Description

This extension adds a new PolygonMode enum where a triangle is rasterized by computing and filling its axis-aligned screen-space bounding box, disregarding the actual triangle edges. This can be useful for drawing a rectangle without being split into two triangles with an internal edge. It is also useful to minimize the number of primitives that need to be drawn, particularly for a user interface.

New Enum Constants

• NV_FILL_RECTANGLE_EXTENSION_NAME

• NV_FILL_RECTANGLE_SPEC_VERSION

• Extending PolygonMode:

  • POLYGON_MODE_FILL_RECTANGLE_NV
