Name
glFogf, glFogi, glFogfv, glFogiv — specify fog parameters
C Specification
void glFogf | ( | GLenum pname, GLfloat param); |
void glFogi | ( | GLenum pname, GLint param); |
Python Specification
glFogf | ( | pname, param) → None |
glFogi | ( | pname, param) → None |
Parameters
- pname
-
Specifies a single-valued fog parameter. GL_FOG_MODE,
GL_FOG_DENSITY, GL_FOG_START, GL_FOG_END,
and GL_FOG_INDEX are accepted.
- param
-
Specifies the value that pname will be set to.
C Specification
void glFogfv | ( | GLenum pname, const GLfloat *params); |
void glFogiv | ( | GLenum pname, const GLint *params); |
Python Specification
glFogfv | ( | pname, params) → None |
glFogiv | ( | pname, params) → None |
Parameters
- pname
-
Specifies a fog parameter. GL_FOG_MODE, GL_FOG_DENSITY,
GL_FOG_START, GL_FOG_END, GL_FOG_INDEX, and
GL_FOG_COLOR are accepted.
- params
-
Specifies the value or values to be assigned to pname.
GL_FOG_COLOR requires an array of four values. All other parameters accept an array
containing only a single value.
Description
Fog is initially disabled. While enabled, fog affects rasterized geometry, bitmaps, and pixel blocks, but not buffer
clear operations. To enable and disable fog, call glEnable and glDisable with argument GL_FOG.
glFog assigns the value or values in params to the fog
parameter specified by pname. The following values are accepted for
pname:
- GL_FOG_MODE
-
params is a single integer or floating-point value that specifies the equation to be
used to compute the fog blend factor,
f
. Three symbolic constants are accepted: GL_LINEAR,
GL_EXP, and GL_EXP2. The equations corresponding to these
symbolic constants are defined below. The initial fog mode is GL_EXP.
- GL_FOG_DENSITY
-
params is a single integer or floating-point value that specifies
density
, the fog density used in both exponential fog equations. Only nonnegative densities are
accepted. The initial fog density is 1.
- GL_FOG_START
-
params is a single integer or floating-point value that specifies
start
, the near distance used in the linear fog equation. The initial near distance is 0.
- GL_FOG_END
-
params is a single integer or floating-point value that specifies
end
, the far distance used in the linear fog equation. The initial far distance is 1.
- GL_FOG_INDEX
-
params is a single integer or floating-point value that specifies
i
f
, the fog color index. The initial fog index is 0.
- GL_FOG_COLOR
-
params contains four integer or floating-point values that specify
C
f
, the fog color. Integer values are mapped linearly such that the most positive
representable value maps to 1.0, and the most negative representable value maps to -1.0. Floating-point
values are mapped directly. After conversion, all color components are clamped to the range [0,1]. The
initial fog color is (0, 0, 0, 0).
Fog blends a fog color with each rasterized pixel fragment's posttexturing color using a blending factor
f
. Factor
f
is computed in one of three ways, depending on the fog mode. Let
z
be the distance in eye coordinates from the origin to the fragment being fogged. The equation for
GL_LINEAR fog is
f
=

Regardless of the fog mode,
f
is clamped to the range [0,1] after it is computed. Then, if the GL is in RGBA color mode, the
fragment's red, green, and blue colors, represented by
C
r
, are replaced by

Errors
GL_INVALID_ENUM is generated if pname is not an accepted value, or if
pname is GL_FOG_MODE and params is not an accepted
value.
GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated if pname is
GL_FOG_DENSITY, and params is negative.
GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if glFog is executed
between the execution of glBegin and the corresponding execution of glEnd.
