Unless stated otherwise, the properties of fused silica (quartz glass) and germania glass are derived from the SciGlass glass database by forming the arithmetic mean of all the experimental values from different authors (in general more than 10 independent sources for quartz glass and T g of germanium oxide glass). The list is not exhaustive.
S3 Texture Compression (S3TC) (sometimes also called DXTn, DXTC, or BCn) is a group of related lossy texture compression algorithms originally developed by Iourcha et al. of S3 Graphics, Ltd. [1] [2] for use in their Savage 3D computer graphics accelerator.
Rippled glass refers to textured glass with marked surface waves. [1] Louis Comfort Tiffany made use of such textured glass to represent, for example, water or leaf veins. The texture is created during the glass sheet-forming process. A sheet is formed from molten glass with a roller that spins on itself, while travelling forward.
Beveled glass has also been used with clear and colored textured glass to create designs. Textured glass is typically 1 ⁄ 8 inch (3 mm) thick and has a distinct visible texture. Beveled glass is typical made from 1 ⁄ 4 inch (6 mm) float plate glass but thicknesses up to 1 ⁄ 2 inch (10 mm) have been used for larger windows. The width of ...

Many non-Adobe commercial graphics applications also support Photoshop-compatible plugins – Paint Shop Pro, [4] PhotoImpact, and Corel PhotoPaint are some of the better-known ones. There are several dozen more plugin hosts, including lesser-known products like Chasys Draw IES, the free-software image editor GIMP, and viewers like IrfanView. [5]
The result is a natural amorphous glass with few or no crystals. Examples include obsidian . Pegmatitic texture occurs during magma cooling when some minerals may grow so large that they become massive (the size ranges from a few centimetres to several metres).
Rolled glass was first commercially produced around the 1830s and is widely used today. It is often called cathedral glass, but this has nothing to do with medieval cathedrals, where the glass used was hand-blown. Cathedral glass comes in a wide variety of colours and surface textures including hammered, rippled, seedy, and marine textures. It ...
