glColorTableParameter

set color lookup table parameters

# C Specification

                    void glColorTableParameterfv
                    GLenum target
                    GLenum pname
                    const GLfloat * params

                    void glColorTableParameteriv
                    GLenum target
                    GLenum pname
                    const GLint * params

## Parameters

`target`

- The target color table. Must be `GL_COLOR_TABLE`, `GL_POST_CONVOLUTION_COLOR_TABLE`, or `GL_POST_COLOR_MATRIX_COLOR_TABLE`.

`pname`

- The symbolic name of a texture color lookup table parameter. Must be one of `GL_COLOR_TABLE_SCALE` or `GL_COLOR_TABLE_BIAS`.

`params`

- A pointer to an array where the values of the parameters are stored.

## Description

`glColorTableParameter` is used to specify the scale factors and bias terms applied to color components when they are loaded into a color table. `target` indicates which color table the scale and bias terms apply to; it must be set to `GL_COLOR_TABLE`, `GL_POST_CONVOLUTION_COLOR_TABLE`, or `GL_POST_COLOR_MATRIX_COLOR_TABLE`.

`pname` must be `GL_COLOR_TABLE_SCALE` to set the scale factors. In this case, `params` points to an array of four values, which are the scale factors for red, green, blue, and alpha, in that order.

`pname` must be `GL_COLOR_TABLE_BIAS` to set the bias terms. In this case, `params` points to an array of four values, which are the bias terms for red, green, blue, and alpha, in that order.

The color tables themselves are specified by calling

glColorTable

.

## Notes

`glColorTableParameter` is available only if `ARB_imaging` is returned from calling

glGetString

with an argument of `GL_EXTENSIONS`.

## Errors

`GL_INVALID_ENUM` is generated if `target` or `pname` is not an acceptable value.

`GL_INVALID_OPERATION` is generated if `glColorTableParameter` is executed between the execution of

glBegin

and the corresponding execution of

glEnd

.
