in the active program pipeline object is the target of calls to gl:uniform() when no program has been made current through a call to gl:useProgram/1.

External documentation.

gl:activeTexture/1 selects which texture unit subsequent texture state calls will affect. The number of texture units an implementation supports is implementation dependent, but must be at least 80.

External documentation.

The alpha test discards fragments depending on the outcome of a comparison between an incoming fragment's alpha value and a constant reference value. gl:alphaFunc/2 specifies the reference value and the comparison function. The comparison is performed only if alpha testing is enabled. By default, it is not enabled. (See gl:enable/1 and gl:disable/1 of ?GL_ALPHA_TEST.)

External documentation.

GL establishes a ``working set'' of textures that are resident in texture memory. These textures can be bound to a texture target much more efficiently than textures that are not resident.

External documentation.

gl:arrayElement/1 commands are used within gl:'begin'/1/gl:'end'/0 pairs to specify vertex and attribute data for point, line, and polygon primitives. If ?GL_VERTEX_ARRAY is enabled when gl:arrayElement/1 is called, a single vertex is drawn, using vertex and attribute data taken from location I of the enabled arrays. If ?GL_VERTEX_ARRAY is not enabled, no drawing occurs but the attributes corresponding to the enabled arrays are modified.

External documentation.

In order to create a complete shader program, there must be a way to specify the list of things that will be linked together. Program objects provide this mechanism. Shaders that are to be linked together in a program object must first be attached to that program object. gl:attachShader/2 attaches the shader object specified by Shader to the program object specified by Program. This indicates that Shader will be included in link operations that will be performed on Program.

External documentation.

gl:'begin'/1 and gl:'end'/0 delimit the vertices that define a primitive or a group of like primitives. gl:'begin'/1 accepts a single argument that specifies in which of ten ways the vertices are interpreted. Taking n as an integer count starting at one, and N as the total number of vertices specified, the interpretations are as follows:

External documentation.

Conditional rendering is started using gl:beginConditionalRender/2 and ended using gl:endConditionalRender/0. During conditional rendering, all vertex array commands, as well as gl:clear/1 and gl:clearBuffer() have no effect if the (?GL_SAMPLES_PASSED) result of the query object Id is zero, or if the (?GL_ANY_SAMPLES_PASSED) result is ?GL_FALSE. The results of commands setting the current vertex state, such as gl:vertexAttrib() are undefined. If the (?GL_SAMPLES_PASSED) result is non-zero or if the (?GL_ANY_SAMPLES_PASSED) result is ?GL_TRUE, such commands are not discarded. The Id parameter to gl:beginConditionalRender/2 must be the name of a query object previously returned from a call to gl:genQueries/1. Mode specifies how the results of the query object are to be interpreted. If Mode is ?GL_QUERY_WAIT, the GL waits for the results of the query to be available and then uses the results to determine if subsequent rendering commands are discarded. If Mode is ?GL_QUERY_NO_WAIT, the GL may choose to unconditionally execute the subsequent rendering commands without waiting for the query to complete.

External documentation.

gl:beginQuery/2 and gl:endQuery/1 delimit the boundaries of a query object. Query must be a name previously returned from a call to gl:genQueries/1. If a query object with name Id does not yet exist it is created with the type determined by Target. Target must be one of ?GL_SAMPLES_PASSED, ?GL_ANY_SAMPLES_PASSED, ?GL_PRIMITIVES_GENERATED, ?GL_TRANSFORM_FEEDBACK_PRIMITIVES_WRITTEN, or ?GL_TIME_ELAPSED. The behavior of the query object depends on its type and is as follows.

External documentation.

gl:beginQueryIndexed/3 and gl:endQueryIndexed/2 delimit the boundaries of a query object. Query must be a name previously returned from a call to gl:genQueries/1. If a query object with name Id does not yet exist it is created with the type determined by Target. Target must be one of ?GL_SAMPLES_PASSED, ?GL_ANY_SAMPLES_PASSED, ?GL_PRIMITIVES_GENERATED, ?GL_TRANSFORM_FEEDBACK_PRIMITIVES_WRITTEN, or ?GL_TIME_ELAPSED. The behavior of the query object depends on its type and is as follows.

External documentation.

Transform feedback mode captures the values of varying variables written by the vertex shader (or, if active, the geometry shader). Transform feedback is said to be active after a call to gl:beginTransformFeedback/1 until a subsequent call to gl:endTransformFeedback/0. Transform feedback commands must be paired.

