homeprevnext Overview
  
    This extension extends the EXT_framebuffer_object framework to  
    enable multisample rendering.  
  
    The new operation RenderbufferStorageMultisampleEXT() allocates  
    storage for a renderbuffer object that can be used as a multisample  
    buffer.  A multisample render buffer image differs from a  
    single-sample render buffer image in that a multisample image has a  
    number of SAMPLES that is greater than zero.  No method is provided  
    for creating multisample texture images.  
  
    All of the framebuffer-attachable images attached to a framebuffer  
    object must have the same number of SAMPLES or else the framebuffer  
    object is not "framebuffer complete".  If a framebuffer object with  
    multisample attachments is "framebuffer complete", then the  
    framebuffer object behaves as if SAMPLE_BUFFERS is one.  
  
    In traditional multisample rendering, where  
    DRAW_FRAMEBUFFER_BINDING_EXT is zero and SAMPLE_BUFFERS is one, the  
    GL spec states that "the color sample values are resolved to a  
    single, displayable color each time a pixel is updated."  There are,  
    however, several modern hardware implementations that do not  
    actually resolve for each sample update, but instead postpones the  
    resolve operation to a later time and resolve a batch of sample  
    updates at a time.  This is OK as long as the implementation behaves  
    "as if" it had resolved a sample-at-a-time. Unfortunately, however,  
    honoring the "as if" rule can sometimes degrade performance.  
  
    In contrast, when DRAW_FRAMEBUFFER_BINDING_EXT is an  
    application-created framebuffer object, MULTISAMPLE is enabled, and  
    SAMPLE_BUFFERS is one, there is no implicit per-sample-update  
    resolve.  Instead, the application explicitly controls when the  
    resolve operation is performed.  The resolve operation is affected  
    by calling BlitFramebufferEXT (provided by the EXT_framebuffer_blit  
    extension) where the source is a multisample application-created  
    framebuffer object and the destination is a single-sample  
    framebuffer object (either application-created or window-system  
    provided).  
  
    This design for multisample resolve more closely matches current  
    hardware, but still permits implementations which choose to resolve  
    a single sample at a time.  If hardware that implementes the  
    multisample resololution "one sample at a time" exposes  
    EXT_framebuffer_multisample, it could perform the implicit resolve  
    to a driver-managed hidden surface, then read from that surface when  
    the application calls BlitFramebufferEXT.  
  
    Another motivation for granting the application explicit control  
    over the multisample resolve operation has to do with the  
    flexibility afforded by EXT_framebuffer_object.  Previously, a  
    drawable (window or pbuffer) had exclusive access to all of its  
    buffers.  There was no mechanism for sharing a buffer across  
    multiple drawables.  Under EXT_framebuffer_object, however, a  
    mechanism exists for sharing a framebuffer-attachable image across  
    several framebuffer objects, as well as sharing an image between a  
    framebuffer object and a texture.  If we had retained the "implicit"  
    resolve from traditional multisampled rendering, and allowed the  
    creation of "multisample" format renderbuffers, then this type of  
    sharing would have lead to two problematic situations:  
  
      * Two contexts, which shared renderbuffers, might perform  
        competing resolve operations into the same single-sample buffer  
        with ambiguous results.  
  
      * It would have introduced the unfortunate ability to use the  
        single-sample buffer as a texture while MULTISAMPLE is ENABLED.  
  
    By using the BlitFramebufferEXT from EXT_framebuffer_blit as an  
    explicit resolve to serialize access to the multisampeld contents  
    and eliminate the implicit per-sample resolve operation, we avoid  
    both of these problems.

homeprevnext Additions to Chapter 3 of the OpenGL 1.5 Specification (Rasterization)
  
homeprevnext Additions to Chapter 4 of the OpenGL 1.5 Specification (Per-Fragment Operations and the Framebuffer)
  
Add to 4.3.2 (Reading Pixels), right before the subsection titled  
"Obtaining Pixels form the Framebuffer":  
  
    "ReadPixels generates INVALID_OPERATION if READ_FRAMEBUFFER_BINDING  
    (section 4.4) is non-zero, the read framebuffer is framebuffer  
    complete, and the value of SAMPLE_BUFFERS for the read framebuffer  
    is greater than zero."  
  
