Overview
This extension allows 1D and 2D textures to be filtered using an
application-defined, four sample per dimension filter. (In addition to
the NEAREST and LINEAR filters defined in the original GL Specification.)
Such filtering results in higher image quality. It is defined only
for non-mipmapped filters. The filter that is specified must be
symmetric and separable (in the 2D case).
Issues
* What should the default filter function be?
- Implementation dependent.
* Should this extension define 2-wide texture borders? Do we really
want to aggrandize this border stuff :-(
- No.
* Should this extension define 2D filtering only (and not 1D)?
- No.
* A GLU function that accepts Mitchell parameters and a texture
target should be defined.
* This specification retains a separate filter function description
with every texture. In conjunction with EXT_texture_object, this
may result in a lot of filter functions. Implementations should
optimize for the default filter function to save storage cost.
Reasoning
* The name is changed from "cubic" to "filter4" because the table
allows the specification of filters that are not at all cubic in
nature. A true cubic filter extension would define the filter
function as a cubic polynomial.

TEXTURE_BORDER_COLOR 4 floats any 4 values in [0,1]
Table 3.7: Texture parameters and their values.
Filter4 filtering is specified by calling TexParameteri, TexParameterf,
TexParameteriv, or TexParameterfv with <pname> set to one of
TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER or TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER, and <param> or <params> set to
FILTER4_SGIS. Because filter4 filtering is defined only for
non-mipmapped textures, there is no difference between its definition
for minification and magnification. First consider the 1-dimensional
case. Let T be a computed texture value (one of R_t, G_t, B_t, or A_t).
Let T[i] be the component value of the texel at location i in a
1-dimensional texture image. Then, if the appropriate texture filter
mode is FILTER4_SGIS, a 4-texel group is selected:
/ floor(u - 1/2) mod 2**n, TEXTURE_WRAP_S is REPEAT
i1 = (
\ floor(u - 1/2), TEXTURE_WRAP_S is CLAMP
/ (i1 + 1) mod 2**n, TEXTURE_WRAP_S is REPEAT
i2 = (
\ i1 + 1, TEXTURE_WRAP_S is CLAMP
/ (i1 + 2) mod 2**n, TEXTURE_WRAP_S is REPEAT
i3 = (
\ i1 + 2, TEXTURE_WRAP_S is CLAMP
/ (i1 - 1) mod 2**n, TEXTURE_WRAP_S is REPEAT
i0 = (
\ i1 - 1, TEXTURE_WRAP_S is CLAMP
Let f(x) be the filter weight function of positive distance x. Let
A = frac(u - 1/2)
where frac(x) denotes the fractional part of x, and u is the texture
image coordinate in the s direction, as illustrated in Figure 3.10 of
the GL Specification. Then the texture value T is found as
T = f(1+A) * T[i0] +
f(A) * T[i1] +
f(1-A) * T[i2] +
f(2-A) * T[i3]
If any of the selected T[i] in the above equation refer to a border
texel with unspecified value, then the border color given by the current
setting of TEXTURE_BORDER_COLOR is used instead of the unspecified value.
For 2-dimensional textures the calculations for i0, i1, i2, i3, and A
are identical to the 1-dimensional case. A 16-texel group is selected,
requiring four j values computed as
/ floor(v - 1/2) mod 2**m, TEXTURE_WRAP_T is REPEAT
j1 = (
\ floor(v - 1/2), TEXTURE_WRAP_T is CLAMP
/ (j1 + 1) mod 2**m, TEXTURE_WRAP_T is REPEAT
j2 = (
\ j1 + 1, TEXTURE_WRAP_T is CLAMP
/ (j1 + 2) mod 2**m, TEXTURE_WRAP_T is REPEAT
j3 = (
\ j1 + 2, TEXTURE_WRAP_T is CLAMP
/ (j1 - 1) mod 2**m, TEXTURE_WRAP_T is REPEAT
j0 = (
\ j1 - 1, TEXTURE_WRAP_T is CLAMP
Let
B = frac(v - 1/2)
where v is the texture image coordinate in the t direction, as
illustrated in Figure 3.10 of the GL Specification. Then the texture
value T is found as
T = f(1+A) * f(1+B) * T[i0,j0] +
f(A) * f(1+B) * T[i1,j0] +
f(1-A) * f(1+B) * T[i2,j0] +
f(2-A) * f(1+B) * T[i3,j0] +
f(1+A) * f(B) * T[i0,j1] +
f(A) * f(B) * T[i1,j1] +
f(1-A) * f(B) * T[i2,j1] +
f(2-A) * f(B) * T[i3,j1] +
f(1+A) * f(1-B) * T[i0,j2] +
f(A) * f(1-B) * T[i1,j2] +
f(1-A) * f(1-B) * T[i2,j2] +
f(2-A) * f(1-B) * T[i3,j2] +
f(1+A) * f(2-B) * T[i0,j3] +
f(A) * f(2-B) * T[i1,j3] +
f(1-A) * f(2-B) * T[i2,j3] +
f(2-A) * f(2-B) * T[i3,j3]
If any of the selected T[i,j] in the above equation refer to a border
texel with unspecified value, then the border color given by the current
setting of TEXTURE_BORDER_COLOR is used instead of the unspecified value.
