+This request allocates a set of window attributes and
+a buffer into which an image can be drawn.
+The contents of this <emphasis remap='I'>image buffer</emphasis> will
+be displayed when the window is mapped to the screen.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+To support double-buffering and multi-buffering,
+we introduce the notion that additional image buffers can
+be created and bound together to form groups.
+The following rules will apply:
+</para>
+
+<itemizedlist>
+  <listitem>
+    <para>
+All image buffers in a group will have the same
+visual type, depth, and geometry (ie: width and height).

+    <para>
+Only one image buffer per group can be displayed

+    <para>
+Window management requests (<function>MapWindow</function>, <function>DestroyWindow</function>,
+<function>ConfigureWindow</function>, etc...)
+affect all image buffers associated with a window.
+    </para>
+  </listitem>
+  <listitem>
+    <para>
+Appropriate resize and exposure events will be generated
+for every image buffer that is affected by a window
+management operation.
+    </para>
+  </listitem>
+</itemizedlist>
+
+<para>
+By allowing draw operations to occur on any image buffer at any time,
+a client could, on a multi-threaded multi-processor server,
+simultaneously build up images for display.
+To support this, each buffer must have its own resource ID.
+Since buffers are different than windows and pixmaps
+(buffers are not hierarchical and pixmaps cannot be displayed)
+a new resource, <function>Buffer</function>, is introduced.
+Furthermore, a <function>Buffer</function> is also a <function>Drawable</function>, thus
+draw operations may also be performed on buffers simply
+by passing a buffer ID to the existing pixmap/window
+interface.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+To allow existing X applications to work unchanged, we assume
+a window ID passed in a draw request, for a multi-buffered
+window, will be an <emphasis remap='I'>alias</emphasis> for the ID of the currently
+displayed image buffer.  Any draw requests (eq: <function>GetImage</function>) on
+the window will be relative to the displayed image buffer.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+In window management requests, only a window ID will be
+accepted.  Requests like <function>QueryTree</function>, will continue to
+return only window ID's.  Most events will return
+just the window ID.  Some new events, described in a subsequent
+section, will return a buffer ID.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+When a window has backing store the contents of the window
+are saved off-screen.  Likewise, when the contents of an image
+buffer of a multi-buffer window is saved off-screen, it is
+said to have backing store.  This applies to all image buffers,
+whether or not they are selected for display.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+In some multi-buffer implementations, undisplayed buffers might be
+implemented using pixmaps.  Since the contents of pixmaps exist
+off-screen and are not affected by occlusion, these image buffers
+in effect have backing store.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+On the other hand, both the displayed and undisplayed image buffers
+might be implemented using a subset of the on-screen pixels.
+In this case, unless the contents of an image buffer are saved
+off-screen, these image buffers in effect do not have backing store.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Output to any image buffer of an unmapped multi-buffered window
+that does not have backing store is discarded.  Output to any
+image buffer of a mapped multi-buffer window will be performed;
+however, portions of an image buffer may be occluded or clipped.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+When an unmapped multi-buffered window becomes mapped, the contents
+of any image buffer buffer that did not have backing store is
+tiled with the background and zero or more exposure events are
+generated.  If no background is defined for the window, then
+the screen contents are not altered and the contents of any
+undisplayed image buffers are undefined.  If backing store was
+maintained for an image buffer, then no exposure events are generated.
+</para>

+<chapter id='New_Requests'>
+<title>New Requests</title>
+
+<para>
+The new request, <function>CreateImageBuffers</function>, creates a group of
+image buffers and associates them with a normal X window:
+</para>
+
+<literallayout class="monospaced">
+CreateImageBuffers
+     w_id           : WINDOW
+     buffers        : LISTofBUFFER
+     update_action  : {Undefined,Background,Untouched,Copied}
+     update_hint    : {Frequent,Intermittent,Static}
+     =&gt;
+     number_buffers : CARD16
+
+     (Errors: Window, IDChoice, Value)
+</literallayout>
+
+<para>
+One image buffer will be associated with each ID passed in
+<emphasis remap='I'>buffers</emphasis>.
+The first buffer of the list is referred to as buffer[0], the next
+buffer[1], and so on.  Each buffer will have the same visual type
+and geometry as the window.
+Buffer[0] will refer to the image buffer already associated
+with the window ID and its contents will not be modified.
+The displayed image buffer attribute is set to buffer[0].
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Image buffers for the remaining ID's (buffer[1],...) are allocated.
+If the window is mapped, or if these image buffers have backing
+store, their contents will be tiled with the window background
+(if no background is defined, the buffer contents are undefined),
+and zero or more expose events will be generated for each of these
+buffers.  The contents of an image buffer is undefined when
+the window is unmapped and the buffer does not have backing store.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+If the window already has a group of image buffers
+associated with it (ie: from a previous <function>CreateImageBuffers</function> request)
+the actions described for <function>DestroyImageBuffers</function> are performed first
+(this will delete the association of the previous buffer ID's and
+their buffers as well as de-allocate all buffers except for the
+one already associated with the window ID).
+</para>
+
+<para>
+To allow a server implementation to efficiently allocate the
+buffers, the total number of buffers required and
+the update action (how they will behave during an update)
+is specified "up front" in the request.
+If the server cannot allocate all the buffers requested, the
+total number of buffers actually allocated will be returned.
+No <function>Alloc</function> errors will be generated \- buffer[0] can
+always be associated with the existing displayed image buffer.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+For example, an application that wants to animate a short movie
+loop may request 64 image buffers.  The server may only be able to
+support 16 image buffers of this type, size, and depth.
+The application can then decide 16 buffers is sufficient and may
+truncate the movie loop, or it may decide it really needs
+64 and will free the buffers and complain to the user.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+One might be tempted to provide a request that inquires whether
+<emphasis remap='I'>n</emphasis>
+buffers of a particular type, size, and depth
+<emphasis remap='I'>could</emphasis> be allocated.
+But if the query is decoupled from the actual allocation,
+another client could sneak in and take the buffers before the
+original client has allocated them.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+While any buffer of a group can be selected for display,
+some applications may display buffers in a predictable order
+(ie: the movie loop application).  The
+<emphasis remap='I'>list order</emphasis>
+(buffer[0], buffer[1], ...) will be used as a hint by the
+server as to which buffer will be displayed next.
+A client displaying buffers in this order may see a
+performance improvement.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+<emphasis remap='I'>update_action</emphasis> indicates what should happen to a previously
+displayed buffer when a different buffer becomes displayed.
+Possible actions are:
+</para>
+
+<variablelist>
+  <varlistentry>
+    <term>Undefined</term>
+    <listitem>
+      <para>
+The contents of the buffer that was

