            After clipping and division by <emphasis>w</emphasis>,
            depth coordinates range from
            <inlineequation><mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" overflow="scroll">
                <!-- eqn: -1: -->

            </mml:math></inlineequation>
            to 1,
            corresponding to the near and far clipping planes.
            Each viewport has an independent depth range specified as a linear mapping of the normalized
            depth coordinates in this range to window depth coordinates.
            Regardless of the actual depth buffer implementation,
            window coordinate depth values are treated as though they range
            from 0 through 1 (like color components).
            <function>glDepthRangeArray</function> specifies a linear mapping of the normalized depth coordinates
            in this range to window depth coordinates for each viewport in the range [<parameter>first</parameter>,
            <parameter>first</parameter> + <parameter>count</parameter>).
            Thus,
            the values accepted by <function>glDepthRangeArray</function> are both clamped to this range
            before they are accepted.
        </para>
        <para>
            The <parameter>first</parameter> parameter specifies the index of the first viewport whose depth
            range to modify and must be less than the value of <constant>GL_MAX_VIEWPORTS</constant>.
            <parameter>count</parameter> specifies the number of viewports whose depth range to modify.
            <parameter>first</parameter> + <parameter>count</parameter> must be less than or equal to
            the value of <constant>GL_MAX_VIEWPORTS</constant>. <parameter>v</parameter> specifies the address of an
            array of pairs of double precision floating point values representing the near and far values of the
            depth range for each viewport, in that order.
        </para>
        <para>
            The setting of (0,1) maps the near plane to 0 and
            the far plane to 1.
            With this mapping,
            the depth buffer range is fully utilized.

            It is not necessary that the near plane distance be less than the far plane distance.
