6 glEvalMesh - compute a one- or two-dimensional grid of points or lines
7
9 void glEvalMesh1(GLenum mode, GLint i1, GLint i2);
10
12 mode
13 In glEvalMesh1, specifies whether to compute a one-dimensional mesh
14 of points or lines. Symbolic constants GL_POINT and GL_LINE are
15 accepted.
16 i1, i2
18 Specify the first and last integer values for grid domain variable
19 i.
20
22 void glEvalMesh2(GLenum mode, GLint i1, GLint i2, GLint j1, GLint j2);
23
25 mode
26 In glEvalMesh2, specifies whether to compute a two-dimensional mesh
27 of points, lines, or polygons. Symbolic constants GL_POINT,
28 GL_LINE, and GL_FILL are accepted.
29 i1, i2
31 Specify the first and last integer values for grid domain variable
32 i.
33 j1, j2
35 Specify the first and last integer values for grid domain variable
36 j.

39 glMapGrid() and glEvalMesh are used in tandem to efficiently generate
40 and evaluate a series of evenly-spaced map domain values. glEvalMesh
41 steps through the integer domain of a one- or two-dimensional grid,
42 whose range is the domain of the evaluation maps specified by glMap1()
43 and glMap2(). mode determines whether the resulting vertices are
44 connected as points, lines, or filled polygons.
45 In the one-dimensional case, glEvalMesh1, the mesh is generated as if
47 the following code fragment were executed:
48 glBegin( type );
50 for ( i = i1; i <= i2; i += 1 )
51 glEvalCoord1(
52 i
56 ⋅
57 Δ
58 u
59 +
61 u
63 1
64 );
67 glEnd();
68 where
71 Δ u = u 2 - u 1 n
73 and n, u 1, and u 2 are the arguments to the most recent glMapGrid1()
75 command. type is GL_POINTS if mode is GL_POINT, or GL_LINES if mode is
76 GL_LINE.
77 The one absolute numeric requirement is that if i = n, then the value
79 computed from i ⋅ Δ u + u 1 is exactly u 2.
80 In the two-dimensional case, glEvalMesh2, let .cp Δ u = u 2 - u 1 n
82 Δ v = v 2 - v 1 m
84 where n, u 1, u 2, m, v 1, and v 2 are the arguments to the most recent
86 glMapGrid2() command. Then, if mode is GL_FILL, the glEvalMesh2 command
87 is equivalent to:
88 for ( j = j1; j < j2; j += 1 ) {
90 glBegin( GL_QUAD_STRIP );
91 for ( i = i1; i <= i2; i += 1 ) {
92 glEvalCoord2(
93 i
97 ⋅
98 Δ
99 u
100 +
102 u
104 1
105 ,
107 j
110 ⋅
111 Δ
112 v
113 +
116 v
118 1
119 );
122 glEvalCoord2(
123 i
127 ⋅
128 Δ
129 u
130 +
132 u
134 1
135 ,
137 j
143 +
144 1
145 ⋅
149 Δ
150 v
151 +
153 v
155 1
156 );
159 }
160 glEnd();
161 }
162 If mode is GL_LINE, then a call to glEvalMesh2 is equivalent to:
165 for ( j = j1; j <= j2; j += 1 ) {
167 glBegin( GL_LINE_STRIP );
168 for ( i = i1; i <= i2; i += 1 )
169 glEvalCoord2(
170 i
174 ⋅
175 Δ
176 u
177 +
179 u
181 1
182 ,
184 j
187 ⋅
188 Δ
189 v
190 +
192 v
194 1
195 );
198 glEnd();
199 }
200 for ( i = i1; i <= i2; i += 1 ) {
202 glBegin( GL_LINE_STRIP );
203 for ( j = j1; j <= j1; j += 1 )
204 glEvalCoord2(
205 i
209 ⋅
210 Δ
211 u
212 +
214 u
216 1
217 ,
219 j
222 ⋅
223 Δ
224 v
225 +
227 v
229 1
230 );
233 glEnd();
234 }
235 And finally, if mode is GL_POINT, then a call to glEvalMesh2 is
238 equivalent to:
239 glBegin( GL_POINTS );
241 for ( j = j1; j <= j2; j += 1 )
242 for ( i = i1; i <= i2; i += 1 )
243 glEvalCoord2(
244 i
248 ⋅
249 Δ
250 u
251 +
253 u
255 1
256 ,
258 j
261 ⋅
262 Δ
263 v
264 +
266 v
268 1
269 );
272 glEnd();
273 In all three cases, the only absolute numeric requirements are that if
276 i = n, then the value computed from i ⋅ Δ u + u 1 is exactly u 2, and
277 if j = m, then the value computed from j ⋅ Δ v + v 1 is exactly v 2.
278
280 GL_INVALID_ENUM is generated if mode is not an accepted value.
281 GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if glEvalMesh is executed between the
283 execution of glBegin() and the corresponding execution of glEnd().
