GLALPHAFUNC()							   GLALPHAFUNC()

NAME
     glAlphaFunc - specify the alpha test function

C SPECIFICATION
     void glAlphaFunc( GLenum func,
		       GLclampf ref )

PARAMETERS
     func  Specifies   the   alpha   comparison  function.   Symbolic  constants
	   GL_NEVER,  GL_LESS,	GL_EQUAL,  GL_LEQUAL,  GL_GREATER,  GL_NOTEQUAL,
	   GL_GEQUAL,  and  GL_ALWAYS  are accepted. The initial value is GL_AL-
	   WAYS.

     ref   Specifies the reference value that incoming alpha values are compared
	   to.	This value is clamped to the range 0 through 1, where  0  repre-
	   sents  the  lowest  possible  alpha	value and 1 the highest possible
	   value.  The initial reference value is 0.

DESCRIPTION
     The alpha test discards fragments depending on the outcome of a  comparison
     between  an incoming fragment's alpha value and a constant reference value.
     glAlphaFunc specifies the reference value and the comparison function.  The
     comparison is performed only if alpha testing is enabled. By default, it is
     not enabled.  (See glEnable and glDisable of GL_ALPHA_TEST.)

     func and ref specify the conditions under which the pixel	is  drawn.   The
     incoming  alpha  value  is  compared to ref using the function specified by
     func.  If the value passes the comparison, the incoming fragment  is  drawn
     if  it also passes subsequent stencil and depth buffer tests.  If the value
     fails the comparison, no change is made to the frame buffer at  that  pixel
     location. The comparison functions are as follows:

     GL_NEVER	       Never passes.

     GL_LESS	       Passes  if the incoming alpha value is less than the ref-
		       erence value.

     GL_EQUAL	       Passes if the incoming alpha value is equal to the refer-
		       ence value.

     GL_LEQUAL	       Passes if the incoming alpha value is less than or  equal
		       to the reference value.

     GL_GREATER        Passes  if  the	incoming alpha value is greater than the
		       reference value.

     GL_NOTEQUAL       Passes if the incoming alpha value is not  equal  to  the
		       reference value.

     GL_GEQUAL	       Passes  if  the	incoming  alpha value is greater than or
		       equal to the reference value.

     GL_ALWAYS	       Always passes (initial value).

     glAlphaFunc operates on all pixel write operations, including those result-
     ing from the scan conversion of points, lines, polygons, and  bitmaps,  and
     from  pixel  draw	and copy operations.  glAlphaFunc does not affect screen
     clear operations.

NOTES
     Alpha testing is performed only in RGBA mode.

ERRORS
     GL_INVALID_ENUM is generated if func is not an accepted value.

     GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if glAlphaFunc is  executed  between  the
     execution of glBegin and the corresponding execution of glEnd.

ASSOCIATED GETS
     glGet with argument GL_ALPHA_TEST_FUNC
     glGet with argument GL_ALPHA_TEST_REF
     glIsEnabled with argument GL_ALPHA_TEST
