36 Specifies the data type of each fog coordinate.
37 Symbolic constants
38 <constant>GL_FLOAT</constant>,

48 Specifies the byte offset between consecutive fog coordinates.
49 If <parameter>stride</parameter> is 0, the array elements are understood
50 to be tightly packed. The initial value is 0.

66 <para>
67 <function>glFogCoordPointer</function> specifies the location and data format of an array of fog coordinates
68 to use when rendering. <parameter>type</parameter> specifies the data type of each fog
69 coordinate, and <parameter>stride</parameter> specifies the byte stride from one fog coordinate to
70 the next, allowing vertices and attributes to be packed into a single array
71 or stored in separate arrays.
72 </para>
73 <para>
74 If a non-zero named buffer object is bound to the <constant>GL_ARRAY_BUFFER</constant> target
75 (see <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glBindBuffer</refentrytitle></citerefentry>) while a fog coordinate array is
76 specified, <parameter>pointer</parameter> is treated as a byte offset into the buffer object's data store.
77 Also, the buffer object binding (<constant>GL_ARRAY_BUFFER_BINDING</constant>) is saved as fog coordinate vertex array
78 client-side state (<constant>GL_FOG_COORD_ARRAY_BUFFER_BINDING</constant>).
79 </para>
80 <para>
81 When a fog coordinate array is specified,
82 <parameter>type</parameter>, <parameter>stride</parameter>, and <parameter>pointer</parameter> are saved as client-side
83 state, in addition to the current vertex array buffer object binding.
84 </para>
85 <para>
86 To enable and disable the fog coordinate array, call
87 <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glEnableClientState</refentrytitle></citerefentry> and <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glDisableClientState</refentrytitle></citerefentry> with the argument
88 <constant>GL_FOG_COORD_ARRAY</constant>. If
89 enabled, the fog coordinate array is used
90 when <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glDrawArrays</refentrytitle></citerefentry>, <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glMultiDrawArrays</refentrytitle></citerefentry>, <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glDrawElements</refentrytitle></citerefentry>,
91 <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glMultiDrawElements</refentrytitle></citerefentry>, <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glDrawRangeElements</refentrytitle></citerefentry>, or
92 <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glArrayElement</refentrytitle></citerefentry> is called.
93 </para>

95 <refsect1 id="notes"><title>Notes</title>
96 <para>
97 <function>glFogCoordPointer</function> is available only if the GL version is 1.4 or greater.
98 </para>
99 <para>
100 Fog coordinates are not supported for interleaved vertex array formats
101 (see <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glInterleavedArrays</refentrytitle></citerefentry>).
102 </para>
103 <para>
104 The fog coordinate array is initially disabled and isn't accessed when
105 <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glArrayElement</refentrytitle></citerefentry>, <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glDrawElements</refentrytitle></citerefentry>, <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glDrawRangeElements</refentrytitle></citerefentry>,
106 <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glDrawArrays</refentrytitle></citerefentry>, <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glMultiDrawArrays</refentrytitle></citerefentry>, or <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glMultiDrawElements</refentrytitle></citerefentry>
107 is called.
108 </para>
109 <para>
110 Execution of <function>glFogCoordPointer</function> is not allowed between the execution of
111 <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glBegin</refentrytitle></citerefentry> and the corresponding execution of <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glEnd</refentrytitle></citerefentry>,
112 but an error may or may not be generated. If no error is generated,
113 the operation is undefined.
114 </para>
115 <para>
116 <function>glFogCoordPointer</function> is typically implemented on the client side with no protocol.
117 </para>
118 <para>
119 Fog coordinate array parameters are client-side state and are
120 therefore not saved or restored by <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glPushAttrib</refentrytitle></citerefentry> and <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glPopAttrib</refentrytitle></citerefentry>.
121 Use <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glPushClientAttrib</refentrytitle></citerefentry> and
122 <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glPopClientAttrib</refentrytitle></citerefentry> instead.

127 <constant>GL_INVALID_ENUM</constant> is generated if <parameter>type</parameter> is not either <constant>GL_FLOAT</constant>
