Description

These four commands return values for simple state variables in GL. pname is a symbolic constant indicating the state variable to be returned, and params is a pointer to an array of the indicated type in which to place the returned data.

Type conversion is performed if params has a different type than the state variable value being requested. If Gl.GetBooleanv is called, a floating-point (or integer) value is converted to Gl.FALSE if and only if it is 0.0 (or 0). Otherwise, it is converted to Gl.TRUE. If Gl.GetIntegerv is called, boolean values are returned as Gl.TRUE or Gl.FALSE, and most floating-point values are rounded to the nearest integer value. Floating-point colors and normals, however, are returned with a linear mapping that maps 1.0 to the most positive representable integer value and $-1.0$ to the most negative representable integer value. If Gl.GetFloatv or Gl.GetDoublev is called, boolean values are returned as Gl.TRUE or Gl.FALSE, and integer values are converted to floating-point values.

When used with indexed variants of Gl.Get (such as Gl.GetInteger64i_v), params returns a single value, the start offset of the binding range for each transform feedback attribute stream. The initial value is 0 for all streams. See Gl.BindBufferRange.

Gl.TRANSFORM_FEEDBACK_BUFFER_SIZE

When used with indexed variants of Gl.Get (such as Gl.GetInteger64i_v), params returns a single value, the size of the binding range for each transform feedback attribute stream. The initial value is 0 for all streams. See Gl.BindBufferRange.

Gl.UNIFORM_BUFFER_BINDING

When used with non-indexed variants of Gl.Get (such as Gl.GetIntegerv), params returns a single value, the name of the buffer object currently bound to the target Gl.UNIFORM_BUFFER. If no buffer object is bound to this target, 0 is returned. When used with indexed variants of Gl.Get (such as Gl.GetIntegeri_v), params returns a single value, the name of the buffer object bound to the indexed uniform buffer binding point. The initial value is 0 for all targets. See Gl.BindBuffer, Gl.BindBufferBase, and Gl.BindBufferRange.

Gl.UNIFORM_BUFFER_START

When used with indexed variants of Gl.Get (such as Gl.GetInteger64i_v), params returns a single value, the start offset of the binding range for each indexed uniform buffer binding. The initial value is 0 for all bindings. See Gl.BindBufferRange.

Gl.UNIFORM_BUFFER_SIZE

When used with indexed variants of Gl.Get (such as Gl.GetInteger64i_v), params returns a single value, the size of the binding range for each indexed uniform buffer binding. The initial value is 0 for all bindings. See Gl.BindBufferRange.

Gl.UNIFORM_BUFFER_OFFSET_ALIGNMENT

params returns a single value, the minimum required alignment for uniform buffer sizes and offset. The initial value is 1. See Gl.uniformBlockBinding.

Gl.UNPACK_ALIGNMENT

params returns one value, the byte alignment used for reading pixel data from memory. The initial value is 4. See Gl.PixelStore.

Gl.UNPACK_IMAGE_HEIGHT

params returns one value, the image height used for reading pixel data from memory. The initial is 0. See Gl.PixelStore.

Gl.UNPACK_LSB_FIRST

params returns a single boolean value indicating whether single-bit pixels being read from memory are read first from the least significant bit of each unsigned byte. The initial value is Gl.FALSE. See Gl.PixelStore.

Gl.UNPACK_ROW_LENGTH

params returns one value, the row length used for reading pixel data from memory. The initial value is 0. See Gl.PixelStore.

Gl.UNPACK_SKIP_IMAGES

params returns one value, the number of pixel images skipped before the first pixel is read from memory. The initial value is 0. See Gl.PixelStore.

Gl.UNPACK_SKIP_PIXELS

params returns one value, the number of pixel locations skipped before the first pixel is read from memory. The initial value is 0. See Gl.PixelStore.

Gl.UNPACK_SKIP_ROWS

params returns one value, the number of rows of pixel locations skipped before the first pixel is read from memory. The initial value is 0. See Gl.PixelStore.

