Function

no

wait, did you mean a function where you only specify a single color, or a single variable that contains all 3 colors? if it''s the latter, shove an "v" on the end of the function name and pass the address of the first element in the group. example:

struct COLOR
{
float R, G, B;
};

COLOR MyColor;

glColor3f (&MyColor.R);

this applies to most polygon functions - tex co-ords, colors, normals, vertex pos, etc.

MENTAL

I mean that the color is only in a single variable,
or must i split the color?

You can write for example

unsigned long colour = 0x00ffffff // white glColor3ubv(&colour); // pass the color as a vector of 3 unsigned bytes

I find that the easiest way to do this is to implement a color-struct with union. Such as:

struct Color { union { float f[3]; float r, g, b; }; }; Color c; c.r = 1.0f; c.g = 0.0f; c.b = 0.5f; glColor3fv (c.f);

Neophyte, that won''t work. You should have done this:

struct Color { union { float f[3]; struct { float r, g, b; }; }; };

Otherwise r, g, and b all access the same memory.
