  33             Stenciling,
  34             like depth-buffering,
  35             enables and disables drawing on a per-pixel basis.
  36             You draw into the stencil planes using GL drawing primitives,
  37             then render geometry and images,
  38             using the stencil planes to mask out portions of the screen.
  39             Stenciling is typically used in multipass rendering algorithms
  40             to achieve special effects,
  41             such as decals,
  42             outlining,
  43             and constructive solid geometry rendering.
  44         </p><p>
  45             The stencil test conditionally eliminates a pixel based on the outcome
  46             of a comparison between the value in the stencil buffer and a
  47             reference value. To enable and disable the test, call <a href="glEnable.xml"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">glEnable</span></span></a>
  48             and <a href="glDisable.xml"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">glDisable</span></span></a> with argument
  49             <code class="constant">GL_STENCIL_TEST</code>; to control it, call
  50             <a href="glStencilFunc.xml"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">glStencilFunc</span></span></a> or
  51             <a href="glStencilFuncSeparate.xml"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">glStencilFuncSeparate</span></span></a>.
  52         </p><p>
  53             There can be two separate sets of <em class="parameter"><code>sfail</code></em>, <em class="parameter"><code>dpfail</code></em>, and
  54             <em class="parameter"><code>dppass</code></em> parameters; one affects back-facing polygons, and the other
  55             affects front-facing polygons as well as other non-polygon primitives.
  56             <a href="glStencilOp.xml"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">glStencilOp</span></span></a> sets both front

  61             <code class="function">glStencilOpSeparate</code> takes three arguments that indicate what happens
  62             to the stored stencil value while stenciling is enabled.
  63             If the stencil test fails,
  64             no change is made to the pixel's color or depth buffers,
  65             and <em class="parameter"><code>sfail</code></em> specifies what happens to the stencil buffer contents.

 108             The other two arguments to <code class="function">glStencilOpSeparate</code> specify stencil buffer actions

 112             The actions are specified using the same eight symbolic constants as <em class="parameter"><code>sfail</code></em>.
 113             Note that <em class="parameter"><code>dpfail</code></em> is ignored when there is no depth buffer,

 115             In these cases, <em class="parameter"><code>sfail</code></em> and <em class="parameter"><code>dppass</code></em> specify stencil action when the
