Given that vector, obtain the values of any // variable at neighboring fragments. // Requires: Using this file in general requires: // 1.) ddx() and ddy() are present in the current Cg profile. // 2.) The GPU driver is using fine/high-quality derivatives. // Functions will give incorrect results if this is not true, // so a test function is included. ///////////////////// QUAD-PIXEL COMMUNICATION PRIMITIVES //////////////////// float4 get_quad_vector_naive(const float4 output_pixel_num_wrt_uvxy) { // Requires: Two measures of the current fragment's output pixel number // in the range ([0, IN.output_size.x), [0, IN.output_size.y)): // 1.) output_pixel_num_wrt_uvxy.xy increase with uv coords. // 2.) output_pixel_num_wrt_uvxy.zw increase with screen xy. // Returns: Two measures of the fragment's position in its 2x2 quad: // 1.)
