Description Sven Gothel 2023-09-24 01:49:29 CEST 
Z-Epsilon is approximately the smallest Z value recognized by the graphics stack
to make a difference in Z positioning.

Z-Epsilon depends on the current projection matrix,
i.e. Z distance of the viewer.
See http://www.sjbaker.org/steve/omniv/love_your_z_buffer.html

z_epsilon = z * z / ( zNear * ( 1 << zBits ) - z );

We utilize Z-Epsilon as the smallest offset between the button background shape
and the label text.

We also utilize Z-Epsilon as the offset to elevate the active (selected) shape (add z-offset) and select (pick) in Z descending order (Bug 1454).
