Overview

    This extension provides a minimal mechanism to control the copying of
    fragment information to external hardware such as a calligraphic
    display interface.  The initial implementation is intended to support
    the calligraphic interface on InfiniteReality.  On InfiniteReality
    when the interface is enabled, fragment information consisting of
    some color and coverage data is sent to the interface.

Issues

    *	better name

    *	it has no effect on rasterization, it only causes fragment information
	to be sent out an additional interface.  How does this get described?

    *	Should it disable the writing of fragments to the framebuffer (may make
	it easier to describe in one of the sections if it actually effects
	the framebuffer).

    New Section (Calligraphic Interface)

    The command Enable with <pname> CALLIGRAPHIC_FRAGMENT_SGIX
    causes fragment information to be copied to the calligraphic
    interface as fragments are written to the color buffer(s).  Only
    fragments that would cause updates to the color buffer are sent
    to the interface.
    If color buffer updates are disabled using ColorMask or DrawBuffer,
    fragment information is still sent to the calligraphic interface.
    The command Disable with <pname> CALLIGRAPHIC_FRAGMENT_SGIX disables
    writing of fragment information to the calligraphic interface.


Additions to Chapter 6 of the 1.0 Specification (State and State Requests)

    When PushAttrib is called with ENABLE_BIT enabled, the state of
    the calligraphic interface enable is pushed. When an attribute set
    that includes enable information is popped, the state of the
    calligraphic interface is restored to the pushed value.
