GLSCISSOR(3G)			 OpenGL Manual			 GLSCISSOR(3G)

NAME
       glScissor - define the scissor box

C SPECIFICATION
       void glScissor(GLint x, GLint y, GLsizei width, GLsizei height);

PARAMETERS
       x, y
	   Specify the lower left corner of the scissor box. Initially (0, 0).

       width, height
	   Specify the width and height of the scissor box. When a GL context
	   is first attached to a window, width and height are set to the
	   dimensions of that window.

DESCRIPTION
       glScissor defines a rectangle, called the scissor box, in window
       coordinates. The first two arguments, x and y, specify the lower left
       corner of the box.  width and height specify the width and height of
       the box.

       To enable and disable the scissor test, call glEnable() and glDisable()
       with argument GL_SCISSOR_TEST. The test is initially disabled. While
       the test is enabled, only pixels that lie within the scissor box can be
       modified by drawing commands. Window coordinates have integer values at
       the shared corners of frame buffer pixels.  glScissor(0,0,1,1) allows
       modification of only the lower left pixel in the window, and
       glScissor(0,0,0,0) doesn't allow modification of any pixels in the
       window.

       When the scissor test is disabled, it is as though the scissor box
       includes the entire window.

ERRORS
       GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated if either width or height is negative.

ASSOCIATED GETS
       glGet() with argument GL_SCISSOR_BOX

       glIsEnabled() with argument GL_SCISSOR_TEST
