Basic State Management
Figure 1-1 showed the various pipeline stages in OpenGL ES 3.0. Each pipeline stage has a state that can be enabled or disabled and appropriate state values that are maintained per context. Examples of states are blending enable, blend factors, cull enable, and cull face. The state is initialized with default values when an OpenGL ES context (EGLContext) is initialized. The state enables can be set using the glEnable and glDisable commands.
)
Later chapters will describe the specific state enables for each pipeline stage shown in Figure 1-1. You can also check whether a state is currently enabled or disabled by using the gIisEnabled command.

Specific state values such as blend factor, depth test values, and so on can also be queried using appropriate glGet*** commands. These commands are described in detail in Chapter 15, “State Queries.”
