GLDEPTHMASK(3G)

🎀 NAME 🎀

okay so bestie, this is glDepthMask, from the 3G manual — the little function that enables or disables writing into the depth buffer. literally its whole main character job. 💅✨

💻 C SPECIFICATION 💻

void glDepthMask( GLboolean flag )

🦋 PARAMETERS 🦋

• flag — specifies whether the depth buffer is enabled for writing. If flag is GL_FALSE, depth buffer writing is disabled. Otherwise, it is enabled. And bestie, initially, depth buffer writing is enabled. 👑🫶

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

glDepthMask specifies whether the depth buffer is enabled for writing. If flag is GL_FALSE, depth buffer writing is disabled. Otherwise, it is enabled. Initially, depth buffer writing is enabled. that’s the vibe check, no cap — simple but iconic. 🌈💖

💀 ERRORS 💀

GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if glDepthMask is executed between the execution of glBegin and the corresponding execution of glEnd. so ngl, do not slide this call into a glBegin/glEnd block — that’s the forbidden sandwich, fr fr. 🥪🙈

🔍 ASSOCIATED GETS 🔍

the associated get is glGet with argument GL_DEPTH_WRITEMASK. 🫶
