C# Class Tao.OpenGl.Gl

Creates a System.Delegate that can be used to call an OpenGL function, core or extension.

Determines whether the specified OpenGL extension category is available in the current OpenGL context. Equivalent to IsExtensionSupported(name, true)

Tries to reload the given OpenGL function (core or extension).

Use this function if you require greater granularity when loading OpenGL entry points.

While the automatic initialisation will load all OpenGL entry points, in some cases the initialisation can take place before an OpenGL Context has been established. In this case, use this function to load the entry points for the OpenGL functions you will need, or use ReloadFunctions() to load all available entry points.

This function returns true if the given OpenGL function is supported, false otherwise.

To query for supported extensions use the IsExtensionSupported() function instead.

Loads all OpenGL functions (core and extensions).

This function will be automatically called the first time you use any opengl function. There is

Call this function manually whenever you need to update OpenGL entry points. This need may arise if you change the pixelformat/visual, or in case you cannot (or do not want) to use the automatic initialization of the GL class.

Builds a cache of all supported extensions.

Executes "uname" which returns a string representing the name of the underlying Unix kernel.

Retrieves the entry point for a dynamically exported OpenGL function.

The Marshal.GetDelegateForFunctionPointer method can be used to turn the return value into a call-able delegate.

This function is cross-platform. It determines the underlying platform and uses the correct wgl, glx or agl GetAddress function to retrieve the function pointer.
