Specification Update Policy

    Khronos-approved extension specifications are updated in response to
    issues and bugs prioritized by the Khronos OpenGL Working Group. For
    extensions which have been promoted to a core Specification, fixes will
    first appear in the latest version of that core Specification, and will
    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

Status

    Complete. Approved by ARB on February 16, 2001.

Version

    Last modified date: 2006/11/04

Number

    ARB Extension #19

Dependencies

    This extension is written against the OpenGL 1.2.1 Specification.
    OpenGL 1.1, ARB_multitexture and ARB_texture_env_combine are required 
    for this extension.

Overview

    Adds new operation to the texture combiner operations.

        DOT3_RGB_ARB                    Arg0 <dotprod> Arg1
        DOT3_RGBA_ARB                   Arg0 <dotprod> Arg1

    where Arg0, Arg1 are specified by <params> parameter of 
    TexEnvf, TexEnvi, TexEnvfv, and TexEnviv when the <pname>
    parameter value is SOURCE0_RGB_ARB and SOURCE1_RGB_ARB.
    
Issues

 1. This extension is an ARB version of EXT_texture_env_dot3 which bears
    a copyright by ATI Technologies. Is ATI willing to have the ARB
    go ahead and modify their original spec and use it for the 
    ARB extension.

    - RESOLVED: ATI does not have a problem with the copyright issue.

 2. The EXT version of the spec does not multiply the output by 
    RGB_SCALE_ARB and ALPHA_SCALE_ARB. There is no reason to impose this
    restriction since it makes the scale operations non-orthogonal. 
    Should the enum values for the new tokens in this extension should
    be the same as the original EXT version?

    - RESOLVED: No.

New Procedures and Functions

    None

New Tokens

    Accepted by the <params> parameter of TexEnvf, TexEnvi, TexEnvfv,
    and TexEnviv when the <pname> parameter value is COMBINE_RGB_ARB

        DOT3_RGB_ARB                                    0x86AE
        DOT3_RGBA_ARB                                   0x86AF

Additions to Chapter 2 of the GL Specification (OpenGL Operation)

    None

Additions to Chapter 3 of the GL Specification (Rasterization)

    Added to table 3.20 of the ARB_texture_env_combine spec:

        COMBINE_RGB_ARB         Texture Function
        ---------------         ----------------
        DOT3_RGB_ARB            4*((Arg0_r - 0.5)*(Arg1_r - 0.5) +
                                   (Arg0_g - 0.5)*(Arg1_g - 0.5) +
                                   (Arg0_b - 0.5)*(Arg1_b - 0.5))

                                This value is placed into all three
                                r,g,b components of the output.

        DOT3_RGBA_ARB           4*((Arg0_r - 0.5)*(Arg1_r - 0.5) +
                                   (Arg0_g - 0.5)*(Arg1_g - 0.5) +
                                   (Arg0_b - 0.5)*(Arg1_b - 0.5))

                                This value is placed into all four
                                r,g,b,a components of the output. Note
                                that the result generated from 
                                COMBINE_ALPHA_ARB function is ignored.

Errors

    INVALID_ENUM is generated if <params> value for COMBINE_RGB_ARB
    is not one of REPLACE, MODULATE, ADD, ADD_SIGNED_ARB, 
    INTERPOLATE_ARB, SUBTRACT_ARB, DOT3_RGB_ARB or DOT3_RGBA_ARB.

Revision History
    06/11/04  benj      Updated contact info after ATI/AMD merger.

    01/05/15  bpoddar   Fixed a mistake in the spec - DOT3_RGB_ARB and
                        DOT3_RGBA_ARB are not valid arguments when
                        <pname> parameter is COMBINE_ALPHA_ARB

    01/02/02  bpoddar   Added original EXT/ARB contributors to the contact
                        list

    00/12/13  bpoddar   Added enum values for DOT3_RGB_ARB and DOT3_RGBA_ARB
                        Added resolution to issue # 1.

    00/12/06  bpoddar   Fixed typos - EXT -> ARB, RED_SCALE -> RGB_SCALE

    00/12/01  bpoddar   Created an ARB version of the ARB_texture_env_dot3 
                        by breaking up the proposed ARB_texture_env_combine
                        spec.
