NAME

glPushClientAttrib, glPopClientAttrib − push and pop the client attribute stack

C SPECIFICATION

void glPushClientAttrib( GLbitfield mask); 1.1 )

PARAMETERS

1.1

Specifies a mask that indicates which attributes to save. Values for 1.1 are listed below.

C SPECIFICATION

void glPopClientAttrib( void); 1.1 )

DESCRIPTION

glPushClientAttrib takes one argument, a mask that indicates which groups of client-state variables to save on the client attribute stack. Symbolic constants are used to set bits in the mask. 1.1 is typically constructed by OR’ing several of these constants together. The special mask GL_CLIENT_ALL_ATTRIB_BITS can be used to save all stackable client state.

The symbolic mask constants and their associated GL client state are as follows (the second column lists which attributes are saved):

GL_CLIENT_PIXEL_STORE_BIT Pixel storage modes
GL_CLIENT_VERTEX_ARRAY_BIT Vertex arrays (and enables)

glPopClientAttrib restores the values of the client-state variables saved with the last glPushClientAttrib. Those not saved are left unchanged.

It is an error to push attributes onto a full client attribute stack, or to pop attributes off an empty stack. In either case, the error flag is set, and no other change is made to GL state.

Initially, the client attribute stack is empty.

NOTES

glPushClientAttrib is available only if the GL version is 1.1 or greater.

Not all values for GL client state can be saved on the attribute stack. For example, select and feedback state cannot be saved.

The depth of the attribute stack depends on the implementation, but it must be at least 16.

Use glPushAttrib and glPopAttrib to push and restore state which is kept on the server. Only pixel storage modes and vertex array state may be pushed and popped with glPushClientAttrib and glPopClientAttrib.

When the GL_ARB_multitexture extension is supported, pushing and popping client vertex array state apples to all supported texture units, and the active client texture state.

ERRORS

GL_STACK_OVERFLOW is generated if glPushClientAttrib is called while the attribute stack is full.

GL_STACK_UNDERFLOW is generated if glPopClientAttrib is called while the attribute stack is empty.

Opportunity

Personal Opportunity - Free software gives you access to billions of dollars of software at no cost. Use this software for your business, personal use or to develop a profitable skill. Access to source code provides access to a level of capabilities/information that companies protect though copyrights. Open source is a core component of the Internet and it is available to you. Leverage the billions of dollars in resources and capabilities to build a career, establish a business or change the world. The potential is endless for those who understand the opportunity.

Business Opportunity - Goldman Sachs, IBM and countless large corporations are leveraging open source to reduce costs, develop products and increase their bottom lines. Learn what these companies know about open source and how open source can give you the advantage.

Free Software

Free Software provides computer programs and capabilities at no cost but more importantly, it provides the freedom to run, edit, contribute to, and share the software. The importance of free software is a matter of access, not price. Software at no cost is a benefit but ownership rights to the software and source code is far more significant.

Free Office Software - The Libre Office suite provides top desktop productivity tools for free. This includes, a word processor, spreadsheet, presentation engine, drawing and flowcharting, database and math applications. Libre Office is available for Linux or Windows.

Free Books

The Free Books Library is a collection of thousands of the most popular public domain books in an online readable format. The collection includes great classical literature and more recent works where the U.S. copyright has expired. These books are yours to read and use without restrictions.

Source Code - Want to change a program or know how it works? Open Source provides the source code for its programs so that anyone can use, modify or learn how to write those programs themselves. Visit the GNU source code repositories to download the source.

Education

Study at Harvard, Stanford or MIT - Open edX provides free online courses from Harvard, MIT, Columbia, UC Berkeley and other top Universities. Hundreds of courses for almost all major subjects and course levels. Open edx also offers some paid courses and selected certifications.

Linux Manual Pages - A man or manual page is a form of software documentation found on Linux/Unix operating systems. Topics covered include computer programs (including library and system calls), formal standards and conventions, and even abstract concepts.
