Overview

    This extension provides a means for doing swap or frame synchronous 
    resizing/panning of the area 
    that is to be magnified (or passed through) to the output
    video resolution.  The purpose of this functionality is to provide a
    means of allowing an application to draw into a smaller viewport to
    reduce the time spent doing pixel fill.  This reduced size viewport
    is then magnified up to the video output resolution using the 
    SGIX_video_resize extension.  This extension differs from SGIX_framezoom
    (number 57) in that it is post framebuffer resizing.  Over rendering
    at swap rates and panning at frame rates is possible using frame synchronous
    update instead of swap synchronous update used for the fill reduction case. 

Issues

    This extension currently only works on an InfiniteReality and later 
    high end machines.

Additions to the GLX Specification

    glXBindChannelToWindowSGIX associates a channel with an X window id
    so that when the Xwid is destroyed, the channel input area care 
    revert back to the area before the bind took place.  The other reason
    for this binding is that the bound channel only updates when a swap
    takes place on the associated Xwid (assuming swap sync updates)

    glXChannelRectSGIX sets the input video rectangle that will take
    effect the next swap on the bound did or next frame (based on
    glXChannelRectSyncSGIX setting.) 

    glXQueryChannelRectSGIX returns the actual input area that took
    effect given any hardware constraints on input area placement/size.

    glXQueryChannelDeltasSGIX returns the resolution at which one can
    place and size a video input area. 

    glXChannelRectSyncSGIX configures the system to update video input
    areas on complete swap buffers of bound xwids, or on frame boundries.

Errors

    all SGIX_video_resize commands mentioned here return GLX_BAD_CONTEXT 
    if there is no current GLXContext.

    glXChannelRectSGIX returns GLX_BAD_CONTEXT if the current context is
    not direct, or if there is no current context.

    glXChannelRectSGIX returns GLX_BAD_VALUE if the x,y,w,h rectangle specified 
    does not fit within the channel's rectangle that was current at the time of the 
    glXBindChannelToWindowSGIX call.

    glXBindChannelToWindowSGIX returns GLX_BAD_VALUE if window passed to it
    is invalid.

    all SGIX_video_resize commands mentioned here return GLX_BAD_VALUE
    if the specified channel is invalid or inactive.