+  <varlistentry>
+    <term>Background</term>

+To display an image buffer the following request can be used:
+</para>
+
+<literallayout class="monospaced">
+DisplayImageBuffers
+     buffers         : LISTofBUFFER
+     min_delay       : CARD16
+     max_delay       : CARD16
+
+     (Errors: Buffer, Match)
+</literallayout>
+
+<para>
+The image buffers listed will become displayed as simultaneously
+as possible and the update action, bound at
+<function>CreateImageBuffers</function>
+time, will be performed.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+A list of buffers is specified to
+allow the server to efficiently change the display of more than one
+window at a time (ie: when a global screen swap method is used).
+Attempting to simultaneously display
+multiple image buffers from the same window is an error
+(<function>Match</function>) since it violates the rule that only one
+image buffer per group can be displayed at a time.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+If a specified buffer is already displayed,
+any delays and update action will still be
+performed for that buffer.  In this instance,
+only the update action of <emphasis remap='I'>Background</emphasis>
+(and possibly
+<emphasis remap='I'>Undefined</emphasis>) will have any affect on the
+contents of the displayed buffer.  These semantics allow
+an animation application to successfully execute
+even when there is only a single buffer available
+for a window.
+</para>
+<para>
+<!-- .LP -->
+When a <function>DisplayImageBuffers</function> request is made to an unmapped
+multi-buffered window, the effect of the update action depends
+on whether the image buffers involved have backing store.
+When the target of the update action is an image buffer that
+does not have backing store, output is discarded.  When the
+target image buffer does have backing store, the update is performed;
+however, when the source of the update is an image buffer does not
+have backing store (as in the case of update action
+<emphasis remap='I'>Copied</emphasis>), the
+contents of target image buffer will become undefined.
+</para>
+<para>
+<!-- .LP -->
+<emphasis remap='I'>min_delay</emphasis> and
+<emphasis remap='I'>max_delay</emphasis> put a bound on how long the
+server should wait before processing the display request.
+For each of the windows to be updated by this request, at least
+<emphasis remap='I'>min_delay</emphasis> milli-seconds should elapse since
+the last
+time any of the windows were updated; conversely, no window
+should have to wait more than <emphasis remap='I'>max_delay</emphasis>
+milli-seconds before being updated.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+<emphasis remap='I'>min_delay</emphasis> allows an application to
+<emphasis remap='I'>slow down</emphasis> an animation or movie loop so that
+it appears
+synchronized at a rate the server can support given the current load.
+For example, a <emphasis remap='I'>min_delay</emphasis> of 100 indicates the
+server should
+wait at least 1/10 of a second since the last time any of the
+windows were updated.  A <emphasis remap='I'>min_delay</emphasis> of zero
+indicates no waiting is necessary.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+<emphasis remap='I'>max_delay</emphasis> can be thought of as an additional
+delay beyond <emphasis remap='I'>min_delay</emphasis> the server is allowed
+to wait
+to facilitate such things as efficient update of multiple windows.
+If <emphasis remap='I'>max_delay</emphasis> would require an update before
+<emphasis remap='I'>min_delay</emphasis>
+is satisfied, then the server should process the display request as
+soon as the <emphasis remap='I'>min_delay</emphasis> requirement is met.  A
+typical value for <emphasis remap='I'>max_delay</emphasis> is zero.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+To implement the above functionality, the time since the last
+update by a <function>DisplayImageBuffers</function> request for each
+multi-buffered
+window needs to be saved as state by the server.
+The server may delay execution of the <function>DisplayImageBuffers</function>
+request until the appropriate time (e.g. by requeuing the
+request after computing the timeout);
+however, the entire request must be processed in one operation.
+Request execution indivisibility must be maintained.  When
+a server is implemented with internal concurrency, the
+extension must adhere to the same concurrency semantics
+as those defined for the core protocol.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+To explicitly clear a rectangular area of an image buffer to
+the window background, the following request can be used:
+</para>
+
+<literallayout class="monospaced">
+ClearImageBufferArea
+     buffer          : BUFFER
+     x, y            : INT16

