A fragment is whatâs produced during the rasterization process. Itâs a potential pixel in the frame buffer â if passes subsequent tests (e.g. depth, stencil, etc.).
Note, rasterization is the process of converting a primitive (e.g. line, polygon, etc.) into smaller units similar to pixels in the frame buffer.
I always liked to call fragments âpixels in training.â Iâve also heard âpixel padawanâ which made me chuckle because Iâm such a fing nerd.
A fragment is the result of rasterization that is then subjected to the gauntlet of fragment tests, such as the scissor test, stencil test, depth test⌠and if it passes, then it graduates to become a pixel.
