commandlineoutput

commandlineoutput shows the logging capabilities of globjects. The output is:

OpenGL Version:  3.1

OpenGL Renderer: GeForce GTX 960M/PCIe/SSE2

Test Logging of Standard Types:
  void *      00000013E0B5EDE8 : 00000013E0B5EDE8

  Framebuffer           : FrameBufferObject(0)
  Program               : Program(1)

computeshader

computeshader shows how compute shader can be loaded and used with globjects. The output is:

compute-shader source image

programpipelines

programpipelines shows how program pipelines can be configured and used with globjects. The output is:

program-pipelines source image

qtexample

qtexample shows how the Qt framework can be used in conjunction with globjects for rendering within a QWindow. Note: OpenGLWindow was introduced in Qt 5.4. The example can be easily adjusted following the instructions on http://doc.qt.io/.

qt-example source image

shaderincludes

shaderincludes shows how globjects can provide a fallback mechanism for specific features of OpenGL. If a context supports shader includes, the native implementation of the OpenGL driver is used. If the context does not support shader includes, globjects fallback implementation is used, which correctly resolves all includes. Either way, if the include can be resolved successfully, the output is:

shader-includes source image

If the include cannot be resolved correctly, the output is:

shader-includes-not-working source image

sparsetexture

sparsetexture shows how to set up a sparse texture using globjects and then map/unmap pages using the ARB_sparse_texture extension. The output is:

sparse-texture source image

ssbo

ssbo shows how shader storage buffer objects can be setup and used with globjects. The output is:

ssbo source image

states

states shows how OpenGL states can be persisted, set, and unset more conveniently using globjects. This is demonstrated for GL_POINT_SIZE and GL_RASTERIZER_DISCARD states. The output is:

states source image
