+A [C++11][]/[OpenGL][]>=[1.0][](/[GLM][]) [trait][]s library.
|

|
|
|
5
|
+This library seeks to unify some parts of the OpenGL [API][] to ease [generic
|
|
|
6
|
+programming][]. It also provides sensible default arguments, [optional][debug]
|
|
|
7
|
+[check][]s for [version][]/[extension][] support, and optional support for
|
|
|
8
|
+[OpenGL Mathematics (GLM)][GLM] (which provides [GLSL][]-like types).

|
+A more philosophical description: it aims to make the implicit symmetries of
|
|
|
11
|
+the OpenGL API explicit. In the process, some wrinkles in the symmetry are also
|
|
|
12
|
+brought to light. Therefore, it may be useful for learning and understanding
|
|
|
13
|
+the OpenGL API (although this use case may be limited due to the (ab)use of C++
|
|
|
14
|
+language features).
