Description
glScissor defines a rectangle, called the scissor box, in window coordinates. The first two arguments, x
and y, specify the lower left corner of the box. width and height specify the width and height of the
box.
To enable and disable the scissor test, call glEnable() and
glDisable with argument GL_SCISSOR_TEST. The test is initially disabled. While the test is enabled, only
pixels that lie within the scissor box can be modified by drawing commands. Window coordinates have
integer values at the shared corners of frame buffer pixels. glScissor(0,0,1,1) allows modification of
only the lower left pixel in the window, and glScissor(0,0,0,0) doesn't allow modification of any pixels
in the window.
When the scissor test is disabled, it is as though the scissor box includes the entire window.
Errors
GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated if either width or height is negative.
