		     GLdouble *params )

Parameters


  pname	  Specifies the	parameter value	to be returned.	 The symbolic
	  constants in the list	below are accepted.

  params  Returns the value or values of the specified parameter.

Description

  These	four commands return values for	simple state variables in GL. pname
  is a symbolic	constant indicating the	state variable to be returned, and
  params is a pointer to an array of the indicated type	in which to place the
  returned data.

  Type conversion is performed if params has a different type than the state
  variable value being requested.  If glGetBooleanv is called, a floating-
  point	or integer value is converted to GL_FALSE if and only if it is zero.
  Otherwise, it	is converted to	GL_TRUE.  If glGetIntegerv is called, Boolean
  values are returned as GL_TRUE or GL_FALSE, and most floating-point values
  are rounded to the nearest integer value.  Floating-point colors and
  normals, however, are	returned with a	linear mapping that maps 1.0 to	the
  most positive	representable integer value, and -1.0 to the most negative
  representable	integer	value.	If glGetFloatv or glGetDoublev is called,
  Boolean values are returned as GL_TRUE or GL_FALSE, and integer values are
  converted to floating-point values.
