GLRESETMINMAX(3G)

📦 version 1.1, in centos-stream 9, fedora 43, fedora 44

✨ NAME ✨

glResetMinmax — reset minmax table entries to initial values 💖

okay so bestie, this one is short and sweet, it's the "undo button" of the minmax world, no cap.

🎀 C SPECIFICATION 🎀

void glResetMinmax( GLenum target )

🌸 PARAMETERS 🌸

  • target — has exactly one valid value and it's GL_MINMAX. That's it. That's the whole vibe check. Anything else and it's giving error energy (see ERRORS below, we'll get there 🫶).

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

glResetMinmax resets the elements of the current minmax table back to their initial values. Fresh out the box. Factory settings. Periodt. 💅

And here's the iconic little plot twist, the part that lowkey looks like a typo but fr fr is not:

  • the "maximum" element receives the minimum possible component values 😭
  • the "minimum" element receives the maximum possible component values 😭

yes babe, it's flipped like that on purpose, that's the reset state, that's how you know the table hasn't been touched yet. the way that a "max" slot holding the smallest possible values is literally the correct starting point… obsessed. 👑

🌈 NOTES 🌈

glResetMinmax is present only if GL_ARB_imaging is returned when glGetString is called with an argument of GL_EXTENSIONS.

translation: check that your implementation actually ships the imaging extension before you go calling this, otherwise it's just not there. iykyk 🔥

💀 ERRORS 💀

  • GL_INVALID_ENUM is generated if target is not GL_MINMAX. 🚫
  • GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if glResetMinmax is executed between the execution of glBegin and the corresponding execution of glEnd. not me trying to reset the minmax table mid-glBegin… girl NO. wait until you're outside that pair, okay? 🙈
