Chapter 2 B glBlendFunc glBlendFunc glBlendFunc: specify pixel arithmetic. C Specification void glBlendFunc( GLenum sfactor, GLenum dfactor) Parameters sfactor dfactor Specifies how the red, green, blue, and alpha source blending factors are computed. Nine symbolic constants are accepted: GL_ZERO, GL_ONE, GL_DST_COLOR, GL_ONE_MINUS_DST_COLOR, GL_SRC_ALPHA, GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA, GL_DST_ALPHA, GL_ONE_MINUS_DST_ALPHA, and GL_SRC_ALPHA_SATURATE. The initial value is GL_ONE. Specifies how the red, green, blue, and alpha destination blending factors are computed. Eight symbolic constants are accepted: GL_ZERO, GL_ONE, GL_SRC_COLOR, GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_COLOR, GL_SRC_ALPHA, GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA, GL_DST_ALPHA, and GL_ONE_MINUS_DST_ALPHA. The initial value is GL_ZERO. Description In RGBA mode, pixels can be drawn using a function that blends the incoming (source) RGBA values with the RGBA values that are already in the frame buffer (the destination values). Blending is initially disabled. Use glEnable and glDisable with argument GL_BLEND to enable and disable blending. glBlendFunc defines the operation of blending when it is enabled. sfactor specifies which of nine methods is used to scale the source color components. dfactor specifies which of eight methods is used to scale the destination color components. The eleven possible methods are described in the following table. Each method defines four scale factors, one each for red, green, blue, and alpha. In the table and in subsequent equations, source and destination color components are referred to as (Rs, Gs, Bs, As) and (Rd, Gd, Bd, Ad). They are understood to have integer values between 0 and (kR, kG, kB, kA), where kc = 2mc - 1 and (mR, mG, mB, mA) is the number of red, green, blue, and alpha bitplanes. Source and destination scale factors are referred to as (sR, sG, sB, sA) and (dR, dG, dB, dA). The scale factors described in the table, denoted (fR, fG, fB, fA), represent either source or destination factors. All scale factors have range [0,1]. 33
