The glEnable and glDisable functions enable or disable OpenGL capabilities.
Syntax
void WINAPI glEnable(
GLenum cap
);
Parameters
-
cap
-
A symbolic constant indicating an OpenGL capability.
For discussion of the values cap can take, see the following Remarks section.
Return value
This function does not return a value.
Error codes
The following error codes can be retrieved by the glGetError function.
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
|
cap was not one of the values listed in the preceding Remarks section. |
|
The function was called between a call to glBegin and the corresponding call to glEnd. |
Remarks
The glEnable and glDisable functions enable and disable various OpenGL graphics capabilities. Use glIsEnabled or glGet to determine the current setting of any capability.
Both glEnable and glDisable take a single argument, cap, which can assume one of the following values:
