glFogf, glFogi, glFogfv, glFogiv

[New - Windows 95, OEM Service Release 2]

These functions specify fog parameters.

void glFogf(

    GLenum pname,

 

    GLfloat param

 

   );

 

 

void glFogi(

    GLenum pname,

 

    GLint param

 

   );

 

 

void glFogfv(

    GLenum pname,

 

    const GLfloat * params

 

   );

 

 

void glFogiv(

    GLenum pname,

 

    const GLint * params

 

   );

 

 

Parameters

pname

In glFogf and glFogi, specifies a single-valued fog parameter.

In glFogfv and glFogiv, specifies a fog parameter.

The glFogf, glFogi, glFogfv, and glFogiv functions accept the following values:

GL_FOG_MODE

The params parameter 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 in the following Remarks section. The default fog mode is GL_EXP.

GL_FOG_DENSITY

The params parameter 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 default fog density is 1.0.

GL_FOG_START

The params parameter is a single integer or floating-point value that specifies start, the near distance used in the linear fog equation. The default near distance is 0.0.

GL_FOG_END

The params parameter is a single integer or floating-point value that specifies end, the far distance used in the linear fog equation. The default far distance is 1.0.

GL_FOG_INDEX

The params parameter is a single integer or floating-point value that specifies i (f) , the fog color index. The default fog index is 0.0.

The glFogfv and glFogiv functions also accept GL_FOG_COLOR:

GL_FOG_COLOR

The params parameter 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 default fog color is (0,0,0,0).

param

In glFogf and glFogi, specifies the value that pname will be set to.

params

In glFogfv and glFogiv, 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.

 

Remarks

You enable and disable fog with glEnable194O61P and glDisable194O61P, using the argument GL_FOG. While enabled, fog affects rasterized geometry, bitmaps, and pixel blocks, but not buffer-clear operations.

The glFog function assigns the value or values in params to the fog parameter specified by pname.

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:

{bml bm20.BMP}

The equation for GL_EXP fog is:

{bml bm21.BMP}

The equation for GL_EXP2 fog is:

{bml bm22.BMP}

Regardless of the fog mode, f is clamped to the range [0,1] after it is computed. Then, if OpenGL is in RGBA color mode, the fragment s color C (r)  is replaced by

{bml bm23.BMP}

In color-index mode, the fragment s color index i (r)  is replaced by

{bml bm24.BMP}

The following functions retrieve information related to the glFog functions:

glGet8KNKTW with argument GL_FOG_COLOR

glGet with argument GL_FOG_INDEX

glGet with argument GL_FOG_DENSITY

glGet with argument GL_FOG_START

glGet with argument GL_FOG_END

glGet with argument GL_FOG_MODE

glIsEnabled1MZ_ZK. with argument GL_FOG
