NAME

       clear_zbuffer  -  Writes a depth value into the given Z-buffer. Allegro
       game programming library.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <allegro.h>

       void clear_zbuffer(ZBUFFER *zbuf, float z);

DESCRIPTION

       Writes z into the given Z-buffer (0  means  far  away).  This  function
       should  be used to initialize the Z-buffer before each frame. Actually,
       low-level routines compare depth of the current  pixel  with  1/z:  for
       example,  if  you  want to clip polygons farther than 10, you must call
       clear_zbuffer(zbuf, 0.1).
