glColor

Name

glColor — set the current color

C Specification

`void fsfuncglColor4f(`	GLfloat `red`,
	GLfloat `green`,
	GLfloat `blue`,
	GLfloat `alpha)`;

`void fsfuncglColor4x(`	GLfixed `red`,
	GLfixed `green`,
	GLfixed `blue`,
	GLfixed `alpha)`;

`void fsfuncglColor4ub(`	GLubyte `red`,
	GLubyte `green`,
	GLubyte `blue`,
	GLubyte `alpha)`;

Parameters

red, green, blue, alpha: Specify new red, green, blue, and alpha values for the current color.

Description

glColor sets a new four-valued current RGBA color.

Current color values are stored in fixed-point or floating-point. In case the values are stored in floating-point, the mantissa and exponent sizes are unspecified.

Neither fixed-point nor floating-point values are clamped to the range [0, 1] before the current color is updated. However, color components are clamped to this range before they are interpolated or written into the color buffer.

Unsigned byte color components specified with glColor4ub are linearly mapped to floating-point values such that 255 maps to 1.0 (full intensity), and 0 maps to 0.0 (zero intensity).

Notes

The initial value for the current color is (1, 1, 1, 1).