Modify the following text to section 4.3.3, page 194, that was added to  
the definition of CopyPixels by EXT_framebuffer_blit:  
  
    "Finally, the behavior of several GL operations is specified "as if  
    the arguments were passed to CopyPixels."  These operations include:  
    CopyTex{Sub}Image*, CopyColor{Sub}Table, and CopyConvolutionFilter*.  
    INVALID_FRAMEBUFFER_OPERATION_EXT will be generated if an attempt is  
    made to execute one of these operations, or CopyPixels, while the  
    object bound to READ_FRAMEBUFFER_BINDING_EXT (section 4.4) is not  
    "framebuffer complete" (as defined in section 4.4.4.2).  
    INVALID_OPERATION will be generated if the object bound to  
    READ_FRAMEBUFFER_BINDING_EXT is "framebuffer complete" and the value  
    of SAMPLE_BUFFERS is greater than zero.  
  
    Furthermore, an attempt to execute CopyPixels will generate  
    INVALID_FRAMEBUFFER_OPERATION_EXT while the object bound to  
    DRAW_FRAMEBUFFER_BINDING_EXT (section 4.4) is not "framebuffer  
    complete".  
  
In 4.3.3 (Copying Pixels), add to the section describing BlitFramebuffer  
that was added by EXT_framebuffer_blit.  
  
    "If SAMPLE_BUFFERS for the read framebuffer is greater than zero and  
    SAMPLE_BUFFERS for the draw framebuffer is zero, the samples  
    corresponding to each pixel location in the source are converted to  
    a single sample before being written to the destination.  
  
    If SAMPLE_BUFFERS for the read framebuffer is zero and  
    SAMPLE_BUFFERS for the draw framebuffer is greater than zero, the  
    value of the source sample is replicated in each of the destination  
    samples.  
  
    If SAMPLE_BUFFERS for both the read and draw framebuffers are  
    greater than zero, and the values of SAMPLES for the read and draw  
    framebuffers are identical, the samples are copied without  
    modification from the read framebuffer to the draw framebuffer.  
    Otherwise, no copy is performed and an INVALID_OPERATION error is  
    generated.  
  
    Furthermore, if SAMPLE_BUFFERS for either the read framebuffer or  
    draw framebuffer is greater than zero, no copy is performed and an  
    INVALID_OPERATION error is generated if the dimensions of the source  
    and destination rectangles provided to BlitFramebuffer are not  
    identical, or if the formats of the read and draw framebuffers are  
    not identical."  
  
Modification to 4.4.2.1 (Renderbuffer Objects)  
  
    Add, just above the definition of RenderbufferStorageEXT:  
  
    "The command  
  
        void RenderbufferStorageMultisampleEXT(  
            enum target, sizei samples,  
            enum internalformat,  
            sizei width, sizei height);  
  
    establishes the data storage, format, dimensions, and number of  
    samples of a renderbuffer object's image.  <target> must be  
    RENDERBUFFER_EXT.  <internalformat> must be RGB, RGBA,  
    DEPTH_COMPONENT, STENCIL_INDEX, or one of the internal formats from  
    table 3.16 or table 2.nnn that has a base internal format of RGB,  
    RGBA, DEPTH_COMPONENT, or STENCIL_INDEX.  <width> and <height> are  
    the dimensions in pixels of the renderbuffer.  If either <width> or  
    <height> is greater than MAX_RENDERBUFFER_SIZE_EXT, or if <samples>  
    is greater than MAX_SAMPLES_EXT, then the error INVALID_VALUE is  
    generated. If the GL is unable to create a data store of the  
    requested size, the error OUT_OF_MEMORY is generated.  
  
    Upon success, RenderbufferStorageMultisampleEXT deletes any existing  
    data store for the renderbuffer image and the contents of the data  
    store after calling RenderbufferStorageMultisampleEXT are undefined.  
    RENDERBUFFER_WIDTH_EXT is set to <width>, RENDERBUFFER_HEIGHT_EXT is  
    set to <height>, and RENDERBUFFER_INTERNAL_FORMAT_EXT is set to  
    <internalformat>.  
  
