DESCRIPTION
     glPixelTransfer sets pixel transfer modes that affect the operation of
     subsequent glDrawPixels, glReadPixels, glCopyPixels, glTexImage1D,
     glTexImage2D, glTexImage3DEXT, glTexSubImage1D (or glTexSubImage1DEXT),
     glTexSubImage2D (or glTexSubImage2DEXT), glTexSubImage3DEXT,
     glCopyTexImage1D (or glCopyTexImage1DEXT), glCopyTexImage2D(or
     glCopyTexImage2DEXT), glCopyTexImage3DEXT, glCopyTexSubImage1D (or
     glCopyTexSubImage1DEXT), glCopyTexSubImage2D (or glCopyTexSubImage2DEXT),
     and glCopyTexSubImage3DEXT commands.  The algorithms that are specified
     by pixel transfer modes operate on pixels after they are read from the
     frame buffer (for glReadPixels, glCopyPixels, and the glCopyTex*
     commands) or unpacked from client memory (for glDrawPixels, the
     glTexImage* commands, and the glTexSubImage* commands).  Pixel transfer
     operations happen in the same order, and in the same manner, regardless
     of the command that resulted in the pixel operation.  Pixel storage modes
     (see glPixelStore) control the unpacking of pixels being read from client
     memory, and the packing of pixels being written back into client memory.

     Pixel transfer operations handle four fundamental pixel types:  color,
     color index, depth, and stencil.  Color pixels are made up of four
     floating-point values with unspecified mantissa and exponent sizes,
     scaled such that 0 represents zero intensity and 1 represents full
     intensity.  Color indices comprise a single fixed-point value, with
     unspecified precision to the right of the binary point.  Depth pixels
     comprise a single floating-point value, with unspecified mantissa and
     exponent sizes, scaled such that 0.0 represents the minimum depth buffer
     value, and 1.0 represents the maximum depth buffer value.  Finally,
     stencil pixels comprise a single fixed-point value, with unspecified
     precision to the right of the binary point.

     The pixel transfer operations performed on the four basic pixel types are
     as follows:

     Color       Each of the four color components is multiplied by a scale
                 factor, then added to a bias factor.  That is, the red
                 component is multiplied by GL_RED_SCALE, then added to
                 GL_RED_BIAS; the green component is multiplied by
                 GL_GREEN_SCALE, then added to GL_GREEN_BIAS; the blue
                 component is multiplied by GL_BLUE_SCALE, then added to
                 GL_BLUE_BIAS; and the alpha component is multiplied by
                 GL_ALPHA_SCALE, then added to GL_ALPHA_BIAS.  After all four
                 color components are scaled and biased, each is clamped to
                 the range [0,1].  All color, scale, and bias values are
                 specified with glPixelTransfer.

                 If GL_MAP_COLOR is true, each color component is scaled by
                 the size of the corresponding color-to-color map, then
                 replaced by the contents of that map indexed by the scaled
                 component.  That is, the red component is scaled by
                 GL_PIXEL_MAP_R_TO_R_SIZE, then replaced by the contents of
                 GL_PIXEL_MAP_R_TO_R indexed by itself.  The green component
                 is scaled by GL_PIXEL_MAP_G_TO_G_SIZE, then replaced by the
                 contents of GL_PIXEL_MAP_G_TO_G indexed by itself.  The blue
                 component is scaled by GL_PIXEL_MAP_B_TO_B_SIZE, then
                 replaced by the contents of GL_PIXEL_MAP_B_TO_B indexed by
                 itself.  And the alpha component is scaled by
                 GL_PIXEL_MAP_A_TO_A_SIZE, then replaced by the contents of
                 GL_PIXEL_MAP_A_TO_A indexed by itself.  All components taken
                 from the maps are then clamped to the range [0,1].
                 GL_MAP_COLOR is specified with glPixelTransfer.  The contents
                 of the various maps are specified with glPixelMap.

                 If the SGI_color_table extension is supported,
                 GL_COLOR_TABLE_SGI is enabled, and the width of the color
                 table is non-zero, then its contents are used to replace a
                 subset of the components of each RGBA pixel group, based on
                 the internal format of the table. All the color table lookups
                 introduced by the SGI_color_table extension behave
                 identically:  The color components are first rescaled to the
                 size of the color lookup table to form an index. Then a
                 subset of the components based on the internal format of the
                 table are replaced by the table entry selected by that index.
                 (See glColorTableSGI for more information.)

