<para>
Pixels can be drawn using a function that blends
the incoming (source) RGBA values with the RGBA values
that are already in the frame buffer (the destination values).
Blending is initially disabled.
Use <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glEnable</refentrytitle></citerefentry> and <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glDisable</refentrytitle></citerefentry> with argument <constant>GL_BLEND</constant>
to enable and disable blending.
</para>
<para>
<function>glBlendFunc</function> defines the operation of blending when it is enabled.
<parameter>sfactor</parameter> specifies which method is used to scale the
source color components.
<parameter>dfactor</parameter> specifies which method is used to scale the
destination color components.
Both parameters must be one of the following symbolic constants:
<constant>GL_ZERO</constant>,
<constant>GL_ONE</constant>,
<constant>GL_SRC_COLOR</constant>,
<constant>GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_COLOR</constant>,

<constant>GL_CONSTANT_ALPHA</constant>,
<constant>GL_ONE_MINUS_CONSTANT_ALPHA</constant>,
<constant>GL_SRC_ALPHA_SATURATE</constant>,
The possible methods are described in the following table.
Each method defines four scale factors,
one each for red, green, blue, and alpha.
In the table and in subsequent equations, source

</para>
<para>
Prior to blending, unsigned normalized fixed-point color components undergo
an implied conversion to floating-point using equation 2.1. This conversion must
leave the values 0 and 1 invariant. Blending computations are treated as if carried
out in floating-point and will be performed with a precision and dynamic range no
lower than that used to represent destination components.
If the value of <constant>GL_FRAMEBUFFER_ATTACHMENT_COLOR_ENCODING</constant> for the
framebuffer attachment corresponding to the destination buffer is <constant>GL_SRGB</constant>,
the R, G, and B destination color values (after conversion from fixed-point
to floating-point) are considered to be encoded for the sRGB color space and
hence must be linearized prior to their use in blending. Each R, G, and B component
is converted in the same fashion described for sRGB texture components.

If the value of <constant>GL_FRAMEBUFFER_ATTACHMENT_COLOR_ENCODING</constant> for the framebuffer
attachment corresponding to the destination buffer is <constant>GL_SRGB</constant>, the R, G, and B
values after blending are converted into the non-linear sRGB color space by computing
<!-- Missing equation! -->
where cl is the R, G, or B element and cs is the result (effectively converted into an
sRGB color space).
If <constant>GL_FRAMEBUFFER_ATTACHMENT_COLOR_ENCODING</constant> is not <constant>GL_SRGB</constant>, then
cs = cl:
The resulting cs values for R, G, and B, and the unmodified A form a new
RGBA color value. If the color buffer is fixed-point, each component is clamped
to the range [0; 1] and then converted to a fixed-point value using equation

Transparency is best implemented using blend function

Note that this transparency calculation does not require

When more than one color buffer is enabled for drawing,
the GL performs blending separately for each enabled buffer,
