Overview

    This extension adds scale, bias, and clamp to [0, 1] operations to the 
    texture pipeline.
    These operations are applied to the filtered result of a texture lookup,
    before that result is used in the texture environment equations and
    before the texture color lookup table of SGI_texture_color_table, 
    if that extension exists.
    These operations are distinct from the scale, bias, and clamp operations
    that appear in the SGI_color_table extension, which are used to
    define a color lookup table.

    Scale and bias operations on texels can be used to better utilize the
    color resolution of a particular texture internal format (see EXT_texture).

Issues

    *	still missing: GLX protocol, registry number

    * 	RE and IMPACT do not have hardware support for this extension.

Additions to Chapter 3 of the 1.0 Specification (Rasterization)

    A scale or bias is specified using TexParameterfv or
    TexParameteriv with a <pname> of either POST_TEXTURE_FILTER_SCALE_SGIX
    or POST_TEXTURE_FILTER_BIAS_SGIX and with <params> set to an array of 
    four values. The scale or bias values can be queried using 
    GetTexParameterfv or GetTexParameteriv.

    The scale, bias, and clamp operations are applied, in that order,
    directly before the texture environment equations, or, if the 
    SGI_texture_color_table extension exists, directly before the 
    texture color lookup table.  
    The four values for scale (or bias) correspond to the R, G, B, 
    and A scale (or bias) factors.
    These are applied to the corresponding texture components, Rt, Gt,
    Bt, and At, as denoted in the EXT_texture extension.
    Following the scale and bias is a clamp to [0, 1].

    The scale, bias, and clamp operations are effectively disabled by
    setting the four scale values to 1 and the four bias values to 0.
    There is no specific enable or disable token for this extension.

Additions to Chapter 6 of the 1.0 Specification (State and State Requests)

    The specification for "EXT_texture_object" describes the state that
    comprises a texture object.  Here it is rewritten to include the
    scale and bias state:

   "A texture object comprises the image arrays, priority, border color,
    filter modes, and wrap modes that are associated with that object.  More
    explicitly, the state list
    
	TEXTURE,
	TEXTURE_PRIORITY_EXT
	TEXTURE_RED_SIZE,
	TEXTURE_GREEN_SIZE,
	TEXTURE_BLUE_SIZE,
	TEXTURE_ALPHA_SIZE,
	TEXTURE_LUMINANCE_SIZE,
	TEXTURE_INTENSITY_SIZE,
	TEXTURE_WIDTH,
	TEXTURE_HEIGHT,
	TEXTURE_DEPTH_EXT,
	TEXTURE_BORDER,
	TEXTURE_COMPONENTS,
	TEXTURE_BORDER_COLOR,
	TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER,
	TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER,
	TEXTURE_WRAP_S,
	TEXTURE_WRAP_T,
	TEXTURE_WRAP_R_EXT,
	POST_TEXTURE_FILTER_BIAS_SGIX,
	POST_TEXTURE_FILTER_SCALE_SGIX	

    composes a single texture object."

    Since an implementation may have a limited range for the values of scale
    and bias (e.g. due to hardware constraints), this range can be queried.
    The scale or bias range is obtained using GetFloatv (or other Get) with a 
    <value> of POST_TEXTURE_FILTER_SCALE_RANGE_SGIX or 
    POST_TEXTURE_FILTER_BIAS_RANGE_SGIX, respectively. An array of two floats
    is returned.  The first is the minimum value and the second is the maximum 
    value.

Dependencies on EXT_texture

    This extension refers to texture components as Rt, Gt, Bt, and At, 
    as denoted in the EXT_texture extension.

Dependencies on EXT_texture3D

    If EXT_texture3D is not implemented, references to it should be deleted.

Dependencies on EXT_texture_object

    As described above, the scale and bias state is included as part of the
    texture object state.
    If EXT_texture_object is not implemented, references to it should be deleted.

Errors

    POST_TEXTURE_FILTER_BIAS_SGIX and POST_TEXTURE_FILTER_SCALE_SGIX are added 
    to the list of <pname> parameters that are accepted by TexParameter[fi]v 
    and GetTexParameter[fi]v. POST_TEXTURE_FILTER_BIAS_RANGE_SGIX and 
    POST_TEXTURE_FILTER_SCALE_RANGE_SGIX are added to the list of <value> 
    parameters that are accepted by Get.  

New State

    Get Value					Get Command		Type		Initial Value	Attribute
    ---------					-----------		----		-------------	---------

    POST_TEXTURE_FILTER_BIAS_SGIX		GetTexParameterfv	n x 4 x R	(0,0,0,0)	texture
    POST_TEXTURE_FILTER_SCALE_SGIX		GetTexParameterfv	n x 4 x R	(1,1,1,1)	texture

    Note:  The "Type" column shows "n x ..." since this state will appear 
    in each of "n" texture objects defined by EXT_texture_object.
    If EXT_texture_object is not implemented, then this state will appear
    for each texture dimension (e.g. TEXTURE_1D, TEXTURE_2D, ...).

New Implementation Dependent State

    Get Value					Get Command		Type		Minimum Value	Attribute
    ---------					-----------		----		-------------	---------

    POST_TEXTURE_FILTER_BIAS_RANGE_SGIX		GetFloatv		2 x R		(0,1)		-
    POST_TEXTURE_FILTER_SCALE_RANGE_SGIX	GetFloatv		2 x R		(0,1)		-

    Note: The "Minimum Value" for POST_TEXTURE_FILTER_BIAS_RANGE_SGIX and
    POST_TEXTURE_FILTER_SCALE_RANGE_SGIX is listed as a range, which might seem 
    confusing.  What is meant is that an implementation will support at least 
    the range listed.
