* This code was designed for the origin to be in the lower-left corner.
*
* Inspired by triangle rasterizer code written by Allen Akin. Thanks Allen!
+ *
+ *
+ * Some notes on rasterization accuracy:
+ *
+ * This code uses fixed point arithmetic (the GLfixed type) to iterate
+ * over the triangle edges and interpolate ancillary data (such as Z,
+ * color, secondary color, etc). The number of fractional bits in
+ * GLfixed and the value of SUB_PIXEL_BITS has a direct bearing on the
+ * accuracy of rasterization.
+ *
+ * If SUB_PIXEL_BITS=4 then we'll snap the vertices to the nearest
+ * 1/16 of a pixel. If we're walking up a long, nearly vertical edge
+ * (dx=1/16, dy=1024) we'll need 4 + 10 = 14 fractional bits in
+ * GLfixed to walk the edge without error. If the maximum viewport
+ * height is 4K pixels, then we'll need 4 + 12 = 16 fractional bits.
+ *
+ * Historically, Mesa has used 11 fractional bits in GLfixed, snaps
+ * vertices to 1/16 pixel and allowed a maximum viewport height of 2K
+ * pixels. 11 fractional bits is actually insufficient for accurately
+ * rasterizing some triangles. More recently, the maximum viewport
+ * height was increased to 4K pixels. Thus, Mesa should be using 16
+ * fractional bits in GLfixed. Unfortunately, there may be some issues
+ * with setting FIXED_FRAC_BITS=16, such as multiplication overflow.
+ * This will have to be examined in some detail...
+ *
+ * For now, if you find rasterization errors, particularly with tall,
+ * sliver triangles, try increasing FIXED_FRAC_BITS and/or decreasing
+ * SUB_PIXEL_BITS.
