   * criteria. Attributes can be classified into two categories:
   * - AtLeast: The attribute value in the returned context meets or exceeds
   *            the value specified in <code>attrib_list</code>.
   * - Exact: The attribute value in the returned context is equal to

   * - <code>PP_GRAPHICS3DATTRIB_BLUE_SIZE</code>:

   *   Category: AtLeast Default: 0.
   * - <code>PP_GRAPHICS3DATTRIB_RED_SIZE</code>:
   *   Category: AtLeast Default: 0.
   * - <code>PP_GRAPHICS3DATTRIB_DEPTH_SIZE</code>:
   *   Category: AtLeast Default: 0.
   * - <code>PP_GRAPHICS3DATTRIB_STENCIL_SIZE</code>:
   *   Category: AtLeast Default: 0.
