GLCLEAR()							       GLCLEAR()

NAME
     glClear - clear buffers to preset values

C SPECIFICATION
     void glClear( GLbitfield mask )

PARAMETERS
     mask  Bitwise  OR	of  masks  that indicate the buffers to be cleared.  The
	   four  masks	are  GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT,  GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT,   GL_AC-
	   CUM_BUFFER_BIT, and GL_STENCIL_BUFFER_BIT.

DESCRIPTION
     glClear  sets the bitplane area of the window to values previously selected
     by glClearColor, glClearIndex, glClearDepth, glClearStencil, and glClearAc-
     cum.  Multiple color buffers can be  cleared  simultaneously  by  selecting
     more than one buffer at a time using glDrawBuffer.

     The  pixel  ownership  test,  the	scissor  test, dithering, and the buffer
     writemasks affect the operation of glClear.  The  scissor	box  bounds  the
     cleared  region.	Alpha function, blend function, logical operation, sten-
     ciling, texture mapping, and depth-buffering are ignored by glClear.

     glClear takes a single argument that is the bitwise OR  of  several  values
     indicating which buffer is to be cleared.

     The values are as follows:

     GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT       Indicates the buffers currently enabled for color
			       writing.

     GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT       Indicates the depth buffer.

     GL_ACCUM_BUFFER_BIT       Indicates the accumulation buffer.

     GL_STENCIL_BUFFER_BIT     Indicates the stencil buffer.

     The  value  to  which  each buffer is cleared depends on the setting of the
     clear value for that buffer.

NOTES
     If a buffer is not present, then a glClear directed at that buffer  has  no
     effect.

ERRORS
     GL_INVALID_VALUE  is  generated if any bit other than the four defined bits
     is set in mask.

     GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if glClear is executed between the execu-
     tion of glBegin and the corresponding execution of glEnd.

ASSOCIATED GETS
     glGet with argument GL_ACCUM_CLEAR_VALUE
     glGet with argument GL_DEPTH_CLEAR_VALUE
     glGet with argument GL_INDEX_CLEAR_VALUE
     glGet with argument GL_COLOR_CLEAR_VALUE
     glGet with argument GL_STENCIL_CLEAR_VALUE