External documentation.

gl:bindAttribLocation/3 is used to associate a user-defined attribute variable in the program object specified by Program with a generic vertex attribute index. The name of the user-defined attribute variable is passed as a null terminated string in Name. The generic vertex attribute index to be bound to this variable is specified by Index. When Program is made part of current state, values provided via the generic vertex attribute Index will modify the value of the user-defined attribute variable specified by Name.

External documentation.

gl:bindBuffer/2 binds a buffer object to the specified buffer binding point. Calling gl:bindBuffer/2 with Target set to one of the accepted symbolic constants and Buffer set to the name of a buffer object binds that buffer object name to the target. If no buffer object with name Buffer exists, one is created with that name. When a buffer object is bound to a target, the previous binding for that target is automatically broken.

External documentation.

gl:bindBufferBase/3 binds the buffer object Buffer to the binding point at index Index of the array of targets specified by Target. Each Target represents an indexed array of buffer binding points, as well as a single general binding point that can be used by other buffer manipulation functions such as gl:bindBuffer/2 or glMapBuffer. In addition to binding Buffer to the indexed buffer binding target, gl:bindBufferBase/3 also binds Buffer to the generic buffer binding point specified by Target.

External documentation.

gl:bindBufferRange/5 binds a range the buffer object Buffer represented by Offset and Size to the binding point at index Index of the array of targets specified by Target. Each Target represents an indexed array of buffer binding points, as well as a single general binding point that can be used by other buffer manipulation functions such as gl:bindBuffer/2 or glMapBuffer. In addition to binding a range of Buffer to the indexed buffer binding target, gl:bindBufferRange/5 also binds the range to the generic buffer binding point specified by Target.

External documentation.

gl:bindBuffersBase/3 binds a set of Count buffer objects whose names are given in the array Buffers to the Count consecutive binding points starting from index First of the array of targets specified by Target. If Buffers is ?NULL then gl:bindBuffersBase/3 unbinds any buffers that are currently bound to the referenced binding points. Assuming no errors are generated, it is equivalent to the following pseudo-code, which calls gl:bindBufferBase/3, with the exception that the non-indexed Target is not changed by gl:bindBuffersBase/3:

External documentation.

gl:bindBuffersRange/5 binds a set of Count ranges from buffer objects whose names are given in the array Buffers to the Count consecutive binding points starting from index First of the array of targets specified by Target. Offsets specifies the address of an array containing Count starting offsets within the buffers, and Sizes specifies the address of an array of Count sizes of the ranges. If Buffers is ?NULL then Offsets and Sizes are ignored and gl:bindBuffersRange/5 unbinds any buffers that are currently bound to the referenced binding points. Assuming no errors are generated, it is equivalent to the following pseudo-code, which calls gl:bindBufferRange/5, with the exception that the non-indexed Target is not changed by gl:bindBuffersRange/5:

External documentation.

gl:bindFragDataLocation/3 explicitly specifies the binding of the user-defined varying out variable Name to fragment shader color number ColorNumber for program Program. If Name was bound previously, its assigned binding is replaced with ColorNumber. Name must be a null-terminated string. ColorNumber must be less than ?GL_MAX_DRAW_BUFFERS.

External documentation.

gl:bindFragDataLocationIndexed/4 specifies that the varying out variable Name in Program should be bound to fragment color ColorNumber when the program is next linked. Index may be zero or one to specify that the color be used as either the first or second color input to the blend equation, respectively.

External documentation.

gl:bindFramebuffer/2 binds the framebuffer object with name Framebuffer to the framebuffer target specified by Target. Target must be either ?GL_DRAW_FRAMEBUFFER, ?GL_READ_FRAMEBUFFER or ?GL_FRAMEBUFFER. If a framebuffer object is bound to ?GL_DRAW_FRAMEBUFFER or ?GL_READ_FRAMEBUFFER, it becomes the target for rendering or readback operations, respectively, until it is deleted or another framebuffer is bound to the corresponding bind point. Calling gl:bindFramebuffer/2 with Target set to ?GL_FRAMEBUFFER binds Framebuffer to both the read and draw framebuffer targets. Framebuffer is the name of a framebuffer object previously returned from a call to gl:genFramebuffers/1, or zero to break the existing binding of a framebuffer object to Target.