+     exposures       : BOOL
+
+     (Errors: Buffer, Value)
+</literallayout>
+
+<para>
+Like the X <function>ClearArea</function> request,
+<emphasis remap='I'>x</emphasis> and <emphasis remap='I'>y</emphasis>
+are relative to
+the window's origin and specify the upper-left corner of the rectangle.
+If <emphasis remap='I'>width</emphasis> is zero, it is replaced with the
+current window width
+minus <emphasis remap='I'>x</emphasis>.  If
+<emphasis remap='I'>height</emphasis> is zero it is replaced with the current
+window height minus <emphasis remap='I'>y</emphasis>.  If the window has a
+defined background tile, the rectangle is tiled with a plane mask of all ones,
+a function of <emphasis remap='I'>Copy</emphasis>, and a subwindow-mode of
+<emphasis remap='I'>ClipByChildren</emphasis>.
+If the window has background <emphasis remap='I'>None</emphasis>, the
+contents of the buffer
+are not changed.  In either case, if
+<emphasis remap='I'>exposures</emphasis> is true, then one or
+more exposure events are generated for regions of the rectangle that are
+either visible or are being retained in backing store.

+<para>
+<emphasis remap='I'>How</emphasis> stereo windows are supported on a server
+is implementation
+dependent.  A server may contain specialized hardware that allows
+left and right images to be toggled at field or frame rates.  The
+stereo affect may only be perceived with the aid of special
+viewing glasses.  The <emphasis remap='I'>display</emphasis> of a
+stereo picture should
+be independent of how often the contents of the picture are
+<emphasis remap='I'>updated</emphasis> by an application.  Double and
+multi-buffering
+of images should be possible regardless of whether the image
+is displayed normally or in stereo.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+To achieve this goal, a simple extension to normal windows
+is suggested.  Stereo windows are just like normal windows
+except the displayed image is made up of a left image
+buffer and a right image buffer.  To create a stereo window,
+a client makes the following request:
+</para>
+
+<literallayout class="monospaced">
+CreateStereoWindow
+     parent          : WINDOW
+     w_id            : WINDOW

+     value_list      : LISTofVALUE
+
+     (Errors: Alloc, Color, Cursor, Match,
+              Pixmap, Value, Window)
+</literallayout>
+
+<para>
+This request, modeled after the <function>CreateWindow</function> request,
+adds just two new parameters: <emphasis remap='I'>left</emphasis> and
+<emphasis remap='I'>right</emphasis>.
+For stereo, it is essential that one can distinguish whether
+a draw operation is to occur on the left image or right image.
+While an internal mode could have been added to achieve this,
+using two buffer ID's allows clients to simultaneously build up
+the left and right components of a stereo image.  These
+ID's always refer to (are an alias for) the left and right
+image buffers that are currently <emphasis remap='I'>displayed</emphasis>.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Like normal windows, the window ID is used whenever a window
+management operation is to be performed.  Window queries would
+also return this window ID (eg: <function>QueryTree</function>) as would most
+events.  Like the window ID, the left and right buffer ID's
+each have their own event mask.  They can be set and queried
+using the <function>Set/GetBufferAttributes</function> requests.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Using the window ID of a stereo window in a draw request
+(eg: <function>GetImage</function>) results in pixels that are
+<emphasis remap='I'>undefined</emphasis>.
+Possible semantics are that both left and right images get
+drawn, or just a single side is operated on (existing applications
+will have to be re-written to explicitly use the left and right
+buffer ID's in order to successfully create, fetch, and store
+stereo images).
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Having an explicit <function>CreateStereoWindow</function> request is helpful
+in that a server implementation will know from the onset whether
+a stereo window is desired and can return appropriate status
+to the client if it cannot support this functionality.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Some hardware may support separate stereo and non-stereo modes,
+perhaps with different vertical resolutions.  For example, the
+vertical resolution in stereo mode may be half that of non-stereo
+mode.  Selecting one mode or the other must be done through some
+means outside of this extension (eg: by providing a separate
+screen for each hardware display mode).  The screen attributes
+(ie: x/y resolution) for a screen that supports normal windows,
+may differ from a screen that supports stereo windows;
+however, all windows, regardless of type, displayed on the
+same screen must have the same screen attributes
+(ie: pixel aspect ratio).
+</para>
+
+<para>
+If a screen that supports stereo windows also supports
+normal windows, then the images presented to the left and
+right eyes for normal windows should be the same
+(ie: have no stereo offset).
