        <para>
            <function>glMinSampleShading</function> specifies the rate at which samples are shaded within
            a covered pixel. Sample-rate shading is enabled by calling <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glEnable</refentrytitle></citerefentry>
            with the parameter <constant>GL_SAMPLE_SHADING</constant>. If <constant>GL_MULTISAMPLE</constant>
            or <constant>GL_SAMPLE_SHADING</constant> is disabled, sample shading has no effect.
            Otherwise, an implementation must provide at least as many unique color values for
            each covered fragment as specified by <parameter>value</parameter> times <parameter>samples</parameter> where
            <parameter>samples</parameter> is the value of <constant>GL_SAMPLES</constant> for the current
            framebuffer. At least 1 sample for each covered fragment is generated.
        </para>
        <para>
            A <parameter>value</parameter> of 1.0 indicates that each sample in the framebuffer should be
            indpendently shaded. A <parameter>value</parameter> of 0.0 effectively allows the GL to ignore
            sample rate shading. Any value between 0.0 and 1.0 allows the GL to shade only a subset
            of the total samples within each covered fragment. Which samples are shaded and the algorithm
            used to select that subset of the fragment's samples is implementation dependent.

            changed from GLclampf to GLfloat. This change is transparent
            to user code and is described in detail on the
