🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so this page is glClearColor, manual section 3G — and the header’s manual slot is literally [FIXME: manual], iconic in a cursed way 💀.

  • glClearColor — specify clear values for the color buffers. That’s the whole name-line vibe, bestie.

💻 C SPECIFICATION 💻

Here’s the signature, exactly as it appears, no edits, no “improvements”:

void glClearColor(GLfloat red, GLfloat green, GLfloat blue,
                  GLfloat alpha);

🎀 PARAMETERS 🎀

  • red, green, blue, alpha — the red, green, blue, and alpha values used when the color buffers get cleared. Their initial values are all 0. Yes, all four start at zero, cute.

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

glClearColor says “these are the red, green, blue, and alpha values” and glClear() uses them to clear the color buffers. The values you specify get clamped to the range 0 1 — so if you try to be extra, the clamp says “no ma’am” 💅.

🧠 NOTES 🧠

Plot twist: the types of red, green, blue, and alpha changed from GLclampf to GLfloat. This change is transparent to user code, and it’s described in detail on the removedTypes() page. So your code doesn’t need to panic, fr fr 🫶.

🔎 ASSOCIATED GETS 🔎

  • glGet() with argument GL_COLOR_CLEAR_VALUE — that’s the associated get, periodt.
