eventually be backported to the extension document. This policy is
described in more detail at
https://www.khronos.org/registry/OpenGL/docs/update_policy.php

Overview
This extension provides a mechanism to antialias all GL primitives:
points, lines, polygons, bitmaps, and images. The technique is to
sample all primitives multiple times at each pixel. The color
sample values are resolved to a single, displayable color each time
a pixel is updated, so the antialiasing appears to be automatic at
the application level. Because each sample includes depth and
stencil information, the depth and stencil functions perform
equivalently to the single-sample mode.
An additional buffer, called the multisample buffer, is added to
the framebuffer. Pixel sample values, including color, depth, and
stencil values, are stored in this buffer. When the framebuffer
includes a multisample buffer, it does not also include separate
depth or stencil buffers, even if the multisample buffer does not
store depth or stencil values. Color buffers (left/right, front/
back, and aux) do coexist with the multisample buffer, however.
Multisample antialiasing is most valuable for rendering polygons,
because it requires no sorting for hidden surface elimination, and
it correctly handles adjacent polygons, object silhouettes, and
even intersecting polygons. If only points or lines are being
rendered, the "smooth" antialiasing mechanism provided by the base
GL may result in a higher quality image. This extension is
designed to allow multisample and smooth antialiasing techniques
to be alternated during the rendering of a single scene.

Issues
1. Multiple passes have been taken out. Is this acceptable?
RESOLUTION: Yes. This can be added back with an additional
extension if needed.
2. Would SampleAlphaARB be a better name for the function
SampleMaskARB? If so, the name SAMPLE_MASK_ARB should also be
changed to SAMPLE_ALPHA_ARB.
RESOLUTION: Names containing "mask" were changed to use
"coverage" instead.
3. Should the SampleCoverageARB function be changed to allow
blending between more than two objects?
RESOLUTION: Not addressed by this extension. An additional
extension has been proposed that allows a coverage range for
each object. The coverage range is a min and max value that
can be used to blend multiple objects at different level-of-
detail fading. The SampleCoverageARB function will layer on
this new extension.

Additions to Chapter 2 of the 1.2.1 Specification (OpenGL Operation)
None
Additions to Chapter 3 of the 1.2.1 Specification (Rasterization)
If SAMPLE_BUFFERS_ARB is a value of one, the rasterization of all
GL primitives is changed, and is referred to as multisample
rasterization. Otherwise, primitive rasterization operates as it is
described in the GL specification, and is referred to as single-
sample rasterization. The value of SAMPLE_BUFFERS_ARB is an
implementation dependent constant, and is queried by calling
GetIntegerv with <pname> set to SAMPLE_BUFFERS_ARB. This value is
the same as GLX_SAMPLE_BUFFERS_ARB or WGL_SAMPLE_BUFFERS_ARB for
the visual or pixel format associated with the context.
During multisample rendering the contents of a pixel fragment are
changed in two ways. First, each fragment includes a coverage
value with SAMPLES_ARB bits. The value of SAMPLES_ARB is an
implementation-dependent constant, and is queried by calling
GetIntegerv with <pname> set to SAMPLES_ARB. Second, each fragment
includes SAMPLES_ARB depth values, instead of the single depth
value that is maintained in single-sample rendering mode. Each
pixel fragment thus consists of integer x and y grid coordinates,
a color, SAMPLES_ARB depth values, texture coordinates, and a
coverage value with a maximum of SAMPLES_ARB bits.
The behavior of multisample rasterization is a function of
MULTISAMPLE_ARB, which is enabled and disabled by calling Enable or
Disable, with <cap> set to MULTISAMPLE_ARB. Its value is queried
using IsEnabled, with <cap> set to MULTISAMPLE_ARB.
If MULTISAMPLE_ARB is disabled, multisample rasterization of all
primitives is equivalent to single-sample rasterization, except
that the fragment coverage value is set to full coverage. The
depth values may all be set to the single value that would have
been assigned by single-sample rasterization, or they may be
assigned as described below for multisample rasterization.
If MULTISAMPLE_ARB is enabled, multisample rasterization of all
primitives differs substantially from single-sample rasterization.
It is understood that each pixel in the framebuffer has SAMPLES_ARB
locations associated with it. These locations are exact positions,
rather than regions or areas, and each is referred to as a sample
point. The sample points associated with a pixel may be located
inside or outside of the unit square that is considered to bound
the pixel. Furthermore, the relative locations of sample points
may be identical for each pixel in the framebuffer, or they may
differ.
