fglReadBuffer - select a color buffer source for pixels

As shipped in IRIX 6.5.5. Unchanged since IRIX 6.5.

NAME
     fglReadBuffer - select a color buffer source for pixels


FORTRAN SPECIFICATION
     SUBROUTINE fglReadBuffer( INTEGER*4 mode )


PARAMETERS
     mode  Specifies a color buffer.  Accepted values are GL_FRONT_LEFT,
           GL_FRONT_RIGHT, GL_BACK_LEFT, GL_BACK_RIGHT, GL_FRONT, GL_BACK,
           GL_LEFT, GL_RIGHT, and GL_AUXi, where i is between 0 and
           GL_AUX_BUFFERS -1.

DESCRIPTION
     fglReadBuffer specifies a color buffer as the source for subsequent
     fglReadPixels, fglCopyTexImage1D, fglCopyTexImage2D,
     fglCopyTexSubImage1D, fglCopyTexSubImage2D, and fglCopyPixels commands.
     mode accepts one of twelve or more predefined values.  (GL_AUX0 through
     GL_AUX3 are always defined.)  In a fully configured system, GL_FRONT,
     GL_LEFT, and GL_FRONT_LEFT all name the front left buffer, GL_FRONT_RIGHT
     and GL_RIGHT name the front right buffer, and GL_BACK_LEFT and GL_BACK
     name the back left buffer.

     Nonstereo double-buffered configurations have only a front left and a
     back left buffer.  Single-buffered configurations have a front left and a
     front right buffer if stereo, and only a front left buffer if nonstereo.
     It is an error to specify a nonexistent buffer to fglReadBuffer.

     mode is initially GL_FRONT in single-buffered configurations, and GL_BACK
     in double-buffered configurations.

ERRORS
     GL_INVALID_ENUM is generated if mode is not one of the twelve (or more)
     accepted values.

     GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if mode specifies a buffer that does
     not exist.

     GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if fglReadBuffer is executed between
     the execution of fglBegin and the corresponding execution of fglEnd.

ASSOCIATED GETS
     fglGet with argument GL_READ_BUFFER