    If <samples> is zero, then RENDERBUFFER_SAMPLES_EXT is set to zero.  
    Otherwise <samples> represents a request for a desired minimum  
    number of samples. Since different implementations may support  
    different sample counts for multisampled rendering, the actual  
    number of samples allocated for the renderbuffer image is  
    implementation dependent.  However, the resulting value for  
    RENDERBUFFER_SAMPLES_EXT is guaranteed to be greater than or equal  
    to <samples> and no more than the next larger sample count supported  
    by the implementation.

    A GL implementation may vary its allocation of internal component  
    resolution based on any RenderbufferStorage parameter (except  
    target), but the allocation and chosen internal format must not be a  
    function of any other state and cannot be changed once they are  
    established."  
  
    Modify the definiton of RenderbufferStorageEXT as follows:  
  
    "The command  
  
        void RenderbufferStorageEXT(enum target, enum internalformat,  
                                    sizei width, sizei height);  
  
     is equivalent to calling RenderbufferStorageMultisampleEXT with  
     <samples> equal to zero."  
  
Modification to 4.4.4.2 (Framebuffer Completeness)  
  
    Add an entry to the bullet list:  
  
    * The value of RENDERBUFFER_SAMPLES_EXT is the same for all attached  
      images.  
      { FRAMEBUFFER_INCOMPLETE_MULTISAMPLE_EXT }  
  
    Also add a paragraph to the end of the section:  
  
    "The values of SAMPLE_BUFFERS and SAMPLES are derived from the  
    attachments of the currently bound framebuffer object.  If the  
    current DRAW_FRAMEBUFFER_BINDING_EXT is not "framebuffer complete",  
    then both SAMPLE_BUFFERS and SAMPLES are undefined.  Otherwise,  
    SAMPLES is equal to the value of RENDERBUFFER_SAMPLES_EXT for the  
    attached images (which all must have the same value for  
    RENDERBUFFER_SAMPLES_EXT).  Further, SAMPLE_BUFFERS is one if  
    SAMPLES is non-zero.  Otherwise, SAMPLE_BUFFERS is zero.  
  
homeprevnext Additions to Chapter 5 of the OpenGL 1.5 Specification (Special Functions)
  
    Added to section 5.4, as part of the discussion of which commands  
    are not compiled into display lists:  
  
    "Certain commands, when called while compiling a display list, are  
    not compiled into the display list but are executed immediately.  
    These are: ..., RenderbufferStorageMultisampleEXT..."  
  
homeprevnext Additions to Chapter 6 of the OpenGL 1.5 Specification (State and State Requests)
  
Modification to 6.1.3 (Enumerated Queries):  
  
    In the list of state query functions, modify the definition of  
    GetRenderbufferParameterivEXT as follows:  
  
    "void GetRenderbufferParameterivEXT(enum target, enum pname,  
                                       int* params);  
  
        <target> must be RENDERBUFFER_EXT.  <pname> must be one of the  
        symbolic values in table 8.nnn.  
  
        If the renderbuffer currently bound to <target> is zero, then  
        INVALID_OPERATION is generated.  
  
        Upon successful return from GetRenderbufferParameterivEXT, if  
        <pname> is RENDERBUFFER_WIDTH_EXT, RENDERBUFFER_HEIGHT_EXT,  
        RENDERBUFFER_INTERNAL_FORMAT_EXT, or RENDERBUFFER_SAMPLES_EXT,  
        then <params> will contain the width in pixels, height in  
        pixels, internal format, or number of samples, respectively, of  
        the renderbuffer currently bound to <target>.  
  
