glInfoExample

Learning Objectives

This example demonstrates how to display your GL status like the openGL version, details about your graphics card, shader support or available openGL extensions. A full report can be saved to bin/data/openglReport.txt. The example also includes a few functions from the OpenGL Extension Wrangler Library (GLEW).

You will learn how to..

• access GL details by using functions like glGetString(), glewIsSupported() or glGetIntegerv()
• retrieve openGL extensions and available calls as a list

Expected Behavior

When launching this app, you should see a text listing your openGL version, vendor, renderer and other details about your setup.

Instructions for use:

• Press the space key to load the full report. A text editor should open a document containing among other things your openGL extensions and shader limits. It will automatically be saved to bin/data/openglReport.txt.
