Overview

    This extension provides support for converting 422 pixels in host
    memory to 444 pixels as part of the pixel storage operation.

    The pixel unpack storage operation treats a 422 pixel as a 2 element
    format where the first element is C (chrominance) and the second
    element is L (luminance). Luminance is present on all pixels; a full
    chrominance value requires two pixels.

    The pixel pack storage operation converts RGB to a 422 pixel defined as
    a 2 element format where the first element stored is C (chrominance)
    and the second element stored is L (luminance).  Luminance is present
    on all pixels; a full chrominance value requires two pixels.

    Both averaging and non-averaging is supported for green and blue
    assignments for pack and unpack operations.

Additions to Chapter 3 of the 1.2 Specification (Rasterization)

    The four tokens defined by this extension are added to Table 3.6:

      Format Name           Element Meaning and Order   Target Buffer
      -------------------   -------------------------   --------------
      422_EXT                       C, L, C, L              Color
      422_REV_EXT                   L, C, L, C              Color
      422_AVERAGE_EXT               C, L, C, L              Color

      Table 3.6: DrawPixels and ReadPixels formats.  The second column
      gives a description of and the number and order of elements in a
      group.  Unless specified as an index, formats yield components.

    3.6.4 Rasterization of Pixel Rectangles

    [The new formats are added to the discussion of "Conversion to RGB"]

    This step is applied only if <format> is 422_EXT, 422_REV_EXT,
    422_AVERAGE_EXT, or 422_AVERAGE_REV_EXT.  For 422_EXT and
    422_REV_EXT, the assignment of the elements in a group to
    R, G, and B are defined in the following equations:

          Even Pixel           Odd Pixel
        -------------        -------------
         R = L[n*2]           R = L[n*2+1]
         G = C[n*2]           G = C[n*2]
         B = C[n*2+1]         B = C[n*2+1]

    where 0 < n < width/2. If the <width> of the image is odd, then
    the last column of pixels will have an undefined color value.

    For 422_AVERAGE_EXT and 422_AVERAGE_REV_EXT, the assignment of the
    elements in a group to R, G, and B are defined in the following
    equations:

          Even Pixel             Odd Pixel (Averaged)
        -------------        ------------------------------
         R = L[n*2]           R = L[n*2+1]
         G = C[n*2]           G = (C[n*2] + C[n*2+2]) / 2
         B = C[n*2+1]         B = (C[n*2+1] + C[n*2+3]) / 2

    where 0 < n < width/2. If the <width> of the image is odd, then the
    last column of pixels will have an undefined color value.  If the
    pixels at [n*2+2] or [n*2+3] are not present, then the non-averaging
    odd pixel equations are used for that pixel.

Additions to Chapter 4 of the 1.2 Specification (Per-Fragment Operations
and the Framebuffer)

    [The new formats are added to the discussion of "Obtaining Pixels
    from the Framebuffer."]

    [A new section, "Conversion to 422," is added after the section
    "Conversion to L."]

    This step applies only to RGBA component groups, and only if the
    <format> is 422_EXT, 422_REV_EXT, 422_AVERAGE_EXT, or
    422_AVERAGE_REV_EXT.  For 422_EXT, RGB is converted to a 422 pixel
    defined as a 2 element format where the first element stored is
    C (chrominance) and the second element stored is L (luminance).
    For 422_REV_EXT, the first element stored is luminance and the
    second element stored is chrominance.

    Luminance is present on all pixels; only one chrominance value is
    present on each pixel.  The conversion is performed according to the
    following equations.

          Even Pixel           Odd Pixel
        -------------        -------------
         L = R[n*2]           L = R[n*2+1]
         C = G[n*2]           C = B[n*2]

    where 0 < n < width/2.

    For 422_AVERAGE_EXT and 422_AVERAGE_REV_EXT, the calculation of
    the chrominance is performed by averaging adjacent pixel components
    according to the following equations:

             Even Pixel (Averaged)              Odd Pixel (Averaged)
        ------------------------------      -----------------------------
         L = R[n*2]                          L = R[n*2+1]
         C = (G[n*2] + G[n*2+1]) / 2         C = (B[n*2] + B[n*2+1]) / 2

    where 0 < n < width/2.  If the pixel at [n*2+1] is not present, then
    the non-averaging pixel equations are used for that pixel.