External documentation.

gl:bindImageTexture/7 binds a single level of a texture to an image unit for the purpose of reading and writing it from shaders. Unit specifies the zero-based index of the image unit to which to bind the texture level. Texture specifies the name of an existing texture object to bind to the image unit. If Texture is zero, then any existing binding to the image unit is broken. Level specifies the level of the texture to bind to the image unit.

External documentation.

gl:bindImageTextures/2 binds images from an array of existing texture objects to a specified number of consecutive image units. Count specifies the number of texture objects whose names are stored in the array Textures. That number of texture names are read from the array and bound to the Count consecutive texture units starting from First. If the name zero appears in the Textures array, any existing binding to the image unit is reset. Any non-zero entry in Textures must be the name of an existing texture object. When a non-zero entry in Textures is present, the image at level zero is bound, the binding is considered layered, with the first layer set to zero, and the image is bound for read-write access. The image unit format parameter is taken from the internal format of the image at level zero of the texture object. For cube map textures, the internal format of the positive X image of level zero is used. If Textures is ?NULL then it is as if an appropriately sized array containing only zeros had been specified.

External documentation.

gl:bindProgramPipeline/1 binds a program pipeline object to the current context. Pipeline must be a name previously returned from a call to gl:genProgramPipelines/1. If no program pipeline exists with name Pipeline then a new pipeline object is created with that name and initialized to the default state vector.

External documentation.

gl:bindRenderbuffer/2 binds the renderbuffer object with name Renderbuffer to the renderbuffer target specified by Target. Target must be ?GL_RENDERBUFFER. Renderbuffer is the name of a renderbuffer object previously returned from a call to gl:genRenderbuffers/1, or zero to break the existing binding of a renderbuffer object to Target.

External documentation.

gl:bindSampler/2 binds Sampler to the texture unit at index Unit. Sampler must be zero or the name of a sampler object previously returned from a call to gl:genSamplers/1. Unit must be less than the value of ?GL_MAX_COMBINED_TEXTURE_IMAGE_UNITS.

External documentation.

gl:bindSamplers/2 binds samplers from an array of existing sampler objects to a specified number of consecutive sampler units. Count specifies the number of sampler objects whose names are stored in the array Samplers. That number of sampler names is read from the array and bound to the Count consecutive sampler units starting from First.

External documentation.

gl:bindTexture/2 lets you create or use a named texture. Calling gl:bindTexture/2 with Target set to ?GL_TEXTURE_1D, ?GL_TEXTURE_2D, ?GL_TEXTURE_3D, ?GL_TEXTURE_1D_ARRAY, ?GL_TEXTURE_2D_ARRAY, ?GL_TEXTURE_RECTANGLE, ?GL_TEXTURE_CUBE_MAP, ?GL_TEXTURE_CUBE_MAP_ARRAY, ?GL_TEXTURE_BUFFER, ?GL_TEXTURE_2D_MULTISAMPLE or ?GL_TEXTURE_2D_MULTISAMPLE_ARRAY and Texture set to the name of the new texture binds the texture name to the target. When a texture is bound to a target, the previous binding for that target is automatically broken.

External documentation.

gl:bindTextureUnit/2 binds an existing texture object to the texture unit numbered Unit.

External documentation.

gl:bindTextures/2 binds an array of existing texture objects to a specified number of consecutive texture units. Count specifies the number of texture objects whose names are stored in the array Textures. That number of texture names are read from the array and bound to the Count consecutive texture units starting from First. The target, or type of texture is deduced from the texture object and each texture is bound to the corresponding target of the texture unit. If the name zero appears in the Textures array, any existing binding to any target of the texture unit is reset and the default texture for that target is bound in its place. Any non-zero entry in Textures must be the name of an existing texture object. If Textures is ?NULL then it is as if an appropriately sized array containing only zeros had been specified.

External documentation.

gl:bindTransformFeedback/2 binds the transform feedback object with name Id to the current GL state. Id must be a name previously returned from a call to gl:genTransformFeedbacks/1. If Id has not previously been bound, a new transform feedback object with name Id and initialized with the default transform state vector is created.

External documentation.

gl:bindVertexArray/1 binds the vertex array object with name Array. Array is the name of a vertex array object previously returned from a call to gl:genVertexArrays/1, or zero to break the existing vertex array object binding.

