OpenGL State Variables

The following pages contain tables that list the names of queryable state variables. For each variable, the tables list a description of it, its attribute group, its initial or minimum value, and the suggested glGet*() command to use for obtaining it. State variables that can be obtained using glGetBooleanv(), glGetIntegerv(), glGetFloatv(), or glGetDoublev() are listed with just one of these commands - the one that's most appropriate given the type of data to be returned. These state variables can't be obtained using glIsEnabled(). However, state variables for which glIsEnabled() is listed as the query command can also be obtained using glGetBooleanv(), glGetIntegerv(), glGetFloatv(), and glGetDoublev(). State variables for which any other command is listed as the query command can be obtained only by using that command. If no attribute group is listed, the variable doesn't belong to any group. All queryable state variables except the implementation-dependent ones have initial values. If no initial value is listed, you need to consult the section where that variable is discussed (or the OpenGL Reference Manual) to determine its initial value.
