.SH PARAMETERS
_phead(_param1 _param2)
Specify the window coordinates of the lower left corner
of the rectangular region of pixels to be copied.
_phead(_param3 _param4)
Specify the dimensions of the rectangular region of pixels to be copied.
Both must be nonnegative.
_phead(_param5)
Specifies whether color values,
depth values,
or stencil values are to be copied.
Symbolic constants
_const(COLOR),
_const(DEPTH),
and _const(STENCIL) are accepted.
.SH DESCRIPTION
_cmnd copies a screen-aligned rectangle of pixels
from the specified frame buffer location to a region relative to the
current raster position.
Its operation is well defined only if the entire pixel source region
is within the exposed portion of the window.
Results of copies from outside the window,
or from regions of the window that are not exposed,
are hardware dependent and undefined.
.P
_param1 and _param2 specify the window coordinates of
the lower left corner of the rectangular region to be copied.
_param3 and _param4 specify the dimensions of the
rectangular region to be copied.
Both _param3 and _param4 must not be negative.
.P
Several parameters control the processing of the pixel data
while it is being copied.
These parameters are set with three commands:
_cmnd(PixelTransfer),
_cmnd(PixelMap), and
_cmnd(PixelZoom).
This reference page describes the effects on _cmnd of most,
but not all, of the parameters specified by these three commands.
.P
_cmnd copies values from each pixel with the lower left-hand corner at
(_param1 + $i$, _param2 + $j$) for 0 \(<= $i$ < _param3
and 0 \(<= $j$ < _param4.
This pixel is said to be the $i$th pixel in the $j$th row. 
Pixels are copied in row order from the lowest to the highest row,
left to right in each row.
.P
_param5 specifies whether color, depth, or stencil data is to be copied.
The details of the transfer for each data type are as follows:
.TP 15
_const(COLOR)
Indices or RGBA colors are read from the buffer currently specified as the
read source buffer (see _cmnd(ReadBuffer)).
If the GL is in color index mode,
each index that is read from this buffer is converted
to a fixed-point format with an unspecified
number of bits to the right of the binary point.
Each index is then shifted left by _const(INDEX_SHIFT) bits,
and added to _const(INDEX_OFFSET).
If _const(INDEX_SHIFT) is negative,
the shift is to the right.
In either case, zero bits fill otherwise unspecified bit locations in the
result.
If _const(MAP_COLOR) is true,
the index is replaced with the value that it references in lookup table
_const(PIXEL_MAP_I_TO_I).
Whether the lookup replacement of the index is done or not,
the integer part of the index is then ANDed with $2 sup b -1$,
where $b$ is the number of bits in a color index buffer.
.IP
If the GL is in RGBA mode,
the red, green, blue, and alpha components of each pixel that is read
are converted to an internal floating-point format with unspecified
precision.
The conversion maps the largest representable component value to 1.0,
and component value 0 to 0.0.
The resulting floating-point color values are then multiplied
by _const(c_SCALE) and added to _const(c_BIAS),
where \f2c\fP is RED, GREEN, BLUE, and ALPHA 
for the respective color components.
The results are clamped to the range [0,1].
If _const(MAP_COLOR) is true,
each color component is scaled by the size of lookup table
_const(PIXEL_MAP_c_TO_c),
then replaced by the value that it references in that table.
\f2c\fP is R, G, B, or A.
.IP
If the _arbstring(imaging) extension is supported, the color values may
be 
additionally processed by color-table lookups, color-matrix
transformations, and convolution filters.
.IP
The GL then converts the resulting indices or RGBA colors to fragments
by attaching the current raster position \f2z\fP coordinate and
texture coordinates to each pixel,
then assigning window coordinates
($x sub r ~+~ i , y sub r ~+~ j$),
where ($x sub r , y sub r$) is the current raster position,
and the pixel was the $i$th pixel in the $j$th row.
These pixel fragments are then treated just like the fragments generated by
rasterizing points, lines, or polygons.
Texture mapping,
fog,
and all the fragment operations are applied before the fragments are written
to the frame buffer.
.TP
_const(DEPTH)
Depth values are read from the depth buffer and
converted directly to an internal floating-point format
with unspecified precision.
The resulting floating-point depth value is then multiplied
by _const(DEPTH_SCALE) and added to _const(DEPTH_BIAS).
The result is clamped to the range [0,1].
.IP
The GL then converts the resulting depth components to fragments
by attaching the current raster position color or color index and
texture coordinates to each pixel,
then assigning window coordinates
($x sub r ~+~ i , y sub r ~+~ j$),
where ($x sub r , y sub r$) is the current raster position,
and the pixel was the $i$th pixel in the $j$th row.
These pixel fragments are then treated just like the fragments generated by
rasterizing points, lines, or polygons.
Texture mapping,
fog,
and all the fragment operations are applied before the fragments are written
to the frame buffer.
.TP
_const(STENCIL)
Stencil indices are read from the stencil buffer and
converted to an internal fixed-point format
with an unspecified number of bits to the right of the binary point.
Each fixed-point index is then shifted left by _const(INDEX_SHIFT) bits,
and added to _const(INDEX_OFFSET).
If _const(INDEX_SHIFT) is negative,
the shift is to the right.
In either case, zero bits fill otherwise unspecified bit locations in the
result.
If _const(MAP_STENCIL) is true,
the index is replaced with the value that it references in lookup table
_const(PIXEL_MAP_S_TO_S).
Whether the lookup replacement of the index is done or not,
the integer part of the index is then ANDed with $2 sup b -1$,
where $b$ is the number of bits in the stencil buffer.
The resulting stencil indices are then written to the stencil buffer
such that the index read from the $i$th location of the $j$th row
is written to location
($x sub r ~+~ i , y sub r ~+~ j$),
where ($x sub r , y sub r$) is the current raster position.
Only the pixel ownership test,
the scissor test,
and the stencil writemask affect these write operations.
.P
The rasterization described thus far assumes pixel zoom factors of 1.0.
If 
.br
_cmnd(PixelZoom) is used to change the $x$ and $y$ pixel zoom factors,
pixels are converted to fragments as follows.
If ($x sub r$, $y sub r$) is the current raster position,
and a given pixel is in the $i$th location in the $j$th row of the source
pixel rectangle,
then fragments are generated for pixels whose centers are in the rectangle
with corners at

$zoom sub y$ is the value of _const(ZOOM_Y).
