20 | Information about the set of varying variables in a linked program that will be captured | |
21 | during transform feedback may be retrieved by calling <code class="function">glGetTransformFeedbackVarying</code>. | |
22 | <code class="function">glGetTransformFeedbackVarying</code> provides information about the varying | |
23 | variable selected by <em class="parameter"><code>index</code></em>. An <em class="parameter"><code>index</code></em> of 0 selects | |
24 | the first varying variable specified in the <em class="parameter"><code>varyings</code></em> array passed | |
25 | to <a href="glTransformFeedbackVaryings.xml"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">glTransformFeedbackVaryings</span></span></a>, and | |
c7b31271 | 26 | an <em class="parameter"><code>index</code></em> of <code class="constant">GL_TRANSFORM_FEEDBACK_VARYINGS</code> - 1 selects |
7faf1d71 AW |
27 | the last such variable. |
28 | </p><p> | |
29 | The name of the selected varying is returned as a null-terminated string in | |
30 | <em class="parameter"><code>name</code></em>. The actual number of characters written into <em class="parameter"><code>name</code></em>, | |
31 | excluding the null terminator, is returned in <em class="parameter"><code>length</code></em>. If <em class="parameter"><code>length</code></em> | |
32 | is NULL, no length is returned. The maximum number of characters that may be written into <em class="parameter"><code>name</code></em>, | |
33 | including the null terminator, is specified by <em class="parameter"><code>bufSize</code></em>. | |
34 | </p><p> | |
35 | The length of the longest varying name in program is given by <code class="constant">GL_TRANSFORM_FEEDBACK_VARYING_MAX_LENGTH</code>, | |
36 | which can be queried with <a href="glGetProgram.xml"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">glGetProgram</span></span></a>. | |
37 | </p><p> | |
38 | For the selected varying variable, its type is returned into <em class="parameter"><code>type</code></em>. The size of | |
39 | the varying is returned into <em class="parameter"><code>size</code></em>. The value in <em class="parameter"><code>size</code></em> is | |
40 | in units of the type returned in <em class="parameter"><code>type</code></em>. The type returned can be any of the | |
41 | scalar, vector, or matrix attribute types returned by <a href="glGetActiveAttrib.xml"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">glGetActiveAttrib</span></span></a>. | |
42 | If an error occurred, the return parameters <em class="parameter"><code>length</code></em>, <em class="parameter"><code>size</code></em>, | |
43 | <em class="parameter"><code>type</code></em> and <em class="parameter"><code>name</code></em> will be unmodified. This command will return as much | |
44 | information about the varying variables as possible. If no information is available, <em class="parameter"><code>length</code></em> | |
45 | will be set to zero and <em class="parameter"><code>name</code></em> will be an empty string. This situation could | |
46 | arise if <code class="function">glGetTransformFeedbackVarying</code> is called after a failed link. | |
