Rasterizer

The rasterizer is the main chunk of state controlling how vertices are interpolated into fragments.

flatshade
If set, the provoking vertex of each polygon is used to determine the color of the entire polygon. If not set, the color fragments will be interpolated from each vertex’s color.
scissor
Whether the scissor test is enabled.
poly_stipple_enable
Whether polygon stippling is enabled.
point_smooth
Whether points should be smoothed. Point smoothing turns rectangular points into circles or ovals.
point_sprite
Whether point sprites are enabled.
point_size_per_vertex
Whether vertices have a point size element.
multisample
Whether MSAA is enabled.
line_smooth
Whether lines should be smoothed. Line smoothing is simply anti-aliasing.
line_stipple_enable
Whether line stippling is enabled.
line_stipple_pattern
16-bit bitfield of on/off flags, used to pattern the line stipple.
bypass_vs_clip_and_viewport
Whether the entire TCL pipeline should be bypassed. This implies that vertices are pre-transformed for the viewport, and will not be run through the vertex shader. Note that implementations may still clip away vertices that are not in the viewport.
flatshade_first
Whether the first vertex should be the provoking vertex, for most primitives. If not set, the last vertex is the provoking vertex.
gl_rasterization_rules
Whether the rasterizer should use (0.5, 0.5) pixel centers. When not set, the rasterizer will use (0, 0) for pixel centers.
line_width
The width of lines.
point_size
The size of points, if not specified per-vertex.
point_size_min
The minimum size of points.
point_size_max
The maximum size of points.

Notes

flatshade

The actual interpolated shading algorithm is obviously implementation-dependent, but will usually be Gourard for most hardware.

bypass_vs_clip_and_viewport

When set, this implies that vertices are pre-transformed for the viewport, and will not be run through the vertex shader. Note that implementations may still clip away vertices that are not visible.

flatshade_first

There are several important exceptions to the specification of this rule.

  • PIPE_PRIMITIVE_POLYGON: The provoking vertex is always the first vertex. If the caller wishes to change the provoking vertex, they merely need to rotate the vertices themselves.
  • PIPE_PRIMITIVE_QUAD, PIPE_PRIMITIVE_QUAD_STRIP: This option has no effect; the provoking vertex is always the last vertex.
  • PIPE_PRIMITIVE_TRIANGLE_FAN: When set, the provoking vertex is the second vertex, not the first. This permits each segment of the fan to have a different color.