If the sample locations differ per pixel, they should be aligned to
window, not screen, boundaries. Otherwise rendering results will
be window-position specific. The invariance requirement described
in section 3.1 is relaxed for all enabled multisample rendering,
because the sample locations may be a function of pixel location.
It is not possible to query the actual sample locations of a pixel.
Point Multisample Rasterization
[Insert before section 3.3.1]
If MULTISAMPLE_ARB is enabled, and SAMPLE_BUFFERS_ARB is a value of
one, then points are rasterized using the following algorithm,
regardless of whether point antialiasing (POINT_SMOOTH) is enabled
or disabled. Point rasterization produces a fragment for each
framebuffer pixel with one or more sample points that intersect the
region lying within the circle having diameter equal to the current
point width and centered at the point's (Xw,Yw). Coverage bits
that correspond to sample points that intersect the circular region
are 1, other coverage bits are 0. All depth values of the fragment
are assigned the depth value of the point being rasterized. Other
data associated with each fragment are the data associated with the
point being rasterized.
Point size range and number of gradations are equivalent to those
supported for antialiased points.
Line Multisample Rasterization
[Insert before section 3.4.3]
If MULTISAMPLE_ARB is enabled, and SAMPLE_BUFFERS_ARB is a value of
one, then lines are rasterized using the following algorithm,
regardless of whether line antialiasing (LINE_SMOOTH) is enabled
or disabled. Line rasterization produces a fragment for each
framebuffer pixel with one or more sample points that intersect the
rectangular region that is described in the Antialiasing section of
3.4.2 (Other Line Segment Features). If line stippling is enabled,
the rectangular region is subdivided into adjacent unit-length
rectangles, with some rectangles eliminated according to the
procedure given under Line Stipple, where "fragment" is replaced
by "rectangle".
Coverage bits that correspond to sample points that intersect a
retained rectangle are 1, other coverage bits are 0. Each depth
value is produced by substituting the corresponding sample location
into equation 3.1, then using the result to evaluate equation 3.3.
The data associated with each fragment are otherwise computed by
evaluating equation 3.1 at the fragment center, then substituting
into equation 3.2.
Line width range and number of gradations are equivalent to those
supported for antialiased lines.
Polygon Multisample Rasterization
[Insert before section 3.5.6]
If MULTISAMPLE_ARB is enabled, and SAMPLE_BUFFERS_ARB is a value of
one, then polygons are rasterized using the following algorithm,
regardless of whether polygon antialiasing (POLYGON_SMOOTH) is
enabled or disabled. Polygon rasterization produces a fragment for
each framebuffer pixel with one or more sample points that satisfy
the point sampling criteria described in section 3.5.1, including
the special treatment for sample points that lie on a polygon
boundary edge. If a polygon is culled, based on its orientation
and the CullFace mode, then no fragments are produced during
rasterization. Fragments are culled by the polygon stipple just as
they are for aliased and antialiased polygons.
Coverage bits that correspond to sample points that satisfy the
point sampling criteria are 1, other coverage bits are 0. Each
depth value is produced by substituting the corresponding sample
location into the barycentric equations described in section 3.5.1,
using the approximation to equation 3.4 that omits w components.
The data associated with each fragment are otherwise computed by
barycentric evaluation using the fragment's center point.
The rasterization described above applies only to the FILL state of
PolygonMode. For POINT and LINE, the rasterizations described in
the Point Multisample Rasterization and the Line Multisample
Rasterization sections apply.
Pixel Rectangle Multisample Rasterization
[Insert before section 3.6.5]
If MULTISAMPLE_ARB is enabled, and SAMPLE_BUFFERS_ARB is a value of
one, then pixel rectangles are rasterized using the following
algorithm. Let (Xrp,Yrp) be the current raster position. (If the
current raster position is invalid, then DrawPixels is ignored.)
If a particular group (index or components) is the nth in a row and
belongs to the mth row, consider the region in window coordinates
bounded by the rectangle with corners
(Xrp + Zx*n, Yrp + Zy*m)
and
(Xrp + Zx*(n+1), Yrp + Zy*(m+1))
where Zx and Zy are the pixel zoom factors specified by PixelZoom,
and may each be either positive or negative. A fragment
representing group n,m is produced for each framebuffer pixel with
one or more sample points that lie inside, or on the bottom or
left boundary, of this rectangle. Each fragment so produced takes
its associated data from the group and from the current raster
position, in a manner consistent with the discussion in the
Conversion to Fragments subsection of section 3.6.4 of the GL
specification. All depth sample values are assigned the same
value, taken either from the group (if it is a depth component
group) or from the current raster position (if it is not).