        Otherwise, INVALID_ENUM is generated."

homeprevnext Dependencies on EXT_framebuffer_object
  
    EXT_framebuffer_object is required.  
      
homeprevnext Dependencies on EXT_framebuffer_blit
  
    EXT_framebuffer_blit is required.  Technically, EXT_framebuffer_blit  
    would not be required to support multisampled rendering, except for  
    the fact that it provides the only method of doing a multisample  
    resovle from a multisample renderbuffer.  
  
homeprevnext Errors
  
    The error INVALID_OPERATION_EXT is generated if ReadPixels,  
    CopyPixels, CopyTex{Sub}Image*, CopyColor{Sub}Table, or  
    CopyConvolutionFilter* is called while READ_FRAMEBUFFER_BINDING_EXT  
    is non-zero, the read framebuffer is framebuffer complete, and the  
    value of SAMPLE_BUFFERS for the read framebuffer is greater than  
    zero.  
  
    The error OUT_OF_MEMORY is generated when  
    RenderbufferStorageMultisampleEXT cannot create storage of the  
    specified size.  
  
    If both the draw and read framebuffers are framebuffer complete and  
    both have a value of SAMPLE_BUFFERS that is greater than zero, then  
    the error INVALID_OPERATION is generated if BlitFramebufferEXT is  
    called and the values of SAMPLES for the draw and read framebuffers  
    do not match.  
  
    If both the draw and read framebuffers are framebuffer complete and  
    either has a value of SAMPLE_BUFFERS that is greater than zero, then  
    the error INVALID_OPERATION is generated if BlitFramebufferEXT is  
    called and the formats of the draw and read framebuffers are not  
    identical.  
  
    If either the draw or read framebuffer is framebuffer complete and  
    has a value of SAMPLE_BUFFERS that is greater than zero, then the  
    error INVALID_OPERATION is generated if BlitFramebufferEXT is called  
    and the specified source and destination dimensions are not  
    identical.  
  
    If RenderbufferStorageMultisampleEXT is called with a value of  
    <samples> that is greater than MAX_SAMPLES_EXT, then the error  
    INVALID_VALUE is generated.

homeprevnext Issues
  
    (1)  Should this be a separate extension or should it be included in  
         a revision of EXT_framebuffer_object?  
  
         RESOLVED, separate extension  
           
            Resolved by consensus, May 9, 2005  
           
         This extension requires EXT_framebuffer_object but the reverse  
         is not true.  In addition, the cross framebuffer copy operation  
         that will be used to handle the multisample resolution  
         operation may be generally useful for non-multisampled  
         rendering, but is pretty much required for multisampled  
         rendering to be useful.  Since we don't want  
         EXT_framebuffer_object to require that functionality either, we  
         split EXT_framebuffer_multisample into its own extension.  
         EXT_framebuffer_multisample might include the "cross  
         framebuffer copy" operation or might simply require the  
         presence of that third extension.  See issue (8).  
  
    (2)  What happens when <samples> is zero or one?  
  
         RESOLVED, 0 = single sample, 1 = minimum multisample  
  
            Resolved by consensus, May 9, 2005  
  
         Zero means single sample, as if RenderbufferStorageEXT had been  
         called instead of RenderbufferStorageMultisampleEXT.  One means  
         minimum number of samples supported by implementation.  
  
         There was a question if one should mean the same thing as  
         single-sample (one sample), or if it should mean the minimum  
         supported number of samples for multisample rendering.  The  
         rules for rasterizing in "multisample" mode are different than  
         "non-multisample" mode.  In the end, we decided that some  
         implementations may wish to support a "one-sample" multisample  
         buffer to allow for multipass multisampling where the sample  
         location can be varied either by the implementation or perhaps  
         explicitly by a "multisample location" extension.  
  
    (3)  Is ReadPixels (or CopyPixels or CopyTexImage) permitted when  
         bound to a multisample framebuffer object?  
  
         RESOLVED, no  
           
             Resolved by consensus, prior to May 9, 2005  
  
         No, those operations will produce INVALID_OPERATION.  To read  
         the contents of a multisample framebuffer, it must first be  
         "downsampled" into a non-multisample destination, then read  
         from there.  For downsample, see EXT_framebuffer_blit.  
  
         The concern is fallback due to out of memory conditions.  Even  
         if no memory is available to allocate a temporary buffer at the  
         time ReadPixels is called, an implementation should be able to  
         make this work by pre-allocating a small tile and doing the  
         downsample in tiles, or by falling back to software to copy a  
         pixel at a time.  
  
