  2. Graphic texture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphic_texture

    Graphic granite is a leucocratic granitic rock consisting of alkali feldspar with exsolved quartz typically forming a distinctive repetitive pattern sometimes resembling cuneiform writing. Experiments have shown that graphic granite texture is derived from large single crystals of quartz and feldspar interleaving to create the cuneiform illusion.

    Solid surface material kitchen countertop. Solid surface material, also known as solid surface composite, [1] is a man-made material usually composed of a combination of alumina trihydrate (ATH), acrylic, epoxy or polyester resins and pigments. It is most frequently used for seamless countertop installations.

  6. Order-independent transparency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order-independent_transparency

    Commonly, 3D geometry with transparency is rendered by blending (using alpha compositing) all surfaces into a single buffer (think of this as a canvas).Each surface occludes existing color and adds some of its own color depending on its alpha value, a ratio of light transmittance.

  7. I-type granite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I-type_Granite

    I-type granites, like other granite types, can vary in crystal size from aphanitic to phaneritic; crystal size distributions include porphyritic, seriate, and rarely equigranular textures. Like other granites, phenocrysts in I-type granites are commonly feldspars, but can also be hornblende .

    GIF animation of an Apollonian sphere packing with transparent background. Transparency in computer graphics is possible in a number of file formats.The term "transparency" is used in various ways by different people, but at its simplest there is "full transparency" i.e. something that is completely invisible.

  9. Granophyre - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Granophyre

    The texture is called granophyric. The texture can be similar to micrographic texture and to the coarser graphic intergrowths of quartz and alkali feldspar common in pegmatite . These textures document simultaneous crystallization of quartz and feldspar from a silicate melt at the eutectic point, perhaps in the presence of a water-rich phase.
