+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

+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

+smoothing and antialiasing are disabled, and sprite coordinates are not
+generated.

+ Some renderers always internally translate points into quads; this state
+ still affects those renderers by overriding other rasterization state.

point_size
The size of points, if not specified per-vertex.
-sprite_coord_enable
- Specifies if a coord has its texture coordinates replaced or not. This
- is a packed bitfield containing the enable for all coords - if all are 0
- point sprites are effectively disabled, though points may still be
- rendered slightly different according to point_quad_rasterization.
- If any coord is non-zero, point_smooth should be disabled, and
- point_quad_rasterization enabled.
- 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 sprites, for each coord which has sprite_coord_enable set.
- For PIPE_SPRITE_COORD_LOWER_LEFT, the lower left vertex will have
- coordinate (0,0,0,1).
- For PIPE_SPRITE_COORD_UPPER_LEFT, the upper-left vertex will have
- coordinate (0,0,0,1).
- This state is needed by :ref:`Draw` because that's where each
- point vertex is converted into four quad vertices. There's no other
- place to emit the new vertex texture coordinates which are required for
- sprite rendering.
- Note that when geometry shaders are available, this state could be
- removed. A special geometry shader defined by the state tracker could
- convert the incoming points into quads with the proper texture coords.
-point_quad_rasterization
- This determines if points should be rasterized as quads or points.
- d3d always uses quad rasterization for points, regardless if point sprites
- are enabled or not, but OGL has different rules. If point_quad_rasterization
- is set, point_smooth should be disabled, and points will be rendered as
- squares even if multisample is enabled.
- sprite_coord_enable should be zero if point_quad_rasterization is not
- enabled.
scissor
Whether the scissor test is enabled.