                 If the EXT_convolution extension is supported, and
                 GL_CONVOLUTION_1D_EXT, GL_CONVOLUTION_2D_EXT, or
                 GL_SEPARABLE_2D_EXT is enabled, the pixels are convolved with
                 a filter kernel, then scaled and biased.  (See
                 glConvolutionFilter1DEXT, glConvolutionFilter2DEXT,
                 glSeparableFilter2DEXT, and glEnable.)  The scale and bias
                 parameters are specified by executing glPixelTransfer with
                 pname equal to GL_POST_CONVOLUTION_RED_SCALE_EXT,
                 GL_POST_CONVOLUTION_GREEN_SCALE_EXT,
                 GL_POST_CONVOLUTION_BLUE_SCALE_EXT,
                 GL_POST_CONVOLUTION_ALPHA_SCALE_EXT,
                 GL_POST_CONVOLUTION_RED_BIAS_EXT,
                 GL_POST_CONVOLUTION_GREEN_BIAS_EXT,
                 GL_POST_CONVOLUTION_BLUE_BIAS_EXT, and
                 GL_POST_CONVOLUTION_ALPHA_BIAS_EXT.  A color lookup is then
                 performed if the SGI_color_table extension is supported and
                 GL_POST_CONVOLUTION_COLOR_TABLE_SGI is enabled.

                 If the SGI_color_matrix extension is supported, then the
                 color components of each pixel are modified by multiplying
                 them with the matrix at the top of the color matrix stack,
                 scaling them by specified values, and then biasing
                 (offsetting) them by specified values.  That is, if the
                 original color components are (R, G, B, A), and the matrix at
                 the top of the color matrix stack is represented by m1, m2,
                 ..., m16, then the modified color components (R', G', B', A')
                 are given by:

                 R' = ((m1*R) + (m5*G) +  (m9*B) + (m13*A))*Rscale + Rbias
                 G' = ((m2*R) + (m6*G) + (m10*B) + (m14*A))*Gscale + Gbias
                 B' = ((m3*R) + (m7*G) + (m11*B) + (m15*A))*Bscale + Bbias
                 A' = ((m4*R) + (m8*G) + (m12*B) + (m16*A))*Ascale + Abias

                 The color matrix is specified using any of the OpenGL matrix
                 commands when the matrix mode (see glMatrixMode) is GL_COLOR.
                 The scale and bias terms are specified by executing
                 glPixelTransfer with pname equal to
                 GL_POST_COLOR_MATRIX_RED_SCALE_SGI,
                 GL_POST_COLOR_MATRIX_GREEN_SCALE_SGI,
                 GL_POST_COLOR_MATRIX_BLUE_SCALE_SGI,
                 GL_POST_COLOR_MATRIX_ALPHA_SCALE_SGI,
                 GL_POST_COLOR_MATRIX_RED_BIAS_SGI,
                 GL_POST_COLOR_MATRIX_GREEN_BIAS_SGI,
                 GL_POST_COLOR_MATRIX_BLUE_BIAS_SGI, or
                 GL_POST_COLOR_MATRIX_ALPHA_BIAS_SGI and param equal to the
                 desired value.
                 A color lookup is also performed after the color matrix
                 operation if the SGI_color_matrix extension is supported, and
                 GL_PROXY_POST_COLOR_MATRIX_COLOR_TABLE_SGI is enabled.

                 If the EXT_histogram extension is supported, and
                 GL_HISTOGRAM_EXT is enabled, the pixels are histogrammed.
                 See glHistogramEXT for more information.

                 If the EXT_histogram extension is supported, and
                 GL_MINMAX_EXT is enabled, the minimum and maximum pixel
                 values are recorded.  See glMinMaxEXT for more information.

     Color index Each color index is shifted left by GL_INDEX_SHIFT bits; any
                 bits beyond the number of fraction bits carried by the
                 fixed-point index are filled with zeros.  If GL_INDEX_SHIFT
                 is negative, the shift is to the right, again zero filled.
                 Then GL_INDEX_OFFSET is added to the index.  GL_INDEX_SHIFT
                 and GL_INDEX_OFFSET are specified with glPixelTransfer.