Filter4 texture filtering is currently undefined for 3-dimensional
textures.
Filter function
---------------
The default filter function is implementation dependent. The
filter function is specified in table format by calling
TexFilterFuncSGIS with <target> set to TEXTURE_1D or TEXTURE_2D,
<filter> set to FILTER4_SGIS, and <weights> pointing an array of
<n> floating point values. The value <n> must equal 2**m + 1 for
some nonnegative integer value of m.
The array <weights> contains samples of the filter function f(x),
0<=x<=2. Each element <weights>[i] is the value of
f((2*i)/(<n>-1)), 0<=i<=<n>-1.
The filter function is stored and used by GL as a set of samples
f((2*i)/(Size-1)), 0<=i<=Size-1, where Size is an implementation
dependent constant. If <n> equals Size, the array <weights> is
stored directly in GL state. Otherwise, an implementation
dependent resampling method is used to compute the stored samples.
Size must equal 2**m + 1 for some integer value of m greater than
or equal to 4. The value Size for texture <target> is returned by
<params> when GetTexParameteriv or GetTexParameterfv is called
with <pname> set to TEXTURE_FILTER4_SIZE_SGIS.
Minification vs. Magnification
------------------------------
If the magnification filter is given by FILTER4_SGIS, and the
minification filter is given by NEAREST_MIPMAP_NEAREST or
LINEAR_MIPMAP_NEAREST , then c = 0.5. The parameter c is used to
determine whether minification or magnification filtering is done,
as described in Section 3.8.2 of the GL Specification (Texture
Magnification).
Additions to Chapter 4 of the GL Specification (Per-Fragment Operations
and the Framebuffer)
None
Additions to Chapter 5 of the GL Specification (Special Functions)
GetTexFilterFuncSGIS is not included in display lists.
Additions to Chapter 6 of the GL Specification (State and State Requests)
The filter weights for the filter4 filter associated with a
texture are queried by calling GetTexFilterFuncSGIS with <target>
set to the texture target and <filter> set to FILTER4_SGIS. The
Size weight values are returned in the array <weights>, which must
have at least Size elements. The value Size is an implementation
dependent constant that is queried by the application by calling
GetTexParameteriv or GetTexParameterfv as described above.
Additions to the GLX Specification
None
GLX Protocol
Two new GL commands are added.
The following rendering command is sent to the server as part of
a glXRender request:
TexFilterFuncSGIS
2 16*4n rendering command length
2 2064 rendering command opcode
4 ENUM target
4 ENUM filter
4 INT32 n
n LISTofFLOATS weights
The remaining command is a non-rendering command and as such, is
sent separately (i.e., not as part of a glXRender or glXRenderLarge
request), using the glXVendorPrivateWithReply request:
GetTexFilterFuncSGIS
1 CARD8 opcode (X assigned)
1 17 GLX opcode (glXVendorPrivateWithReply)
2 5 request length
4 4101 vendor specific opcode
4 GLX_CONTEXT_TAG context tag
4 ENUM target
4 ENUM filter
=>
1 1 reply
1 unused
2 CARD16 sequence number
4 m reply length, m = (n==1 ? 0 : n)
4 unused
4 CARD32 n
if (n=1) this follows:
4 FLOAT32 params
12 unused
otherwise this follows:
16 unused
n*4 LISTofFLOAT32 params
Note that n may be zero, indicating that a GL error occurred.
