Description
The color mask controls whether the color values of a pixel are updated. Sometimes
it is used to selectively update only the red, green, blue or alpha channels of the
image. More often, it is used to completely disable color updates while updating the
tag and stencil buffers.
Examples
Draw a '8' digit in the middle of the screen. Then paint an invisible 40-pixel circular
touch area into the tag buffer:
dl( BEGIN(BITMAPS) );
dl( VERTEX2II(68, 40, 31, 0x38) );
dl( POINT_SIZE(40 * 16) );
dl( COLOR_MASK(0, 0, 0, 0) );
dl( BEGIN(POINTS) );
dl( TAG( 0x38 ) );
dl( VERTEX2II(80, 60, 0, 0) );
