.SH PARAMETERS
.TP \w'\f2factor\fP\ \ 'u 
\f2factor\fP 
Specifies a scale factor that is used to create a variable
depth offset for each polygon. The initial value is 0.
.TP
\f2units\fP 
Is multiplied by an implementation-specific value to
create a constant depth offset. The initial value is 0.
.SH DESCRIPTION
When \%\f3GL_POLYGON_OFFSET_FILL\fP, \%\f3GL_POLYGON_OFFSET_LINE\fP, or
\%\f3GL_POLYGON_OFFSET_POINT\fP is enabled, each
fragment's \f2depth\fP value will be offset after it is interpolated
from the \f2depth\fP values of the appropriate vertices.
The value of the offset is $"factor" ~*~ DZ ~~+~~ r ~*~ "units"$,
where $DZ~$ is a measurement of the change in depth relative to the screen 
area of the polygon, and $r$ is the smallest value that is guaranteed to
produce a resolvable offset for a given implementation.
The offset is added before the depth test is performed and before
the value is written into the depth buffer.
.P
\%\f3glPolygonOffset\fP is useful for rendering hidden-line images, for applying decals 
to surfaces, and for rendering solids with highlighted edges.
.SH NOTES
\%\f3glPolygonOffset\fP is available only if the GL version is 1.1 or greater.
.P
\%\f3glPolygonOffset\fP has no effect on depth coordinates placed in the
feedback buffer.
.P
\%\f3glPolygonOffset\fP has no effect on selection.
.SH ERRORS
\%\f3GL_INVALID_OPERATION\fP is generated if \%\f3glPolygonOffset\fP is executed
between the execution of \%\f3glBegin\fP and the corresponding
execution of \%\f3glEnd\fP.