External documentation.

gl:bindVertexBuffer/4 and gl:vertexArrayVertexBuffer/5 bind the buffer named Buffer to the vertex buffer binding point whose index is given by Bindingindex. gl:bindVertexBuffer/4 modifies the binding of the currently bound vertex array object, whereas gl:vertexArrayVertexBuffer/5 allows the caller to specify ID of the vertex array object with an argument named Vaobj, for which the binding should be modified. Offset and Stride specify the offset of the first element within the buffer and the distance between elements within the buffer, respectively, and are both measured in basic machine units. Bindingindex must be less than the value of ?GL_MAX_VERTEX_ATTRIB_BINDINGS. Offset and Stride must be greater than or equal to zero. If Buffer is zero, then any buffer currently bound to the specified binding point is unbound.

External documentation.

gl:bindVertexBuffers/4 and gl:vertexArrayVertexBuffers/5 bind storage from an array of existing buffer objects to a specified number of consecutive vertex buffer binding points units in a vertex array object. For gl:bindVertexBuffers/4, the vertex array object is the currently bound vertex array object. For gl:vertexArrayVertexBuffers/5, Vaobj is the name of the vertex array object.

External documentation.

A bitmap is a binary image. When drawn, the bitmap is positioned relative to the current raster position, and frame buffer pixels corresponding to 1's in the bitmap are written using the current raster color or index. Frame buffer pixels corresponding to 0's in the bitmap are not modified.

External documentation.

The ?GL_BLEND_COLOR may be used to calculate the source and destination blending factors. The color components are clamped to the range [0 1] before being stored. See gl:blendFunc/2 for a complete description of the blending operations. Initially the ?GL_BLEND_COLOR is set to (0, 0, 0, 0).

External documentation.

The blend equations determine how a new pixel (the ''source'' color) is combined with a pixel already in the framebuffer (the ''destination'' color). This function sets both the RGB blend equation and the alpha blend equation to a single equation. gl:blendEquationi/2 specifies the blend equation for a single draw buffer whereas gl:blendEquation/1 sets the blend equation for all draw buffers.

External documentation.

The blend equations determines how a new pixel (the ''source'' color) is combined with a pixel already in the framebuffer (the ''destination'' color). These functions specify one blend equation for the RGB-color components and one blend equation for the alpha component. gl:blendEquationSeparatei/3 specifies the blend equations for a single draw buffer whereas gl:blendEquationSeparate/2 sets the blend equations for all draw buffers.

External documentation.

Pixels can be drawn using a function that blends the incoming (source) RGBA values with the RGBA values that are already in the frame buffer (the destination values). Blending is initially disabled. Use gl:enable/1 and gl:disable/1 with argument ?GL_BLEND to enable and disable blending.

gl:blitFramebuffer/10 and glBlitNamedFramebuffer transfer a rectangle of pixel values from one region of a read framebuffer to another region of a draw framebuffer.

External documentation.

gl:bufferData/4 and glNamedBufferData create a new data store for a buffer object. In case of gl:bufferData/4, the buffer object currently bound to Target is used. For glNamedBufferData, a buffer object associated with ID specified by the caller in Buffer will be used instead.

External documentation.

gl:bufferStorage/4 and glNamedBufferStorage create a new immutable data store. For gl:bufferStorage/4, the buffer object currently bound to Target will be initialized. For glNamedBufferStorage, Buffer is the name of the buffer object that will be configured. The size of the data store is specified by Size. If an initial data is available, its address may be supplied in Data. Otherwise, to create an uninitialized data store, Data should be ?NULL.

External documentation.

gl:bufferSubData/4 and glNamedBufferSubData redefine some or all of the data store for the specified buffer object. Data starting at byte offset Offset and extending for Size bytes is copied to the data store from the memory pointed to by Data. Offset and Size must define a range lying entirely within the buffer object's data store.

External documentation.

gl:callList/1 causes the named display list to be executed. The commands saved in the display list are executed in order, just as if they were called without using a display list. If List has not been defined as a display list, gl:callList/1 is ignored.

External documentation.

gl:callLists/1 causes each display list in the list of names passed as Lists to be executed. As a result, the commands saved in each display list are executed in order, just as if they were called without using a display list. Names of display lists that have not been defined are ignored.

External documentation.

gl:checkFramebufferStatus/1 and glCheckNamedFramebufferStatus return the completeness status of a framebuffer object when treated as a read or draw framebuffer, depending on the value of Target.

