   7    MSAA
   8       Multi-Sampled Anti-Aliasing. A basic anti-aliasing technique that takes
   9       multiple samples of the depth buffer, and uses this information to
  10       smooth the edges of polygons.
  11
  12    TCL
  13       Transform, Clipping, & Lighting. The three stages of preparation in a
  14       rasterizing pipeline prior to the actual rasterization of vertices into
  15       fragments.
  16
  17    NPOT
  18       Non-power-of-two. Usually applied to textures which have at least one
  19       dimension which is not a power of two.
  20
  21    LOD
  22       Level of Detail. Also spelled "LoD." The value that determines when the
  23       switches between mipmaps occur during texture sampling.
  24
  25    GLSL
  26       GL Shading Language. The official, common high-level shader language used
  27       in GL 2.0 and above.
