12 <code class="function">glScissor</code> defines a rectangle, called the scissor box,
13 in window coordinates.
14 The first two arguments,
15 <em class="parameter"><code>x</code></em> and <em class="parameter"><code>y</code></em>,
16 specify the lower left corner of the box.
17 <em class="parameter"><code>width</code></em> and <em class="parameter"><code>height</code></em> specify the width and height of the box.
18 </p><p>
19 To enable and disable the scissor test, call
20 <a class="citerefentry" href="glEnable.xml"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">glEnable</span></span></a> and <a class="citerefentry" href="glDisable.xml"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">glDisable</span></span></a> with argument
21 <code class="constant">GL_SCISSOR_TEST</code>. The test is initially disabled.
22 While the test is enabled, only pixels that lie within the scissor box
23 can be modified by drawing commands.
24 Window coordinates have integer values at the shared corners of
25 frame buffer pixels.
26 <code class="code">glScissor(0,0,1,1)</code> allows modification of only the lower left
27 pixel in the window, and <code class="code">glScissor(0,0,0,0)</code> doesn't allow
28 modification of any pixels in the window.
29 </p><p>
30 When the scissor test is disabled,
31 it is as though the scissor box includes the entire window.