External documentation.

gl:clampColor/2 controls color clamping that is performed during gl:readPixels/7. Target must be ?GL_CLAMP_READ_COLOR. If Clamp is ?GL_TRUE, read color clamping is enabled; if Clamp is ?GL_FALSE, read color clamping is disabled. If Clamp is ?GL_FIXED_ONLY, read color clamping is enabled only if the selected read buffer has fixed point components and disabled otherwise.

External documentation.

gl:clear/1 sets the bitplane area of the window to values previously selected by gl:clearColor/4, gl:clearDepth/1, and gl:clearStencil/1. Multiple color buffers can be cleared simultaneously by selecting more than one buffer at a time using gl:drawBuffer/1.

External documentation.

gl:clearAccum/4 specifies the red, green, blue, and alpha values used by gl:clear/1 to clear the accumulation buffer.

External documentation.

These commands clear a specified buffer of a framebuffer to specified value(s). For gl:clearBuffer*(), the framebuffer is the currently bound draw framebuffer object. For glClearNamedFramebuffer*, Framebuffer is zero, indicating the default draw framebuffer, or the name of a framebuffer object.

External documentation.

gl:clearColor/4 specifies the red, green, blue, and alpha values used by gl:clear/1 to clear the color buffers. Values specified by gl:clearColor/4 are clamped to the range [0 1].

External documentation.

gl:clearDepth/1 specifies the depth value used by gl:clear/1 to clear the depth buffer. Values specified by gl:clearDepth/1 are clamped to the range [0 1].

External documentation.

gl:clearIndex/1 specifies the index used by gl:clear/1 to clear the color index buffers. C is not clamped. Rather, C is converted to a fixed-point value with unspecified precision to the right of the binary point. The integer part of this value is then masked with 2 m-1, where m is the number of bits in a color index stored in the frame buffer.

External documentation.

gl:clearStencil/1 specifies the index used by gl:clear/1 to clear the stencil buffer. S is masked with 2 m-1, where m is the number of bits in the stencil buffer.

gl:clientActiveTexture/1 selects the vertex array client state parameters to be modified by gl:texCoordPointer/4, and enabled or disabled with gl:enableClientState/1 or gl:disableClientState/1, respectively, when called with a parameter of ?GL_TEXTURE_COORD_ARRAY.

External documentation.

gl:clientWaitSync/3 causes the client to block and wait for the sync object specified by Sync to become signaled. If Sync is signaled when gl:clientWaitSync/3 is called, gl:clientWaitSync/3 returns immediately, otherwise it will block and wait for up to Timeout nanoseconds for Sync to become signaled.

External documentation.

gl:clipControl/2 controls the clipping volume behavior and the clip coordinate to window coordinate transformation behavior.

External documentation.

Geometry is always clipped against the boundaries of a six-plane frustum in x, y, and z. gl:clipPlane/2 allows the specification of additional planes, not necessarily perpendicular to the x, y, or z axis, against which all geometry is clipped. To determine the maximum number of additional clipping planes, call gl:getIntegerv/1 with argument ?GL_MAX_CLIP_PLANES. All implementations support at least six such clipping planes. Because the resulting clipping region is the intersection of the defined half-spaces, it is always convex.

External documentation.

The GL stores both a current single-valued color index and a current four-valued RGBA color. gl:color() sets a new four-valued RGBA color. gl:color() has two major variants: gl:color3() and gl:color4(). gl:color3() variants specify new red, green, and blue values explicitly and set the current alpha value to 1.0 (full intensity) implicitly. gl:color4() variants specify all four color components explicitly.

External documentation.

gl:colorMask/4 and gl:colorMaski/5 specify whether the individual color components in the frame buffer can or cannot be written. gl:colorMaski/5 sets the mask for a specific draw buffer, whereas gl:colorMask/4 sets the mask for all draw buffers. If Red is ?GL_FALSE, for example, no change is made to the red component of any pixel in any of the color buffers, regardless of the drawing operation attempted.

External documentation.

gl:colorMaterial/2 specifies which material parameters track the current color. When ?GL_COLOR_MATERIAL is enabled, the material parameter or parameters specified by Mode, of the material or materials specified by Face, track the current color at all times.

