Hi, in a program, I drew some something on the screen, in 2D, then I wanted to draw some points and lines above them. I didn't use a closer z value, so these points and lines counldn't pass the depth test. So I tried to use glPolygonOffset, but I met troubles.

I called glPolygonOffset like this:

glPolygonOffset(0.0f, -1.0f);

First I drew quads with PolgyonMode set to GL_FILL, enable GL_POLYGON_OFFSET_FILL, and everything is ok, the wireframe of the quads were displayed correctly on the screen.

To draw the points, with the same offset setting, I tried to enable GL_POLYGON_OFFSET_FILL, GL_POLYGON_OFFSET_LINE, GL_POLYGON_OFFSET_POINT, but none of them worked.

I searched on google but didn't find the answer. I am thinking that whether point and line are not polygon in GL, so they are not affected by glPolygonOffset? If they were polygon, which type should I use, GL_POLYGON_OFFSET_FILL or GL_POLYGON_OFFSET_POINT?

Thanks.

The point and line depth offsets applies only to points and lines drawn as a result of setting the polygon fill mode. See glPolygonMode.
