Style Conventions
These style conventions are used in this guide:
• Bold—Command and routine names and matrices
• Italics—Variables, arguments, parameter names, spatial dimensions, matrix components, and first occurrences of key terms.
• Regular—Enumerated types and defined constants
Code examples are set off from the text in a monospace font, and command summaries are shaded with gray boxes.
In a command summary, we sometimes use braces to identify options among data types. In the following example, glCommand() has four possible suffixes: s, i, f, and d, which stand for the data types GLshort, GLint, GLfloat, and GLdouble. In the function prototype for glCommand(), TYPE is a wildcard that represents the data type indicated by the suffix.
