Rasterizer
==========
-The rasterizer is the main chunk of state controlling how vertices are
-interpolated into fragments.
+The rasterizer state controls the rendering of points, lines and triangles.
+Attributes include polygon culling state, line width, line stipple,
+multisample state, scissoring and flat/smooth shading.

flatshade
^^^^^^^^^
+If set, the provoking vertex of each polygon is used to determine the color
+of the entire polygon. If not set, fragment colors will be interpolated
+between the vertex colors.
+
The actual interpolated shading algorithm is obviously
implementation-dependent, but will usually be Gourard for most hardware.
-bypass_vs_clip_and_viewport
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+.. note::
+
+ This is separate from the fragment shader input attributes
+ CONSTANT, LINEAR and PERSPECTIVE. The flatshade state is needed at
+ clipping time to determine how to set the color of new vertices.
-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.
+ :ref:`Draw` can implement flat shading by copying the provoking vertex
+ color to all the other vertices in the primitive.
flatshade_first
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Whether the first vertex should be the provoking vertex, for most primitives.
+If not set, the last vertex is the provoking vertex.
+
There are several important exceptions to the specification of this rule.
* ``PIPE_PRIMITIVE_POLYGON``: The provoking vertex is always the first
* ``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.
+
+Points
+------
+
+sprite_coord_enable
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Specifies if a texture unit has its texture coordinates replaced or not. This
+is a packed bitfield containing the enable for all texcoords -- if all bits
+are zero, point sprites are effectively disabled. If any bit is set, then
+point_smooth and point_quad_rasterization are ignored; point smoothing is
+disabled and points are always rasterized as quads. If enabled, the four
+vertices of the resulting quad will be assigned texture coordinates,
+according to sprite_coord_mode.
+
+sprite_coord_mode
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Specifies how the value for each shader output should be computed when drawing
+point sprites. For PIPE_SPRITE_COORD_LOWER_LEFT, the lower-left vertex will
+have coordinates (0,0,0,1). For PIPE_SPRITE_COORD_UPPER_LEFT, the upper-left
+vertex will have coordinates (0,0,0,1).
+This state is used by :ref:`Draw` to generate texcoords.
+
+.. note::
+
+ When geometry shaders are available, a special geometry shader could be
+ used instead of this functionality, to convert incoming points into quads
+ with the proper texture coordinates.
+
+point_quad_rasterization
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Determines if points should be rasterized as quads or points. Certain APIs,
+like Direct3D, always use quad rasterization for points, regardless of
+whether point sprites are enabled or not. If this state is enabled, point
+smoothing and antialiasing are disabled. If it is disabled, point sprite
+coordinates are not generated.
+
+.. note::
+
+ Some renderers always internally translate points into quads; this state
+ still affects those renderers by overriding other rasterization state.
+
+Other Members
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+light_twoside
+ If set, there are per-vertex back-facing colors. :ref:`Draw`
+ uses this state along with the front/back information to set the
+ final vertex colors prior to rasterization.
+
+front_winding
+ Indicates the window order of front-facing polygons, either
+ PIPE_WINDING_CW or PIPE_WINDING_CCW
+
+cull_mode
+ Indicates which polygons to cull, either PIPE_WINDING_NONE (cull no
+ polygons), PIPE_WINDING_CW (cull clockwise-winding polygons),
+ PIPE_WINDING_CCW (cull counter clockwise-winding polygons), or
+ PIPE_WINDING_BOTH (cull all polygons).
+
+fill_cw
+ Indicates how to fill clockwise polygons, either PIPE_POLYGON_MODE_FILL,
+ PIPE_POLYGON_MODE_LINE or PIPE_POLYGON_MODE_POINT.
+fill_ccw
+ Indicates how to fill counter clockwise polygons, either
+ PIPE_POLYGON_MODE_FILL, PIPE_POLYGON_MODE_LINE or PIPE_POLYGON_MODE_POINT.
+
+poly_stipple_enable
+ Whether polygon stippling is enabled.
+poly_smooth
+ Controls OpenGL-style polygon smoothing/antialiasing
+offset_cw
+ If set, clockwise polygons will have polygon offset factors applied

+offset_units
+ Specifies the polygon offset bias

+ Specifies the polygon offset scale

+ Whether line stippling is enabled.
+line_stipple_pattern
+ 16-bit bitfield of on/off flags, used to pattern the line stipple.
+line_stipple_factor
+ When drawing a stippled line, each bit in the stipple pattern is
+ repeated N times, where N = line_stipple_factor + 1.
+line_last_pixel
+ Controls whether the last pixel in a line is drawn or not. OpenGL
+ omits the last pixel to avoid double-drawing pixels at the ends of lines
+ when drawing connected lines.
+

+ Whether points should be smoothed. Point smoothing turns rectangular
+ points into circles or ovals.
+point_size_per_vertex
+ Whether vertices have a point size element.
+point_size
+ The size of points, if not specified per-vertex.
+
+scissor

+
+multisample

+
