RE: GTK progressbar call on XRenderComposite

["Huang, FrankR" <FrankR Huang amd com>]

When　the operation is Over, the alpha value of ARGB pict will be used as the alpha select. But there is a problem in our driver, when the mask is not zero(for example PICT_a8), the alpha value of mask also should be used. That is to say, two alpha values should be used at the same time.
Right now, Our driver use the mask alpha value, does nothing with alpha value of ARGB pict. That is absolutely wrong to do so when I compared with the result under X1200 driver(It will use two alpha values). Should I do raster operation two times for each alpha use to correct this bug?

Thanks,
Frank

You know I want to know the use of alpha value for ARGB32 format picture? For example,
	RGB: 255,0,0
	ARGB: 100,255,0,0

What's the use of 100?

Thanks.
Is there any difference in RGB24 and ARGB32 to display them on the screen without mask(mask=0)? The same? I gave a test, seems that for ARGB32 picture, I change the alpha value of it, no difference.

If CA is used for text rendering, I don't care that.

The same - the alpha channel and each colour channel are all multiplied
by the mask value.  (Remembering of course that 255 == 1.0, so the
values always go down or stay the same.)

In fact this is also what should happen in the RGB24 case, since in the
XRender pipeline, RGB24 is treated the same as ARGB32, with the alpha
channel implied to be 255.

CA stands for Component Alpha.  It's used for subpixel antialiasing,
which you might have heard described as "ClearType".

You should probably not try to accelerate Component Alpha directly until
you deeply understand the formulae involved.  EXA can convert common use
cases of Component Alpha into pairs of simpler operations.