Gl.UNPACK_SWAP_BYTES

params returns a single boolean value indicating whether the bytes of two-byte and four-byte pixel indices and components are swapped after being read from memory. The initial value is Gl.FALSE. See Gl.PixelStore.

Gl.NUM_EXTENSIONS

params returns one value, the number of extensions supported by the GL implementation for the current context. See Gl.GetString.

Gl.MAJOR_VERSION

params returns one value, the major version number of the OpenGL API supported by the current context.

Gl.MINOR_VERSION

params returns one value, the minor version number of the OpenGL API supported by the current context.

Gl.CONTEXT_FLAGS

params returns one value, the flags with which the context was created (such as debugging functionality).

Gl.VERTEX_PROGRAM_POINT_SIZE

params returns a single boolean value indicating whether vertex program point size mode is enabled. If enabled, and a vertex shader is active, then the point size is taken from the shader built-in gl_PointSize. If disabled, and a vertex shader is active, then the point size is taken from the point state as specified by Gl.PointSize. The initial value is Gl.FALSE.

Gl.VIEWPORT

params returns four values: the $\mathit{x}$ and $\mathit{y}$ window coordinates of the viewport, followed by its width and height. Initially the $\mathit{x}$ and $\mathit{y}$ window coordinates are both set to 0, and the width and height are set to the width and height of the window into which the GL will do its rendering. See Gl.Viewport.

Many of the boolean parameters can also be queried more easily using Gl.IsEnabled.

Notes

The following parameters return the associated value for the active texture unit: Gl.TEXTURE_1D, Gl.TEXTURE_BINDING_1D, Gl.TEXTURE_2D, Gl.TEXTURE_BINDING_2D, Gl.TEXTURE_3D and Gl.TEXTURE_BINDING_3D.

Gl.MAX_RECTANGLE_TEXTURE_SIZE, Gl.MAX_TEXTURE_BUFFER_SIZE, Gl.UNIFORM_BUFFER_BINDING, Gl.TEXTURE_BUFFER_BINDING, Gl.MAX_VERTEX_UNIFORM_BLOCKS, Gl.MAX_FRAGMENT_UNIFORM_BLOCKS, Gl.MAX_COMBINED_FRAGMENT_UNIFORM_COMPONENTS, Gl.MAX_COMBINED_VERTEX_UNIFORM_COMPONENTS Gl.MAX_COMBINED_UNIFORM_BLOCKS, Gl.MAX_UNIFORM_BLOCK_SIZE, and Gl.UNIFORM_BUFFER_OFFSET_ALIGNMENT are available only if the GL version is 3.1 or greater.

Gl.MAX_COMBINED_GEOMETRY_UNIFORM_COMPONENTS, Gl.MAX_GEOMETRY_UNIFORM_BLOCKS, Gl.MAX_GEOMETRY_INPUT_COMPONENTS, Gl.MAX_GEOMETRY_OUTPUT_COMPONENTS, Gl.MAX_GEOMETRY_OUTPUT_VERTICES, Gl.MAX_GEOMETRY_TOTAL_OUTPUT_COMPONENTS and Gl.MAX_GEOMETRY_TEXTURE_IMAGE_UNITS are available only if the GL version is 3.2 or greater.

Gl.GetInteger64v and Gl.GetInteger64i_v are available only if the GL version is 3.2 or greater.

Gl.MAX_DUALSOURCE_DRAW_BUFFERS, Gl.SAMPLER_BINDING, and Gl.TIMESTAMP are available only if the GL version is 3.3 or greater.

Errors

Gl.INVALID_ENUM is generated if pname is not an accepted value.

Gl.INVALID_VALUE is generated on any of Gl.GetBooleani_v, Gl.GetIntegeri_v, or Gl.GetInteger64i_v if index is outside of the valid range for the indexed state target.
