<para>
Specify whether red, green, blue, and alpha can or cannot be written
into the frame buffer.
The initial values are all <constant>GL_TRUE</constant>,
indicating that the color components can be written.

<para>
<function>glColorMask</function> specifies whether the individual color components in the frame buffer
can or cannot be written.
If <parameter>red</parameter> is <constant>GL_FALSE</constant>,
for example,
no change is made to the red component of any pixel in any of the
color buffers,
regardless of the drawing operation attempted.
</para>
<para>
Changes to individual bits of components cannot be controlled.
Rather,
changes are either enabled or disabled for entire color components.
