Dependencies

    The extension is written against the OpenGL 1.3 Specification. 

Overview

  This extension defines a new accumulation operation which enables the accumulation
  buffer to be used for alpha compositing. This enables higher precision alpha
  blending than what can be accomplished using the blend operation.

    Section 4.2.4 The Accumulation Buffer:

    The possible operations are ACCUM, LOAD, RETURN, MULT, ADD and SLICE_ACCUM_SUN.

    The SLICE_ACCUM_SUN operation has the same effect as ACCUM except that the
    accumulation buffer color value is computed:

    AccumRGB = (FrameBuffAlpha * FrameBuffRGB) + ((1 - FrameBuffAlpha) * AccumRGB)
