cgSetParameterValue(3)

NAME
cgSetParameterValue - set the value of any numeric parameter

SYNOPSIS
  #include <Cg/cg.h>
  /* TYPE is int, float or double */
  void cgSetParameterValue{ifd}{rc}( CGparameter param,
                                     int nelements,
                                     const TYPE * v );

PARAMETERS
The program parameter whose value will be set. The number of elements in array v. Source buffer from which the parameter values will be read.

RETURN VALUES
None.

DESCRIPTION
cgSetParameterValue allows the application to set the value of any numeric parameter or parameter array.

The given parameter must be a scalar, vector, matrix, or a (possibly multidimensional) array of scalars, vectors, or matrices.

There are versions of each function that take int, float or double values signified by the i, f or d in the function name.

There are versions of each function that will cause any matrices referenced by param to be initialized in either row-major or column-major order, as signified by the r or c in the function name.

For example, the cgSetParameterValueic manpage sets the given parameter using the supplied array of integer data, and initializes matrices in column-major order.

If v is smaller than the total number of values in the given source parameter, CG_NOT_ENOUGH_DATA_ERROR is generated.

The total number of values in a parameter, ntotal, may be computed as follow:

    int nrows = cgGetParameterRows(param);
    int ncols = cgGetParameterColumns(param);
    int asize = cgGetArrayTotalSize(param);
    int ntotal = nrows*ncols;
    if (asize > 0) ntotal *= asize;

ERRORS
CG_INVALID_PARAM_HANDLE_ERROR is generated if param is not a valid parameter.

CG_INVALID_PARAMETER_ERROR is generated if param is a varying input to a fragment program.

CG_INVALID_POINTER_ERROR is generated if v is NULL.

CG_NOT_ENOUGH_DATA_ERROR is generated if nelements is less than the total size of param.

CG_NON_NUMERIC_PARAMETER_ERROR is generated if param is of a non-numeric type.

HISTORY
The cgSetParameterValue functions were introduced in Cg 1.4.
