	Texel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Texel is a municipality and an island in the Netherlands, in the province of North Holland.
		The island of Texel, which received city rights in 1415, originally was made up of two islands, Texel proper to the south and Eierland to the northwest, which were connected by shoals.
		Texel is known for its wildlife, particularly in winter, when birds of prey and geese take up residence.

		The texel values that are used by a graphics processing chip need to be stored in the memory "closest" to the chip, to ensure optimal performance - in order of preference, the locations should be the texture cache first, then the texture buffer, then the AGP aperture and finally the system memory.
		Graphics adapters with more than one TMU per pipeline can obviously apply more than one texel to a pixel per clock cycle - however, this means that the local memory will be accessed more often and so the potential texturing performance may not be fully achieved.
		In 3D graphics, these are the mathematical functions that are performed on vertices in order to change the position of an object, location of a camera, direction of view, the perspective of the scene and so on.

	Method and apparatus for compressed texture caching in a video graphics system - Patent 6339428
		Various numbers of texels may be included in the determination of the color for the particular pixel, and the weighted average performed using these texels may be system dependent.
		Each of the texels within the 4-by-4 block is then represented by a two-bit encoding, where the two-bit encoding either selects one of the two 16 bit colors, a combination of the two colors, or, in some embodiments, a transparent color for the texel.
		The video graphics texture mapping circuit 100 may be employed to allow for multiple textures to be mapped to a single pixel such that the eventual color determined for the pixel is based on more than one texture.

	Graphics Jargon
		In graphics mode, the display screen is treated as an array of pixels, with characters and other shapes formed by turning on combinations of pixels.
		Like a pixel, a texel is the base unit of a graphic, although texels make up textured graphics - graphics that define the surface of three dimensional objects.
		The difference between vector graphics and raster graphics, therefore, is that vector graphics are not translated into bit maps until the last possible moment, after all sizes and resolutions have been specified.

	Define texel - a Whatis.com definition
		In computer graphics, a texel (texture element) represents the smallest graphical element in two-dimensional (2-D) texture mapping to "wallpaper" the rendition of a three-dimensional (3-D) object to create the impression of a textured surface.
		A texel is similar to a pixel (picture element) because it represents an elementary unit in a graphic.
		In special instances, there might be a one-to-one correspondence between texels and pixels in some parts of the rendition of a 3-D object.

		A texel is a term used in computer graphics, the abbreviation of texture mapping pixel.
		Textures are made up of texels, just as a screen is made up of pixels.
		When drawing an image, a graphics card has to map these texels to the screen.

		Many graphics applications—for example, computer animation systems—require more computing power than is available on personal computers and will run only on powerful workstations or specially designed graphics computers.
		In addition to the CPU and memory, graphics software requires a graphics monitor and support for one of the many graphics standards.
		The quality of most graphics devices is determined by their resolution—how many points per square inch they can represent—and their color capabilities.

		i attached the first fan on the heat sink of the graphics card.the other one i used to connect on the cabinet of the machine to increase the air flow inside the cabinet.
		I havent overclocked any other graphics card to this extend.and i also doesnt know that if this method works for every low end graphics cards which are now available in the market.i strongly recommend not to overclock expensive and powerful graphics cards to this extend which can burn up the graphics card

		Precomputed initial and incremental morph parameter values for each texel component are applied during real-time morphing procedures using integer arithmetic.
		The frame counter avoids over-runs, and the morphing procedure is "snapped" the texel value to the precise texture target value to prevent under-runs and corresponding artifacts.
		The morph texture buffer data structure is initially decomposed off-line to reduce the number of real-time calculations required to manipulate texel component data.

	The ABCs of Graphics Cards
		The bump map is combined with the environment map and the resulting 'perturbed' environment map is applied to the original texture.
		In other words, a corresponding environment map coordinate exists for each texel coordinate of a texture map, the value of which is then applied to the texel in order to create a lighting effect.
		The advantage of EMBM is that from multiple light sources to reflective 'real-life' environments, any additions that developers need can be incorporated simultaneously as part of the environment that is being mapped onto the bump.

	Adaptive tri-linear interpolation for use when switching to a new level-of-detail map (US6184894)

	Per Pixel or Per Texel - GameDev.Net Discussion Forums
		The people who feel a need to point out the difference only ever say is "fragment != pixel", which doesn't really educate you as to the correct usage.
		Posted - 8/27/2004 9:48:32 AM So when the graphics card is rasterising the polygons it looks at whether or not anti-aliasing is enabled to determine how many fragments to calculate and draw.
		Ok, so fragments are what pixels are called on the graphics card before they hit the screen and samples are like small sub-pixels.
