glPointSizePointerOES and glScalef

I am using point sprites to display a few ten thousand points, each with a different size. It works well, looks great and is quite fast. I'm using a VBO with the coordinates and the sizes in it (4 floats per point).

Here is my display code

glEnable(GL_POINT_SPRITE_OES);
glEnable(GL_TEXTURE_2D);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, pointTexture);
glTexEnvi( GL_POINT_SPRITE_OES, GL_COORD_REPLACE_OES, GL_TR开发者_如何学运维UE );
glEnableClientState(GL_VERTEX_ARRAY);
glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, pointVertices);
glVertexPointer(3, GL_FLOAT, 4*sizeof(float), 0);
glEnableClientState(GL_POINT_SIZE_ARRAY_OES);
glPointSizePointerOES(GL_FLOAT,4*sizeof(float),(GLvoid*) (sizeof(GL_FLOAT)*3));
glDrawArrays(GL_POINTS, 0, pointNum);
glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, 0);
glDisableClientState(GL_POINT_SIZE_ARRAY_OES);
glDisableClientState(GL_VERTEX_ARRAY);
glDisable(GL_TEXTURE_2D);
glDisable(GL_POINT_SPRITE_OES);

Now, I would also like to be able to zoom in, i.e. use glScalef. Is it possible to change the size of the points accordingly without updating the VBO? glPointSize doesn't have any effect, as I'm using GL_POINT_SIZE_ARRAY_OES.

Yes, use glPointParameter with the GL_POINT_DISTANCE_ATTENUATION parameter.

It's quite tricky to get right, though.
