DESCRIPTION
     glSeparableFilter2DEXT builds a two-dimensional separable convolution
     filter kernel from	two arrays of pixels.

     The pixel arrays specified	by (width, format, type, row) and (height,
     format, type, column) are processed just as if they had been passed to
     glDrawPixels, but processing stops	after the final	expansion to RGBA is
     completed.

     Next, the R, G, B,	and A components of all	pixels in both arrays are
     scaled by the four	separable 2D GL_CONVOLUTION_FILTER_SCALE_EXT
     parameters	and biased by the four separable 2D
     GL_CONVOLUTION_FILTER_BIAS_EXT parameters.	 (The scale and	bias
     parameters	are set	by glConvolutionParameterEXT using the
     GL_SEPARABLE_2D_EXT target	and the	names GL_CONVOLUTION_FILTER_SCALE_EXT
     and GL_CONVOLUTION_FILTER_BIAS_EXT.  The parameters themselves are
     vectors of	four values that are applied to	red, green, blue, and alpha,
     in	that order.)  The R, G,	B, and A values	are not	clamped	to [0,1] at
     any time during this process.

     Each pixel	is then	converted to the internal format specified by
     internalformat.  This conversion simply maps the component	values of the
     pixel (R, G, B, and A) to the values included in the internal format
     (red, green, blue,	alpha, luminance, and intensity).  The mapping is as
     follows:

      Internal Format	   Red	 Green	 Blue	Alpha	Luminance   Intensity
      _______________________________________________________________________
      GL_LUMINANCE					    R
      GL_LUMINANCE_ALPHA			  A	    R
      GL_INTENSITY_EXT							R
      GL_RGB		    R	   G	  B
      GL_RGBA		    R	   G	  B	  A

     The red, green, blue, alpha, luminance, and/or intensity components of
     the resulting pixels are stored in	floating-point rather than integer
     format.  They form	two one-dimensional filter kernel images.  The row
     image is indexed by coordinate i starting at zero and increasing from
     left to right.  Each location in the row image is derived from element i
     of	row.  The column image is indexed by coordinate	j starting at zero and
     increasing	from bottom to top.  Each location in the column image is
     derived from element j of column.

     Note that after a convolution is performed, the resulting color
     components	are also scaled	by their corresponding
     GL_POST_CONVOLUTION_c_SCALE_EXT parameters	and biased by their
     corresponding GL_POST_CONVOLUTION_c_BIAS_EXT parameters (where c takes on
     the values	RED, GREEN, BLUE, and ALPHA).  These parameters	are set	by
     glPixelTransfer.

ERRORS
     GL_INVALID_ENUM is	generated if target is not GL_SEPARABLE_2D_EXT.

     GL_INVALID_ENUM is	generated if internalformat is not one of the
     allowable values.

     GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated if width is less than zero or greater than
     the maximum supported value.  This	value may be queried with
     glGetConvolutionParameterEXT using	target GL_SEPARABLE_2D_EXT and name
     GL_MAX_CONVOLUTION_WIDTH_EXT.

     GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated if height is	less than zero or greater than
     the maximum supported value.  This	value may be queried with
     glGetConvolutionParameterEXT using	target GL_SEPARABLE_2D_EXT and name
     GL_MAX_CONVOLUTION_HEIGHT_EXT.

     GL_INVALID_ENUM is	generated if format is not one of the allowable
     values.

     GL_INVALID_ENUM is	generated if type is not one of	the allowable values.

     GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if glSeparableFilter2DEXT is executed
     between the execution of glBegin and the corresponding execution of
     glEnd.

     If	type is	set to GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE_3_3_2_EXT,
     GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT_4_4_4_4_EXT, GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT_5_5_5_1_EXT,
     GL_UNSIGNED_INT_8_8_8_8_EXT, or GL_UNSIGNED_INT_10_10_10_2_EXT and	the
     EXT_packed_pixels extension is not	supported then a GL_INVALID_ENUM error
     is	generated.

MACHINE	DEPENDENCIES
     On	RealityEngine, RealityEngine2, and VTX systems convolution may not be
     used in the following circumstances:

	  1.  When rendering to	pixmaps.

	  2.  When fragment processing (texturing, depth buffering, alpha
	      testing, multisampling, fog) is enabled.

	  3.  When histogramming or minmax is enabled.

	  4.  When either of the pixel zoom factors has	a value	other than 1.0
	      or -1.0.

     In	these cases, glDrawPixels and glCopyPixels report a
     GL_INVALID_OPERATION error	and do not transfer any	pixels.

     Loading a convolution filter with some combinations of pixel transfer
     modes may be unreliable on	InfiniteReality	systems.  Straightforward
     transfers are known to work, though.  The remaining problems will be
     fixed in the next release.
