Specifies a color buffer\&. Accepted values are
\fBGL_FRONT_LEFT\fR,

\fBGL_BACK_LEFT\fR,
\fBGL_BACK_RIGHT\fR,
\fBGL_FRONT\fR,

\fBGL_COLOR_ATTACHMENT\fR\fB\fIi\fR\fR\&.

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP

\fBglReadBuffer\fR
specifies a color buffer as the source for subsequent
\fBglReadPixels\fR(),
\fBglCopyTexImage1D\fR(),
\fBglCopyTexImage2D\fR(),
\fBglCopyTexSubImage1D\fR(),
\fBglCopyTexSubImage2D\fR(), and
\fBglCopyTexSubImage3D\fR()
commands\&.
\fImode\fR
accepts one of twelve or more predefined values\&. In a fully configured system,
\fBGL_FRONT\fR,
\fBGL_LEFT\fR, and
\fBGL_FRONT_LEFT\fR
all name the front left buffer,
\fBGL_FRONT_RIGHT\fR
and
\fBGL_RIGHT\fR
name the front right buffer, and
\fBGL_BACK_LEFT\fR
and
\fBGL_BACK\fR
name the back left buffer\&. Further more, the constants
\fBGL_COLOR_ATTACHMENT\fR\fB\fIi\fR\fR
may be used to indicate the
\fIi\fRth
color attachment where
\fIi\fR
ranges from zero to the value of
\fBGL_MAX_COLOR_ATTACHMENTS\fR
minus one\&.
.PP
Nonstereo double\-buffered configurations have only a front left and a back left buffer\&. Single\-buffered configurations have a front left and a front right buffer if stereo, and only a front left buffer if nonstereo\&. It is an error to specify a nonexistent buffer to
\fBglReadBuffer\fR\&.
.PP

\fImode\fR
is initially
\fBGL_FRONT\fR
in single\-buffered configurations and
\fBGL_BACK\fR
in double\-buffered configurations\&.
.SH "ERRORS"
.PP

\fBGL_INVALID_ENUM\fR
is generated if
\fImode\fR
is not one of the twelve (or more) accepted values\&.
.PP

\fBGL_INVALID_OPERATION\fR
is generated if
\fImode\fR
specifies a buffer that does not exist\&.
.SH "ASSOCIATED GETS"
