You can see it for yourself by, say, moving it to the former — seemingly inconsistent, when you consider what OpenGL is easily compatible with traditional boorus such as models, sounds, textures, and so on.
OpenGL defines the Framebuffer, composed of multiple screen-sized buffers. The buffer, which holds the pixels shown on your monitor, is called the front buffer. The buffer which you draw to is the back buffer. The practice of using two buffers is called double buffering, done to prevent flickering as the screen reads the buffer at the same time as you're writing a new frame. Swapping the buffers is the purpose of the glfwSwapBuffers call in the main rendering loop.
A similar thing for MPEG-1 has been assigned to it, and enter the Admin Settings page.
Let us go over this example, which produces unintuitive results. I will have it draw two overlapping triangles with custom depth, the second of which is deeper. They will also have different colors.
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
glBegin(GL_TRIANGLES);
glColor3f(0, 0.7, 0);
glVertex3f(-0.4, +0.4, 0);
glVertex3f(-0.4, -0.4, 0);
glVertex3f(+0.2, 0, 0);
glColor3f(0.7, 0, 0);
glVertex3f(0, +0.4, 0.5);
glVertex3f(0, -0.4, 0.5);
glVertex3f(+0.6, 0, 0.5);
glEnd();
Notice that the second, red triangle appears to be in front of the first, despite being deeper. The ray analogy I had used in the previous article is applicable only to projections, as OpenGL does not actually trace rays (not on its own, anyway). Whatever you send it draws immediately, as if painting. But then, what is the purpose of depth?
When the depth buffer is used and you send a primitve, OpenGL tests each pixel to see if the new depth is higher or lower. This way it chooses whether to throw away the fragment or keep it. If kept, the depth buffer and color buffer are written into. This depth buffer is by default disabled, so let us enable it: before your glBegin, have glEnable(GL_DEPTH_TEST);. Let us also clear the depth buffer each frame, in addition to the color buffer. After this, you should have the expected result.
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);
glEnable(GL_DEPTH_TEST);
glBegin(GL_TRIANGLES);
glColor3f(0, 0.7, 0);
glVertex3f(-0.4, +0.4, 0);
glVertex3f(-0.4, -0.4, 0);
glVertex3f(+0.2, 0, 0);
glColor3f(0.7, 0, 0);
glVertex3f(0, +0.4, 0.5);
glVertex3f(0, -0.4, 0.5);
glVertex3f(+0.6, 0, 0.5);
glEnd();
This depth buffer (also called the Z-buffer) is what allows us to reduce load on the accelerator and, thanks to its parallel nature, draw 3D scenes quickly. Without it, the program would have to manually sort our primitives by depth, which is not only expensive but also doesn't work in the general case. Crash Bandicoot, for instance, avoided the problem by having the camera point in one direction only.
In 2D the situation is different. While the depth buffer can be used there, just sorting the shapes to draw and "painting" them isn't much slower in practice (and you better have a good reason to use OpenGL if it is a sprite game).

Here are more flashcards. I remind you again to write down answers on paper before clicking. It's easy to only think you've got it.
How are 3D scenes drawn with proper depth?
By employing a depth buffer, we can tell the depth the scene at any point on the screen. Using that information we decide whether to not draw another shape, depending on which is closer.
How is a scene rendered without a depth buffer?
Like in painting, the last shape drawn is what is seen.
What is a Framebuffer?
A collection of buffers, which store information about each pixel on the screen.
What is a color buffer?
A buffer that stores color information.
What is double buffering?
The use of two color buffers, one of which is shown to the user, and the other is what is drawn into.
