  27     The extension is written against the OpenGL 1.2 Specification

  29 Overview
  30
  31     In order to set the current raster position to a specific window
  32     coordinate with the RasterPos command, the modelview matrix, projection
  33     matrix and viewport must be set very carefully.  Furthermore, if the
  34     desired window coordinate is outside of the window's bounds one must
  35     rely on a subtle side-effect of the Bitmap command in order to circumvent
  36     frustum clipping.
  37
  38     This extension provides a set of functions to directly set the
  39     current raster position, bypassing the modelview matrix, the
  40     projection matrix and the viewport to window mapping.  Furthermore,
  41     clip testing is not performed.
  42
  43     This greatly simplifies the process of setting the current raster
  44     position to a specific window coordinate prior to calling DrawPixels,
  45     CopyPixels or Bitmap.

  78 Additions to Chapter 2 of the OpenGL 1.2 Specification (OpenGL Operation)
  79
  80   - (2.12, p. 41) Insert after third paragraph:
  81
  82       Alternately, the current raster position may be set by one of the
  83       WindowPosMESA commands:
  84
  85          void WindowPos{234}{sidf}MESA( T coords );
  86          void WindowPos{234}{sidf}vMESA( T coords );
  87
  88       WindosPos4MESA takes four values indicating x, y, z, and w.
  89       WindowPos3MESA (or WindowPos2MESA) is analaguos, but sets only
  90       x, y, and z with w implicitly set to 1 (or only x and y with z
  91       implicitly set to 0 and w implicitly set to 1).
  92
  93       WindowPosMESA operates like RasterPos except that the current modelview
  94       matrix, projection matrix and viewport parameters are ignored and the
  95       clip test operation always passes.  The current raster position values
  96       are directly set to the parameters passed to WindowPosMESA.  The current
  97       color, color index and texture coordinate update the current raster
  98       position's associated data.

 106     Not specified at this time.  However, a protocol message very similar
 107     to that of RasterPos is expected.

 111     INVALID_OPERATION is generated if WindowPosMESA is called between
 112     Begin and End.
