glClearIndex 3G
glClearIndex specify the clear value for the color index buffers

## C Specification

void `glClearIndex` GLfloat c

## Parameters

c

  Specifies the index used when the color index buffers are cleared. The initial value is 0.

## Description

`glClearIndex` specifies the index used by glClear to clear the color index buffers. c is not clamped. Rather, c is converted to a fixed-point value with unspecified precision to the right of the binary point. The integer part of this value is then masked with 2 m - 1 , where m is the number of bits in a color index stored in the frame buffer.

## Errors

`GL_INVALID_OPERATION` is generated if `glClearIndex` is executed between the execution of glBegin and the corresponding execution of glEnd.

## Associated Gets

glGet with argument `GL_INDEX_CLEAR_VALUE`

glGet with argument `GL_INDEX_BITS`
