gDPSetDepthSource

Format
#include "gbi.h"

gDPSetDepthSource(Gfx *gdl,
   unsigned int source)
gsDPSetDepthSource(unsigned int source)
Arguments
  • gdl is the pointer to the graphics display list
  • source is G_ZS_PIXEL or G_ZS_PRIM
What This Macro Does
It specifies which source z to use to compare against depth buffer:
  • G_ZS_PIXEL uses the iterated z and deltaZ values for comparing against the depth buffer. This is the typical usage for a Z-Buffered application.
  • G_ZS_PRIM uses the primitive depth and primitive deltaZ in BL to compare against the depth buffer. In this mode, all pixels within a triangle have constant depth.
