Principle Since it’s an outer stroke, it doesn’t occupy the pixels of the original image to draw the edges. Remember the previous article, where we used the image’s Alpha to find edges, determining whether there were pixels with Alpha of 0 around the image. First, we get the uv of the surrounding pixel through the offset uv.

The vertical axes of textures and picture pixels is shown above, when sampling textures in shaders, that is from top to bottom, which is top-right corner.

For example, a shader can use warp shuffle instructions to exchange data between threads in a warp without going through shared memory, which is especially valuable in pixel shaders where there is no shared memory. This example, on the other hand, can be plugged into virtually any pixel shader, and the effect is obvious. x, u1 mov r3.yz,

When a game is “published”, the number of pixels rendered, and the aspect ratio used, are determined by the device that the game is running on, such as a television screen, web page, or even mobile device. Any remaining space that appears as a result of mis-matched aspect ratios, will just be left rendering black pixels.

This is a screenshot that displays the object-space position of each pixel as the color. That was fixed by reflecting the view-vector with the normal of the current pixel. It halves the resolution of the image until there's only one pixel left. The GLES2 backend is a forward renderer, that means each gets shaded once.