A single pixel rectangle will generate multiple, perhaps very many
fragments for the same framebuffer pixel, depending on the pixel
zoom factors.
Bitmap Multisample Rasterization
[Insert at the end section 3.7]
If MULTISAMPLE_ARB is enabled, and SAMPLE_BUFFERS_ARB is a value of
one, then bitmaps are rasterized using the following algorithm. If
the current raster position is invalid, the bitmap is ignored.
Otherwise, a screen-aligned array of pixel-size rectangles is
constructed, with its lower-left corner at (Xrp,Yrp), and its upper
right corner at (Xrp+w,Yrp+h), where w and h are the width and
height of the bitmap. Rectangles in this array are eliminated if
the corresponding bit in the bitmap is zero, and are retained
otherwise. Bitmap rasterization produces a fragment for each
framebuffer pixel with one or more sample points either inside or
on the bottom or left edge of a retained rectangle.
Coverage bits that correspond to sample points either inside or on
the bottom or left edge of a retained rectangle are 1, other
coverage bits are 0. The associated data for each fragment are
those associated with the current raster position. Once the
fragments have been produced, the current raster position is
updated exactly as it is in the single-sample rasterization case.
Additions to Chapter 4 of the 1.2.1 Specification (Per-Fragment
Operations and the Frame Buffer)
Multisample Fragment Operations
[Insert after section 4.1.2]
This step modifies fragment alpha and coverage values based on the
values of SAMPLE_ALPHA_TO_COVERAGE_ARB, SAMPLE_ALPHA_TO_ONE_ARB,
SAMPLE_COVERAGE_ARB, SAMPLE_COVERAGE_VALUE_ARB, and
SAMPLE_COVERAGE_INVERT_ARB. No changes to the fragment alpha or
coverage values are made at this step if MULTISAMPLE_ARB is
disabled, or if SAMPLE_BUFFERS_ARB is not a value of one.
SAMPLE_ALPHA_TO_COVERAGE_ARB, SAMPLE_ALPHA_TO_ONE_ARB, and
SAMPLE_COVERAGE_ARB are enabled and disabled by calling Enable and
Disable with <cap> specified as one of the three token values. All
three values are queried by calling IsEnabled, with <cap> set to
the desired token value. If SAMPLE_ALPHA_TO_COVERAGE_ARB is
enabled, the fragment alpha value is used to generate a temporary
coverage value, which is then ANDed with the fragment coverage
value. Otherwise the fragment coverage value is unchanged at
this point.
This specification does not require a specific algorithm for
converting an alpha value to a temporary coverage value. It is
intended that the number of 1's in the temporary coverage be
proportional to the alpha value, with all 1's corresponding to the
maximum alpha value, and all 0's corresponding to an alpha value
of 0. It is also intended that the algorithm be pseudo-random in
nature, to avoid image artifacts due to regular coverage sample
locations. The algorithm can and probably should be different
at different pixel locations. If it does differ, it should be
defined relative to window, not screen, coordinates, so that
rendering results are invariant with respect to window position.
Next, if SAMPLE_ALPHA_TO_ONE_ARB is enabled, fragment alpha is
replaced by the maximum representable alpha value. Otherwise,
fragment alpha value is not changed.
Finally, if SAMPLE_COVERAGE_ARB is enabled, the fragment coverage
is ANDed with another temporary coverage. This temporary coverage
is generated in the same manner as the one described above, but as
a function of the value of SAMPLE_COVERAGE_VALUE_ARB. The function
need not be identical, but it must have the same properties of
proportionality and invariance. If SAMPLE_COVERAGE_INVERT_ARB is
TRUE, the temporary coverage is inverted (all bit values are
inverted) before it is ANDed with the fragment coverage.
The values of SAMPLE_COVERAGE_VALUE_ARB and
SAMPLE_COVERAGE_INVERT_ARB are specified simultaneously by calling
SampleCoverageARB, with <value> set to the desired coverage value,
and <invert> set to TRUE or FALSE. <value> is clamped to [0,1]
before being stored as SAMPLE_COVERAGE_VALUE_ARB.
