GLSCISSOR()							     GLSCISSOR()

NAME
     glScissor - define the scissor box

C SPECIFICATION
     void glScissor( GLint x,
		     GLint y,
		     GLsizei width,
		     GLsizei height )

PARAMETERS
     x, y
	  Specify the lower left corner of the scissor box.  Initially (0, 0).

     width, height
	  Specify the width and height of the scissor box.  When a GL context is
	  first attached to a window, width and height are set to the dimensions
	  of that window.

DESCRIPTION
     glScissor	defines  a  rectangle, called the scissor box, in window coordi-
     nates.  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 al-
     low 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.

     GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if glScissor is executed between the exe-
     cution of glBegin and the corresponding execution of glEnd.

ASSOCIATED GETS
     glGet with argument GL_SCISSOR_BOX
     glIsEnabled with argument GL_SCISSOR_TEST
