Parameters

  • array
    A symbolic constant for the array you want to enable or disable. This parameter can assume one of the following values:

    Value Meaning
    GL_COLOR_ARRAY

    If enabled, use color arrays with calls to glArrayElement, glDrawElements, or glDrawArrays.

    See also glColorPointer.

    GL_EDGE_FLAG_ARRAY

    If enabled, use edge flag arrays with calls to glArrayElement, glDrawElements, or glDrawArrays.

    See also glEdgeFlagPointer.

    GL_INDEX_ARRAY

    If enabled, use index arrays with calls to glArrayElement, glDrawElements, or glDrawArrays.

    See also glIndexPointer.

    GL_NORMAL_ARRAY

    If enabled, use normal arrays with calls to glArrayElement, glDrawElements, or glDrawArrays.

    See also glNormalPointer.

    GL_TEXTURE_COORD_ARRAY

    If enabled, use texture coordinate arrays with calls to glArrayElement, glDrawElements, or glDrawArrays.

    See also glTexCoordPointer.

    GL_VERTEX_ARRAY

    If enabled, use vertex arrays with calls to glArrayElement, glDrawElements, or glDrawArrays.

    See also glVertexPointer.

     

Return Value

Returns the following error code and its condition.

Return code Description
GL_INVALID_ENUM

array was not an accepted value.

 

Remarks

The glEnableClientState and glDisableClientState functions enable and disable various individual arrays. Use glIsEnabled or glGet to determine the current setting of any capability.

Calling glEnableClientState and glDisableClientState between calls to glBegin and the corresponding call to glEnd can cause an error. If no error is generated, the behavior is undefined.

Note  The glEnableClientState and glDisableClientState functions are only available in OpenGL version 1.1 or later.
