## Name

gl_PointCoord — contains the coordinate of a fragment within a point

## Declaration

`in vec2 gl_PointCoord ;`

## Description

`gl_PointCoord` is a fragment language input variable that contains the two-dimensional coordinates indicating where within a point primitive the current fragment is located. If the current primitive is not a point, then values read from `gl_PointCoord` are undefined.

`gl_PointCoord.s` ranges from 0.0 to 1.0 across the point horizontally from left to right. If `GL_POINT_SPRITE_COORD_ORIGIN` is `GL_LOWER_LEFT`, `gl_PointCoord.t` varies from 0.0 to 1.0 vertically from bottom to top. Otherwise, if `GL_POINT_SPRITE_COORD_ORIGIN` is `GL_UPPER_LEFT` then `gl_PointCoord.t` varies from 0.0 to 1.0 vertically from top to bottom. The default value of `GL_POINT_SPRITE_COORD_ORIGIN` is `GL_UPPER_LEFT`.
