To assist with analysis, View Samples also draws red lines around each
bucket, or separately rendered block.
When the Minimum and Maximum number of samples are equal, the
diagram shows all buckets as white.

Samples per Pixel group
Set the minimum and maximum sample rate.
Minimum Sets the minimum sample rate. The value represents the number
of samples per pixel. A value greater than or equal to 1 indicates that one or
more samples are computed per pixel. A fractional value indicates that one
sample is computed for every N pixels (for example, 1/4 computes a minimum
of one sample for every four pixels). Default=1/4.
Maximum Sets the maximum sample rate. If neighboring samples find a
difference in contrast that exceeds the contrast limit, the area containing the
contrast is subdivided to the depth specified by Maximum. Default=4.
The values of the Minimum and Maximum lists are "locked" together so that
the value of Minimum can't exceed the value of Maximum.
