## gDPSetDepthImage [macro]

Sets the Z buffer area.

Syntax

    #include <ultra64.h> /* gbi.h */
    gDPSetDepthImage(Gfx *gdl, s32 img)
    gsDPSetDepthImage(s32 img)

Arguments

- gdl is the display list pointer.

- img is the address of an image (64-byte alignment).

Explanation
Sets the area to be used as the Z buffer.

For details, see Section 12.8.1, "Image Location and Format," in the N64 Online Programming Manual.

Notes
This macro must be used if Z buffering is enabled. Image width (width) and pixel size (siz) do not need to be set when the Z buffer area is secured, because the value set by gDPSetColorImage is used for width and the siz is always G_IM_SIZ_16b (16 bits per cycle).
