Detailed Description

A set of miscellaneous openGL helper functions.

Member Function Documentation

resetErrorState()

static void OpenGLHelpers::resetErrorState ( )

static

Clears the GL error state.

isContextActive()

static bool OpenGLHelpers::isContextActive ( )

static

Returns true if the current thread has an active OpenGL context.

clear()

static void OpenGLHelpers::clear ( Colour colour )

static

Clears the current context using the given colour.

enableScissorTest()

static void OpenGLHelpers::enableScissorTest ( Rectangle< int > clip )

static

isExtensionSupported()

static bool OpenGLHelpers::isExtensionSupported ( const char * extensionName )

static

Checks whether the current context supports the specified extension.

getExtensionFunction()

static void * OpenGLHelpers::getExtensionFunction ( const char * functionName )

static

Returns the address of a named GL extension function.

getGLSLVersionString()

static String OpenGLHelpers::getGLSLVersionString ( )

static

Returns a version string such as "#version 150" suitable for prefixing a GLSL shader on this platform.

translateVertexShaderToV3()

static String OpenGLHelpers::translateVertexShaderToV3 ( const String & )

static

Makes some simple textual changes to a shader program to try to convert old GLSL keywords to their v3 equivalents.

Before doing this, the function will check whether the current context is actually using a later version of the language, and if not it will not make any changes. Obviously this is not a real parser, so will only work on simple code!

translateFragmentShaderToV3()

static String OpenGLHelpers::translateFragmentShaderToV3 ( const String & )

static

Makes some simple textual changes to a shader program to try to convert old GLSL keywords to their v3 equivalents.

Before doing this, the function will check whether the current context is actually using a later version of the language, and if not it will not make any changes. Obviously this is not a real parser, so will only work on simple code!
