       void glBitmap( GLsizei width,
                      GLsizei height,
                      GLfloat xorig,
                      GLfloat yorig,
                      GLfloat xmove,
                      GLfloat ymove,
                      const GLubyte *bitmap )

PARAMETERS

       width, height Specify the pixel width and height of the bitmap image.

       xorig, yorig  Specify  the  location of the origin in the bitmap image.
                     The origin is measured from the lower left corner of  the
                     bitmap, with right and up being the positive axes.

       xmove, ymove  Specify  the  x  and y offsets to be added to the current
                     raster position after the bitmap is drawn.

       bitmap        Specifies the address of the bitmap image.

DESCRIPTION

       A bitmap is a binary image.  When drawn, the bitmap is positioned rela-
       tive  to  the  current  raster position, and frame buffer pixels corre-
       sponding to 1's in the bitmap are  written  using  the  current  raster
       color or index.  Frame buffer pixels corresponding to 0's in the bitmap
       are not modified.

       glBitmap takes seven arguments.  The first pair specifies the width and
       height  of the bitmap image.  The second pair specifies the location of
       the bitmap origin relative to the  lower  left  corner  of  the  bitmap
       image.   The  third  pair  of arguments specifies x and y offsets to be
       added to the current raster position after the bitmap has  been  drawn.
       The final argument is a pointer to the bitmap image itself.

       The  bitmap  image  is interpreted like image data for the glDrawPixels
       command, with width and height corresponding to the  width  and  height
       arguments  of  that  command, and with type set to GL_BITMAP and format
       set to GL_COLOR_INDEX.  Modes specified using glPixelStore  affect  the
       interpretation   of   bitmap   image   data;   modes   specified  using
       glPixelTransfer do not.

       If the current raster position is invalid, glBitmap is ignored.  Other-
       wise,  the  lower  left corner of the bitmap image is positioned at the
       window coordinates

                                    xw = xr - xo

                                    yw = yr - yo

NOTES

       To  set a valid raster position outside the viewport, first set a valid
       raster position inside the viewport, then call glBitmap  with  NULL  as
       the bitmap parameter and with xmove and ymove set to the offsets of the
       new raster position. This technique is useful  when  panning  an  image
       around the viewport.

ERRORS

       GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated if width or height is negative.

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