NAME

       glSampleCoverage - specify multisample coverage parameters

C SPECIFICATION

       void glSampleCoverage(GLclampf value, GLboolean invert);

PARAMETERS

       value
	   Specify a single floating-point sample coverage value. The value is clamped to the range 0 1. The initial value is 1.0.

       invert
	   Specify a single boolean value representing if the coverage masks should be inverted.  GL_TRUE and GL_FALSE are accepted. The initial
	   value is GL_FALSE.

DESCRIPTION

       Multisampling samples a pixel multiple times at various implementation-dependent subpixel locations to generate antialiasing effects.
       Multisampling transparently antialiases points, lines, polygons, and images if it is enabled.

       value is used in constructing a temporary mask used in determining which samples will be used in resolving the final fragment color. This
       mask is bitwise-anded with the coverage mask generated from the multisampling computation. If the invert flag is set, the temporary mask is
       inverted (all bits flipped) and then the bitwise-and is computed.

       If an implementation does not have any multisample buffers available, or multisampling is disabled, rasterization occurs with only a single
       sample computing a pixel's final RGB color.

       Provided an implementation supports multisample buffers, and multisampling is enabled, then a pixel's final color is generated by combining
       several samples per pixel. Each sample contains color, depth, and stencil information, allowing those operations to be performed on each
       sample.
