59Description:
60
61The tessellation test group contains various cases testing basic tessellation
62shader functionality.
63
64The tessellation coordinate (gl_TessCoord) verification cases draw the vertices
65of a tessellated "triangles", "quads" or "isolines" shape using the
66"point_mode" input layout qualifier in the tessellation evaluation shader (TES).
67The vertices are read with transform feedback, and the results are compared to a
68point set generated by a reference tessellation vertex generator, verifying that
69for each point in the reference set, there is an approximately equal point in
70the GL-generated set, and vice versa. There is a small difference allowed in all
71comparisons, and thus not all rules are exactly verified (such as
72x + (1.0-x) == 1.0 for a given uvw coordinate x). The cases draw multiple times
73with different tessellation levels.
74
75The tests for the fractional spacing modes (fractional_odd_spacing,
76fractional_even_spacing) draw multiple simple isolines (with point_mode), each
77resulting in a row of vertices. These vertices are read with transform feedback
78and their x coordinates are inspected to see whether the edge is split into
79valid segments. The conditions for the amount, length and location of the two
80"additional segments", as laid out in the specification, are checked. The
81segment sets produced by different isolines are also compared to each other to
82determine whether the implementation fulfills the requirement of monotonic
83segment length growth, and the requirement that two edges with identical clamped
84tessellation levels have identically-located segments.
85
86The winding mode cases draw triangles or quads with a specific winding mode
87("cw" or "ccw") input layout qualifier in the TES. Back face culling is enabled.
88Each case draws two times, with glFrontFace(GL_CCW) and glFrontFace(GL_CW), and
89verifies that the primitive is drawn iff the glFrontFace value matches the
90winding mode specified in the TES. The patterns drawn are simple and verified by
91counting background-colored and non-background-colored pixels.
92
93The cases testing gl_PrimitiveID and gl_PatchVerticesIn read the variable in
94either TCS or TES; the TCS cases pass the value as a "patch out" output to the
95TES. For the gl_PrimitiveID cases, multiple primitives are drawn and one of
96them, with gl_PrimitiveID matching a specific value, is drawn with a differing
97color; for the gl_PatchVerticesIn cases, just one primitive is drawn and the
98value of gl_PatchVerticesIn is verified. The "quads" mode is used.
99
100The gl_TessLevelInner[] and gl_TessLevelOuter[] cases simply verify that reading
101the value of a tessellation level in the TES gives the value set in the TCS. The
102arrays are indexed with literals. The "quads" mode is used.
103
104The cases testing differing input and output patch sizes draw a simple shape
105using an output patch size either less or greater than the input patch size. The
106"quads" mode is used.
107
108The barrier case uses both per-patch and per-vertex TCS output variables,
109doing simple assignments and reads with them in different barrier()-separated
110stages. The "quads" mode is used.
111
112For the above-mentioned cases, the gl_PrimitiveID cases, the barrier case, and
113the cases with differing input and output patch sizes are verified with
114comparisons to pre-computed reference images; the gl_PatchVerticesIn and
115gl_TessLevel*[] cases draw simple all-white patterns and are verified as such.
116
117The basic rendering cases for the "triangles" and "quads" modes contain two
118types of cases: cases testing that there are no obvious gaps in the
119triangle-filled area, and cases testing that there are no overlaps between
120triangles of differing inner layers of the tessellated primitive. The gap cases
121draw a single primitive deformed so as to reveal possible errors in the
122triangulation. The overlap cases draw a single primitive with different colors
123for different concentric triangles (for the "triangles" mode) or concentric
124rectangles (for the "quads" mode); the coloring is done so as to make it visible
125if a fill-triangle spans between inappropriate inner triangles or rectangles.
126Basic cases verifying the rendering results of isolines also exist; the cases
127draw curly isolines with different colors for different vertices.
128The above cases are repeated for different spacing modes. The results of the
129rendering cases are compared to pre-computed reference images.
130
131The shared-edge cases draw multiple primitives (with the "triangles" or "quads"
132mode) that have shared edges, and check that no cracks appear at the edges. For
133each pair of primitives sharing an edge, that edge has the same tessellation
134level for both primitives. The primitives are deformed in the TES so that
135potential cracks are likely to become visible. The resulting image is verified
136by checking that no pixel (inside a fixed rectangle) remains uncovered by a
137primitive. Two variants exist, with different methods for avoiding cracks:
138either the 'precise' qualifier is used in the tessellation shaders, or input
139patches are generated in a way that causes each shared vertex to have the same
140index in all the primitives it belongs to.
141
142The patch-discarding tests draw multiple patches in one draw call, with
143different combinations for tessellation levels; some of these patches contain
144relevant outer tessellation levels with a negative or zero value; they should
145be discarded. Verification is done firstly by a sanity check that the number of
146vertices returned by transform feedback is correct, and secondly by checking
147that white primitives exist in the area where non-discarded primitives are
148drawn, and only there.
149
150The invariance tests target the 8 invariance rules laid out in the
151specification. They render one or more primitives with various tessellation
152levels and/or programs with different configurations, read the primitives with
153transform feedback, and do appropriate comparisons or other validation.
154
155The tessellation coordinate generation is somewhat implementation-dependent when
156using a fractional spacing mode and a tessellation level that isn't already
157properly rounded. In many of the cases using a spacing mode other than
158equal_spacing, the tessellation levels are chosen in a way that makes the
159results non-implementation-dependent.
160
161The exact manner in which a "triangles" or "quads" primitive is divided into
162triangles is also implementation-dependent and is not thoroughly tested.
163
164More complete checking of final triangle generation are possible candidates for
165future tests.
