TWiki . Games . OpenGL-Reference

This is a community maintained version of the OpenGL function reference adjusted to the JOGL syntax. Most Information is based on the OpenGL SDK Documentation, which can be found at http://www.opengl.org/sdk/docs/man/

There are two section to this index page:
1. The alphabetic indexing started by cylab, and
2. The thematic view started, by Ka-El,
is more compact with the gl prefix removed and also more informative with row heading.
Please indicate which portion of this document you are editing so as not to conflict with other members editing this page.

Categoric View of GL Client/Server States

I'll start the heading for the gl states for some else to fill in. The feature of displaying where each state might be used on move-over each would be nicest. - Ka-El
