Overview

    The base OpenGL provides clamping such that the texture coordinates are
    limited to exactly the range [0,1].  When a texture coordinate is
    clamped using this algorithm, the texture sampling filter straddles the
    edge of the texture image, taking 1/2 its sample values from within the
    texture image, and the other 1/2 from the texture border.  It is
    sometimes desirable to clamp a texture without requiring a border, and
    without using the constant border color.

    This extension defines a new texture clamping algorithm.
    CLAMP_TO_EDGE_SGIS clamps texture coordinates at all mipmap levels such
    that the texture filter never samples a border texel.  When used with a
    NEAREST or a LINEAR filter, the color returned when clamping is derived
    only from texels at the edge of the texture image.  When used with
    FILTER4 filters, the filter operations of CLAMP_TO_EDGE_SGIS are defined
    but don't result in a nice clamp-to-edge color.

    CLAMP_TO_EDGE_SGIS is supported by 1, 2, and 3-dimensional textures
    only.

Issues

    *   Is the arithmetic for FILTER4 filters correct?  Is this the right
	thing to do?

	Table 3.7: Texture parameters and their values.

    CLAMP_TO_EDGE_SGIS texture clamping is specified by calling
    TexParameteri with <target> set to TEXTURE_1D, TEXTURE_2D, or
    TEXTURE_3D_EXT, <pname> set to TEXTURE_WRAP_S, TEXTURE_WRAP_T,
    or TEXTURE_WRAP_R_EXT, and <param> set to CLAMP_TO_EDGE_SGIS.

    Let [min,max] be the range of a clamped texture coordinate, and let N
    be the size of the 1D, 2D, or 3D texture image in the direction of
    clamping.  Then in all cases

	max = 1 - min

    because the clamping is always symmetric about the [0,1] mapped range of
    a texture coordinate.  When used with NEAREST or LINEAR filters,
    CLAMP_TO_EDGE_SGIS defines a minimum clamping value of

	min = 1 / 2*N

    When used with FILTER4 filters, CLAMP_TO_EDGE_SGIS defines a minimum
    clamping value of

	min = 3 / 2*N,		N > 2

	min = 1/2		N <= 2

Dependencies on EXT_texture3D

    If EXT_texture3D is not implemented, then the references clamping of 3D
    textures in this file are invalid, and references to TEXTURE_WRAP_R_EXT
    should be ignored.

Dependencies on SGIS_texture_filter4

    If SGIS_texture_filter4 is not implemented, then discussions about the
    interaction of filter4 texture filters and the clamping function
    described in this file are invalid, and should be ignored.