                 From this point, operation diverges depending on the required
                 format of the resulting pixels.  If the resulting pixels are
                 to be written to a color index buffer, or if they are being
                 read back to client memory in GL_COLOR_INDEX format, the
                 pixels continue to be treated as indices.  If GL_MAP_COLOR is
                                                n
                 true, each index is masked by 2  - 1, where n is
                 GL_PIXEL_MAP_I_TO_I_SIZE, then replaced by the contents of
                 GL_PIXEL_MAP_I_TO_I indexed by the masked value.
                 GL_MAP_COLOR is specified with glPixelTransfer.  The contents
                 of the index map are specified with glPixelMap.

                 If the resulting pixels are to be written to an RGBA color
                 buffer, or if they are being read back to client memory in a
                 format other than GL_COLOR_INDEX, the pixels are converted
                 from indices to colors by referencing the four maps
                 GL_PIXEL_MAP_I_TO_R, GL_PIXEL_MAP_I_TO_G,
                 GL_PIXEL_MAP_I_TO_B, and GL_PIXEL_MAP_I_TO_A.  Before being
                                                       n
                 dereferenced, the index is masked by 2  - 1, where n is
                 GL_PIXEL_MAP_I_TO_R_SIZE for the red map,
                 GL_PIXEL_MAP_I_TO_G_SIZE for the green map,
                 GL_PIXEL_MAP_I_TO_B_SIZE for the blue map, and
                 GL_PIXEL_MAP_I_TO_A_SIZE for the alpha map.  All components
                 taken from the maps are then clamped to the range [0,1].  The
                 contents of the four maps are specified with glPixelMap.

                 The remaining pixel transfer operations described above are
                 then applied to the resulting RGBA components.

     Depth       Each depth value is multiplied by GL_DEPTH_SCALE, added to
                 GL_DEPTH_BIAS, then clamped to the range [0,1].

     Stencil     Each index is shifted GL_INDEX_SHIFT bits just as a color
                 index is, then added to GL_INDEX_OFFSET.  If GL_MAP_STENCIL
                                                   n
                 is true, each index is masked by 2  - 1, where n is
                 GL_PIXEL_MAP_S_TO_S_SIZE, then replaced by the contents of
                 GL_PIXEL_MAP_S_TO_S indexed by the masked value.

     The following table gives the type, initial value, and range of valid
     values for each of the pixel transfer parameters that are set with
     glPixelTransfer.

     glPixelTransferf can be used to set any pixel transfer parameter.  If the
     parameter type is boolean, 0.0 implies false and any other value implies
     true.  If pname is an integer parameter, param is rounded to the nearest
     integer.

     Likewise, glPixelTransferi can also be used to set any of the pixel
     transfer parameters.  Boolean parameters are set to false if param is 0
     and true otherwise.  param is converted to floating point before being
     assigned to real-valued parameters.
NOTES
     If a glDrawPixels, glReadPixels, glCopyPixels, glTexImage1D,
     glTexImage2D, glTexImage3DEXT, glTexSubImage1D (or glTexSubImage1DEXT),
     glTexSubImage2D (or glTexSubImage2DEXT), glTexSubImage3DEXT,
     glCopyTexImage1D (or glCopyTexImage1DEXT), glCopyTexImage2D(or
     glCopyTexImage2DEXT), glCopyTexImage3DEXT, glCopyTexSubImage1D (or
     glCopyTexSubImage1DEXT), glCopyTexSubImage2D (or glCopyTexSubImage2DEXT),
     or glCopyTexSubImage3DEXT command is placed in a display list (see
     glNewList and glCallList), the pixel transfer mode settings in effect
     when the display list is executed are the ones that are used.  They may
     be different from the settings when the command was compiled into the
     display list.

     The color matrix may be used for simple linear color-space conversions.
     However, it is also useful for ``swizzling'' (reordering or duplicating)
     color components.  This is helpful when processing image data that is not
     in one of the native OpenGL formats, or when ``packing'' up to four
     independent channels of luminance data into an RGBA drawable.

     glTexSubImage1D, glTexSubImage2D, glCopyTexImage1D, glCopyTexImage2D,
     glCopyTexSubImage1D, and glCopyTexSubImage2D are available only of the GL
     version is 1.1 or greater.

ERRORS
     GL_INVALID_ENUM is generated if pname is not an accepted value.

     GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if glPixelTransfer is executed between
     the execution of glBegin and the corresponding execution of glEnd.
