OpenGL.Net

Modern OpenGL binding for C#.

Generated from the lastest official XML specification, OpenGL.Net provides:

• Strongly typed enumerants: we like strongly-typed enumerations and flags.
• Function pointer wrappers, with unsafe and strongly-typed arguments: because the garbage collector we're required to pin managed objects in order to use the OpenGL entry points; OpenGL.Net functions already fix the arguments for you. Of course the unmanaged pointer capability is reserved for those situation that you'll face.
• OpenGL entry points overloading.
• Automatic entry points aliasing management: many OpenGL commands were introduced in extensions, which were promoted from ARB or in core specification; if the semantic of these commands didn't change, they can be called equivalently. When the OpenGL specification assert a command equivalency, the corresponding OpenGL.Net function will fallback to equivalent commands in case the current host does not implement the specific core function.
• Fully documented OpenGL entry points with the official manual pages (GL2 and GL4 repositories): having a nice and complete documentation integrated with your IDE will be of great help.
• Integrated entry points call logging: every OpenGL call could be logged for debugging. Additionally every OpenGL command is checked for errors, to catch a soon as possible OpenGL errors.

Currently implemented API are:

• OpenGL 4.5, including compatibility profile
• OpenGL ES 3.2, including OpenGL ES 1.0
• WGL, GLX 1.4 and EGL (Native Platform Interface) 1.5 as platform APIs.