External documentation.

gl:colorPointer/4 specifies the location and data format of an array of color components to use when rendering. Size specifies the number of components per color, and must be 3 or 4. Type specifies the data type of each color component, and Stride specifies the byte stride from one color to the next, allowing vertices and attributes to be packed into a single array or stored in separate arrays. (Single-array storage may be more efficient on some implementations; see gl:interleavedArrays/3.)

External documentation.

gl:colorSubTable/6 is used to respecify a contiguous portion of a color table previously defined using gl:colorTable/6. The pixels referenced by Data replace the portion of the existing table from indices Start to start+count-1, inclusive. This region may not include any entries outside the range of the color table as it was originally specified. It is not an error to specify a subtexture with width of 0, but such a specification has no effect.

External documentation.

gl:colorTable/6 may be used in two ways: to test the actual size and color resolution of a lookup table given a particular set of parameters, or to load the contents of a color lookup table. Use the targets ?GL_PROXY_* for the first case and the other targets for the second case.

External documentation.

gl:colorTableParameter() is used to specify the scale factors and bias terms applied to color components when they are loaded into a color table. Target indicates which color table the scale and bias terms apply to; it must be set to ?GL_COLOR_TABLE, ?GL_POST_CONVOLUTION_COLOR_TABLE, or ?GL_POST_COLOR_MATRIX_COLOR_TABLE.

gl:copyImageSubData/15 may be used to copy data from one image (i.e. texture or renderbuffer) to another. gl:copyImageSubData/15 does not perform general-purpose conversions such as scaling, resizing, blending, color-space, or format conversions. It should be considered to operate in a manner similar to a CPU memcpy. CopyImageSubData can copy between images with different internal formats, provided the formats are compatible.

gl:copyPixels/5 copies a screen-aligned rectangle of pixels from the specified frame buffer location to a region relative to the current raster position. Its operation is well defined only if the entire pixel source region is within the exposed portion of the window.

gl:createProgram/0 creates an empty program object and returns a non-zero value by which it can be referenced. A program object is an object to which shader objects can be attached. This provides a mechanism to specify the shader objects that will be linked to create a program. It also provides a means for checking the compatibility of the shaders that will be used to create a program (for instance, checking the compatibility between a vertex shader and a fragment shader). When no longer needed as part of a program object, shader objects can be detached.

gl:deleteBuffers/1 deletes N buffer objects named by the elements of the array Buffers. After a buffer object is deleted, it has no contents, and its name is free for reuse (for example by gl:genBuffers/1). If a buffer object that is currently bound is deleted, the binding reverts to 0 (the absence of any buffer object).

External documentation.

gl:deleteFramebuffers/1 deletes the N framebuffer objects whose names are stored in the array addressed by Framebuffers. The name zero is reserved by the GL and is silently ignored, should it occur in Framebuffers, as are other unused names. Once a framebuffer object is deleted, its name is again unused and it has no attachments. If a framebuffer that is currently bound to one or more of the targets ?GL_DRAW_FRAMEBUFFER or ?GL_READ_FRAMEBUFFER is deleted, it is as though gl:bindFramebuffer/2 had been executed with the corresponding Target and Framebuffer zero.

External documentation.

gl:deleteLists/2 causes a contiguous group of display lists to be deleted. List is the name of the first display list to be deleted, and Range is the number of display lists to delete. All display lists d with list<= d<= list+range-1 are deleted.

gl:deleteSync/1 deletes the sync object specified by Sync. If the fence command corresponding to the specified sync object has completed, or if no gl:waitSync/3 or gl:clientWaitSync/3 commands are blocking on Sync, the object is deleted immediately. Otherwise, Sync is flagged for deletion and will be deleted when it is no longer associated with any fence command and is no longer blocking any gl:waitSync/3 or gl:clientWaitSync/3 command. In either case, after gl:deleteSync/1 returns, the name Sync is invalid and can no longer be used to refer to the sync object.

External documentation.

gl:deleteTextures/1 deletes N textures named by the elements of the array Textures. After a texture is deleted, it has no contents or dimensionality, and its name is free for reuse (for example by gl:genTextures/1).

After clipping and division by w, depth coordinates range from -1 to 1, corresponding to the near and far clipping planes. gl:depthRange/2 specifies a linear mapping of the normalized depth coordinates in this range to window depth coordinates. Regardless of the actual depth buffer implementation, window coordinate depth values are treated as though they range from 0 through 1 (like color components). Thus, the values accepted by gl:depthRange/2 are both clamped to this range before they are accepted.