SAMPLE_COVERAGE_VALUE_ARB is queried by calling GetFloatv with
<pname> set to SAMPLE_COVERAGE_VALUE_ARB.
SAMPLE_COVERAGE_INVERT_ARB is queried by calling GetBooleanv with
<pname> set to SAMPLE_COVERAGE_INVERT_ARB.
Multisample Fragment Operations
[Insert after section 4.1.8]
If the DrawBuffers mode is NONE, no change is made to any
multisample or color buffer. Otherwise, fragment processing is as
described below.
If MULTISAMPLE_ARB is enabled, and SAMPLE_BUFFERS_ARB is one, the
stencil test, depth test, blending, and dithering operations
are performed for each pixel sample, rather than just once for each
fragment. Failure of the stencil or depth test results in
termination of the processing of that sample, rather than
discarding of the fragment. All operations are performed on the
color, depth, and stencil values stored in the multisample buffer
(to be described in a following section). The contents of the
color buffers are not modified at this point.
Stencil, depth, blending, and dithering operations are performed
for a pixel sample only if that sample's fragment coverage bit is
a value of 1. If the corresponding coverage bit is 0, no
operations are performed for that sample. Depth operations use
the fragment depth value that is specific for each sample. The
single fragment color value is used for all sample operations,
however, as is the current stencil value.
If MULTISAMPLE_ARB is disabled, and SAMPLE_BUFFERS_ARB is one, the
fragment may be treated exactly as described above, with
optimization possible because the fragment coverage must be set
to full coverage. Further optimization is allowed, however. An
implementation may choose to identify a centermost sample, and to
perform stencil and depth tests on only that sample. Regardless
of the outcome of the stencil test, all multisample buffer stencil
sample values are set to the appropriate new stencil value. If
the depth test passes, all multisample buffer depth sample values
are set to the depth of the fragment's centermost sample's depth
value, and all multisample buffer color sample values are set to
the color value of the incoming fragment. Otherwise, no change is
made to any multisample buffer color or depth value.
After all operations have been completed on the multisample buffer,
the color sample values are combined to produce a single color
value, and that value is written into each color buffer that is
currently enabled, based on the DrawBuffers mode. An
implementation may defer the writing of the color buffer until a
later time, but the state of the framebuffer must behave as if the
color buffer was updated as each fragment was processed. The
method of combination is not specified, though a simple average
computed independently for each color component is recommended.
Fine Control of Multisample Buffer Updates
[Insert at the end of section 4.2.2]
When SAMPLE_BUFFERS_ARB is one, ColorMask, DepthMask, and
StencilMask control the modification of values in the multisample
buffer. The color mask has no effect on modifications to the color
buffers. If the color mask is entirely disabled, the color sample
values must still be combined (as described above) and the result
used to replace the color values of the buffers enabled by
DrawBuffers.
Clearing the Multisample Buffer
[Insert as a subsection for section 4.2.3]
The color samples of the multisample buffer are cleared when one or
more color buffers are cleared, as specified by the Clear mask bit
COLOR_BUFFER_BIT and the DrawBuffers mode. If the DrawBuffers mode
is NONE, the color samples of the multisample buffer cannot be
cleared.
Clear mask bits DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT and STENCIL_BUFFER_BIT indicate
that the depth and stencil samples of the multisample buffer are to
be cleared. If Clear mask bit DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT is specified, and
if the DrawBuffers mode is not NONE, then the multisample depth
buffer samples are cleared. Likewise, if Clear mask bit
STENCIL_BUFFER_BIT is specified, and if the DrawBuffers mode is
not NONE, then the multisample stencil buffer is cleared.
Reading Pixels
[These changes are made to the text in section 4.3.2, following the
subheading Obtaining Pixels from the Framebuffer.]
Follow the sentence "If there is no depth buffer, the error
INVALID_OPERATION occurs." with: If there is a multisample buffer
(SAMPLE_BUFFERS_ARB is 1) then values are obtained from the depth
samples in this buffer. It is recommended that the depth value
of the centermost sample be used, though implementations may choose
any function of the depth sample values at each pixel.
Follow the sentence "if there is no stencil buffer, the error
INVALID_OPERATION occurs." with: If there is a multisample buffer,
then values are obtained from the stencil samples in this buffer.
It is recommended that the stencil value of the centermost sample
be used, though implementations may choose any function of the
stencil sample values at each pixel.