    (4)  Does the resolution from <samples> to RENDERBUFFER_SAMPLES_EXT  
         depend on any other parameters to  
         RenderbufferStorageMultisampleEXT, or must a given value of  
         <samples> always resolve to the same number of actual samples?  
  
         RESOLVED, no, further, user must get at least what they asked  
         for, or Storage call fails:  
  
            Resolved by consensus, May 23, 2005  
  
           
         Given the routine,  
          
            void RenderbufferStorageMultisampleEXT(  
                    enum target, uint samples,  
                    enum internalformat,  
                    uint width, uint height);  
          
         If an implementation supports several sample counts (say, 2x,  
         4x, 8x multisample), and the user requests a sample count of  
         <samples>, the implementation must do one of the following:  
           
            - succeed in giving the user exactly <samples>, or  
  
            - succeed in giving the user a number of samples greater  
              than <samples> but no more than the next highest number of  
              samples supported by the implementation, or  
  
            - fail the request to RenderbufferStorageMultisampleEXT with  
              an OUT_OF_MEMORY error  
  
    (5)  Is an implementation allowed to create single-sample storage  
         when RenderbufferStorageMultisampleEXT is called with <samples>  
         larger than one?  
  
         RESOLVED, no  
  
            Resolved by consensus, May 23, 2005  
              
            No, by resolution of issue (4) above, the user must get at  
            least what they asked for or higher, which precludes getting  
            a single sampled format if they asked for a multisampled  
            format.  
  
    (6)  Should OUT_OF_MEMORY be generated when  
         RenderbufferStorageMultisampleEXT cannot create storage of the  
         requested size?  
  
         RESOLVED, yes  
  
            Resolved by consensus, May 23, 2005  
      
         Yes.  Success or failure is determined by <width>, <height>,  
         <internalformat>, and <samples>, and the implementation can  
         always return OUT_OF_MEMORY. Note that while an implementation  
         may give a different internal format with either higher or  
         lower resolution per component than the internal requested, by  
         issue of resolution (4), it must give at least the number of  
         samples requested or it must fail the  
         RenderbufferStorageMultisampleEXT call.  
           
             Update from June 2006 ARB meeting:  
               
             The appropriate error for the case where the number of  
             samples is larger than the maximum supported by the  
             implementation is INVALID_VALUE.  To allow an application  
             to know the maximum legal value, we add a GetInteger query  
             MAX_SAMPLES.  
  
    (7)  Is there a query for the maximum size of <samples>?  
  
         RESOLVED, Yes  
  
         There was some discussion about whether it was useful to return  
         a maximum sample count supported by the implementation as a  
         convenenience to the developer so that the developer doesn't  
         need to try increasingly smaller counts until it finds one that  
         succeeds.  Originally this query was ommitted, but later it was  
         added (MAX_SAMPLES_EXT).  
  
    (8)  Does this extension require our new framebuffer-to-framebuffer  
         copy extension, EXT_framebuffer_blit, or is it merely affected  
         by the presence of that extension.  
           
         RESOLVED, EXT_framebuffer_blit is required.  
           
         EXT_framebuffer_multisample by itself enable the user to  
         perform multisampled rendering.  However, you can't copy or  
         read from a multisampled renderbuffer using {Read|Copy}Pixels  
         or CopyTex{Sub}Image - as per issue (3).  Consequently, there  
         is no way to actually use the results of multisampled rendering  
         without EXT_framebuffer_blit.  That makes the  
         EXT_framebuffer_multisample extension arguably kind of useless  
         without the EXT_framebuffer_blit.  
           
         However, the reverse is not true.  The EXT_framebuffer_blit is  
         useful on its own, which is why it is a separate extension from  
         this one.  
           
         So we decided to state that EXT_framebuffer_multisample  
         requires EXT_framebuffer_blit instead of merely stating that  
         that extension affects this one.  
  
    (9)  Is DrawPixels allowed when the draw framebuffer is multisample?  
  
         RESOLVED, yes  
  
         This is no different than DrawPixels to a multisample window  
         (framebuffer zero).  Note that ReadPixels and CopyPixels are  
         disallowed when the read framebuffer is multisample.
