Dependencies

    EXT_blend_minmax is required
    EXT_blend_subtract affects the number of values of BLEND_EQUATION_EXT

Overview

    Two additional blending equations are specified using the interface
    defined by EXT_blend_minmax.  These equations are similar to the
    MIN_EXT and MAX_EXT blending equations, but the outcome for all four
    color components is determined by a comparison of just the alpha
    component's source and destination values.  These equations are useful
    in image processing and advanced shading algorithms.

    Two additional blending equations are defined.  If BlendEquationEXT is
    called with <mode> set to ALPHA_MIN_EXT, the blending equation becomes

	      /  Cs	As <  Ad
	C' = (
	      \  Cd     As >= Ad

    where C' is the color resulting from the blending operation,
    Cs and Cd are the source and destination colors, and As and Ad
    are the source and destination alpha in particular.

    If BlendEquationEXT is called with <mode> set to ALPHA_MAX_SGIX, the
    blending equation becomes

	      /  Cs	As >  Ad
	C' = (
	      \  Cd     As <= Ad

    In both cases the blending equation is evaluated separately for each
    color component in a quadruplet.

Dependencies on EXT_blend_minmax

    EXT_blend_minmax is required.

Errors

    INVALID_ENUM is generated by BlendEquationEXT if its single parameter
    is not FUNC_ADD_EXT, MIN_EXT, MAX_EXT, FUNC_SUBTRACT_EXT,
    FUNC_REVERSE_SUBTRACT_EXT, ALPHA_MIN_SGIX, or ALPHA_MAX_SGIX.

    INVALID_OPERATION is generated if BlendEquationEXT is executed between
    the execution of Begin and the corresponding execution to End.

New State

    Two new values of BLEND_EQUATION_EXT:

    Get Value		Get Command	Type	Initial Value	Attribute
    ---------		-----------	----	-------------	---------
    BLEND_EQUATION_EXT	GetIntegerv	Z7	FUNC_ADD_EXT	color-buffer