[This extension makes no change to the way that color values are
obtained from the framebuffer.]
Additions to Chapter 5 of the 1.2.1 Specification (Special Functions)
None
Additions to Chapter 6 of the 1.2 Specification (State and State
Requests)
An additional group of state variables, MULTISAMPLE_BIT_ARB, is
defined by this extension. When PushAttrib is called with bit
MULTISAMPLE_BIT_ARB set, the multisample group of state variables
is pushed onto the attribute stack. When PopAttrib is called,
these state variables are restored to their previous values if
they were pushed. Some multisample state is included in the
ENABLE_BIT group as well. In order to avoid incompatibility with
GL implementations that do not support SGIS_multisample,
ALL_ATTRIB_BITS does not include MULTISAMPLE_BIT_ARB.
Additions to the GLX Specification
The parameter GLX_SAMPLE_BUFFERS_ARB is added to glXGetConfig.
When queried, by calling glXGetConfig with <attrib> set to
GLX_SAMPLE_BUFFERS_ARB, it returns the number of multisample
buffers included in the visual. For a normal visual, the return
value is zero. A return value of one indicates that a single
multisample buffer is available. The number of samples per pixel
is queried by calling glXGetConfig with <attrib> set to
GLX_SAMPLES_ARB. It is understood that the number of color, depth,
and stencil bits per sample in the multisample buffer are as
specified by the GLX_*_SIZE parameters. It is also understood that
there are no single-sample depth or stencil buffers associated with
this visual -- the only depth and stencil buffers are those in the
multisample buffer. GLX_SAMPLES_ARB is zero if
GLX_SAMPLE_BUFFERS_ARB is zero.
glXChooseVisual accepts GLX_SAMPLE_BUFFERS_ARB in <attribList>,
followed by the minimum number of multisample buffers that can be
accepted. Visuals with the smallest number of multisample buffers
that meets or exceeds the specified minimum number are preferred.
Currently operation with more than one multisample buffer is
undefined, so the returned value will be either zero or one.
glXChooseVisual accepts GLX_SAMPLES_ARB in <attribList>, followed
by the minimum number of samples that can be accepted in the
multisample buffer. Visuals with the smallest number of samples
that meets or exceeds the specified minimum number are preferred.
If the color samples in the multisample buffer store fewer bits
than are stored in the color buffers, this fact will not be
reported accurately. Presumably a compression scheme is being
employed, and is expected to maintain an aggregate resolution
equal to that of the color buffers.
GLX Protocol
One new GL rendering commands is added. The following command is
sent to the server as part of a glXRender request:
SampleCoverageARB
2 12 rendering command length
2 229 rendering command opcode
4 FLOAT32 value
1 BOOL invert
3 unused
Additions to the WGL Specification
The parameter WGL_SAMPLE_BUFFERS_ARB is added to
wglGetPixelFormatAttrib*v. When queried, by calling
wglGetPixelFormatAttrib*v with <piAttributes> set to
WGL_SAMPLE_BUFFERS_ARB, it returns the number of multisample
buffers included in the pixel format. For a normal pixel format,
the return value is zero. A return value of one indicates that a
single multisample buffer is available. The number of samples per
pixel is queried by calling wglGetPixelFormatAttrib*v with
<piAttributes> set to WGL_SAMPLES_ARB. It is understood that the
number of color, depth, and stencil bits per sample in the
multisample buffer are as specified by the WGL_*_SIZE parameters.
It is also understood that there are no single-sample depth or
stencil buffers associated with this visual -- the only depth and
stencil buffers are those in the multisample buffer.
WGL_SAMPLES_ARB is zero if WGL_SAMPLE_BUFFERS_ARB is zero.
wglChoosePixelFormatEXT accepts WGL_SAMPLE_BUFFERS_ARB in
<piAttribIList> and <pfAttribIList> with the corresponding value
set to the minimum number of multisample buffers that can be
accepted. Pixel formats with the smallest number of multisample
buffers that meets or exceeds the specified minimum number are
preferred. Currently operation with more than one multisample
buffer is undefined, so the returned value will be either zero or
one.
If the color samples in the multisample buffer store fewer bits
than are stored in the color buffers, this fact will not be
reported accurately. Presumably a compression scheme is being
employed, and is expected to maintain an aggregate resolution
equal to that of the color buffers.
Errors
INVALID_OPERATION is generated if SampleCoverageARB is called
between the execution of Begin and the execution of the
corresponding End.
