        <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 the value of <constant>GL_SAMPLE_BUFFERS</constant> is zero,
            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
            independently 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.
