GL_NUMSAMPLES(3G)

okay so this is the GL_NUMSAMPLES(3G) page from the OpenGL manual — section 3G, bestie — and the header has a lil [FIXME: manual] placeholder because apparently even Khronos pages have unfinished homework. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

gl_NumSamples — contains the total number of samples in the framebuffer. periodt. 💅

🎀 DECLARATION 🎀

Actual declaration:

in bool gl_NumSamples ;

And the raw source line is this exact messy girl:

in bool gl_NumSamples ;.SH "DESCRIPTION"

(that .SH "DESCRIPTION" bit is formatting stuff glued onto the line, not part of the variable — no cap. 🙈)

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

gl_NumSamples is a fragment language input variable that contains the number of samples in the framebuffer, or 1 if rendering to a non-multisample framebuffer. It is the sample count of the framebuffer regardless of whether multisample rasterization is enabled or not. Lowkey simple, highkey useful. 🦋
