OpenGL

OpenGL (Open Graphics Library) is a cross-language, cross-platform application programming interface (API) for rendering 2D and 3D vector graphics.

Contents

Installation

To run any application that uses OpenGL you will need to install driver(s) for your hardware (either GPUs or CPUs)

  • swr : High performance software rasterizer that uses AVX and AVX2 CPU instructions, also known as OpenSWR.

• nvidia-utils is proprietary driver for NVIDIA GPUs.

• amdgpu-pro-libglAUR is proprietary driver for AMD PRO GPUs.

Verification

To verify your OpenGL installation you can use mesa-demos glxinfo and you should get output like this :

(with different values depending on your setup of course)

From the same package you can also try glxgears , you should see 3 rotating gears.

Switching between drivers

For Hybrid graphics you might want to see PRIME.

You can override used driver using the following environment variable:

By default mesa searches for drivers in /lib/dri/ you can see the list of drivers by

driver is the name of the driver without _dri.so . If it failed it will fallback to llvmpipe.

You can also use OpenGL software rasterizer drivers by setting the following environment variables:

driver is one of softpipe , llvmpipe , or swr .

Development

Using OpenGL in code requires functions loader, read more at Khronos.

How to Install OpenGL on Ubuntu Linux

What Is OpenGL?
OpenGL is a Graphics rendering API which is operating system independent, window system independent and has high-quality color images composed of geometric and image primitives.
OpenGL APIs can use following …

• Gl
  • OpenGL API implementation (http://www.opengl.org)
• Glu
  • OpenGL Utility
• Glut – GLUT (OpenGL Utility Toolkit) – Glut is portable windowing API and it is not officially part of OpenGL.
  • OpenGL Utility Toolkit (http://www.opengl.org/resources/libraries/glut/)
• FLTK
  • FlashLight ToolKit (http://www.fltk.org/)
• GLEW…

Now lets see How to install OpenGL on out Ubuntu OS.

Now because GLUT (OpenGL Utility Toolkit) depends upon OpenGL and a number of other related libraries, if we install GLUT then OpenGL will be automatically be installed.

Run the following commands to install OpenGL.

Now to test if OpenGl libraries are working fine on our Linux, we will create a C++ program and test it.

So create a following C++ Program.

Now give the command below to compile your code.

Now run your OpenGl program with following command

If a window pops up when you run the program, then OpenGL is working on your Ubuntu OS.

Как обновить Opengl до 4.4

Как бы мне обновить до 4.4 OpenGL, у меня сейчас 3.1!

телепаты в отпуске. остальные не понимают, в чем проблема. все ж как обычно делается

У меня в эфектах только 3.1 выше нету

Тебе нужны закрытые драйвера.

А с чего ты взял, что «эфекты» сами поддерживают что-то выше?

Ну так мне друг сказал что в эфектах менять всё, а дальше я не знаю как сменить на самый новый OpenGL

С таким описанием ты никогда не получишь помощи.

Ну как мне обновить OpenGL? У меня сейчас 3.1 мне нужен 4.4 и новее!

Какая видеокарта? Какая версия mint?

Ну как мне обновить OpenGL? У меня сейчас 3.1 мне нужен 4.4 и новее!

идешь в магазин и докупаешь

Похоже на толсто-троллинг

Взгляните на темы персонажа.

Пойми, твоё оборудование может не иметь нужной версии OpenGL. А для этого ты должен сообщить нам свою видеокарту.

А ты уверен, что твоя карта поддерживает 4.4?

Твоё оборудование не может в OpenGL 4.4

Но 4.0 под вендой должно быть. А под линуксом годик-другой подождать дров.

4.2 уже реализовано же вроде.

Уже есть 4.2, осталось подождать, пока в дистрибутивы запакуют.

У нвидии в блобе 4.5

Больше чем OpenGL 3.1 у тебя не будет. Зачем тебе 4.4? Есть вариант программного МЕДЛЕННОГО драйвера llvmpipe и что-то там еще новее — но кажись софтово тоже 4.4 не реализовали.

Честно говоря, я не знаю _ни одной_ игры, которая хочет OpenGL 4. Знаю меньше 5, которая хочет OpenGL 3.

Getting Started

So you want to take advantage of the power of the OpenGL API? If you are visiting this page because a game or software uses the OpenGL API, you need to install the appropriate graphic driver which enables usage of the functionality provided.

To program using the OpenGL API, you need the driver and the development package (depends on platform and programming language). More platform-specific details are described in the sections below.

Contents

This Wiki maintains a FAQ page for OpenGL.

Downloading OpenGL

In all three major desktop platforms (Linux, macOS, and Windows), OpenGL more or less comes with the system. However, you will need to ensure that you have downloaded and installed a recent driver for your graphics hardware.

Windows

Appropriate Windows driver websites:

Some sites also distribute beta versions of graphics drivers, which may give you access to bug fixes or new functionality before an official driver release from the manufacturer:

Without drivers, you will default to a software version of OpenGL 1.1 (on Win98, ME, and 2000), a Direct3D wrapper that supports OpenGL 1.1 (WinXP), or a Direct3D wrapper that supports OpenGL 1.1 (Windows Vista and Windows 7). None of these options are particularly fast, so installing drivers is always a good idea.

If your system does not contain a GPU, or the GPU vendor delivers graphics drivers providing OpenGL support that’s so old as to be useless to you, you might want to consider installing the Mesa3D OpenGL library on your system. See this wiki link for details:

Linux

Graphics on Linux is almost exclusively implemented using the X Window system. Supporting OpenGL on Linux involves using GLX extensions to the X Server. There is a standard Application Binary Interface defined for OpenGL on Linux that gives application compatibility for OpenGL for a range of drivers. In addition the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) is a driver framework that allows drivers to be written and interoperate within a standard framework to easily support hardware acceleration, the DRI is included in of XFree86 4.0 but may need a card specific driver to be configured after installation. These days, XFree86 has been rejected in favor of XOrg due to the change in the license of XFree86, so many developers left Xfree86 and joined the XOrg group. Popular Linux distros come with XOrg now.

Vendors have different approaches to drivers on Linux, some support Open Source efforts using the DRI, and others support closed source frameworks but all methods support the standard ABI that will allow correctly written OpenGL applications to run on Linux.

For more information on developing OpenGL applications on Linux, see Platform specifics: Linux

macOS

Unlike other platforms, where the Operating System and OpenGL implementations are often updated separately, OpenGL updates are included as part of macOS system updates. To obtain the latest OpenGL on macOS, users should upgrade to the latest OS release, which can be found at Apple.com.

For developers, a default installation of macOS does not include any OpenGL headers, nor does it include other necessary development tools. These are installed by a separate developer tools package called Xcode. This installer includes the OpenGL headers, compilers (gcc), debuggers (gdb), Apple’s Xcode IDE, and a number of performance tools useful for OpenGL application development.

For more information on developing OpenGL applications on macOS, see Platform specifics: macOS.

Writing an OpenGL Application

The first step is to pick your language. Bindings for OpenGL exist in many languages, from C# and Java to Python and Lua. Some languages have multiple sets of OpenGL bindings, none of them being official. All of them are ultimately based on the C/C++ bindings.

If you are not using C/C++, you must download and install a package or library for your chosen language that includes the OpenGL bindings. Some come pre-installed, but others have separate downloads.

If you are using C/C++, then you must first set up a build environment (Visual Studio project, GNU makefile, CMake file, etc) that can link to OpenGL. Under Windows, you need to statically link to a library called OpenGL32.lib (note that you still link to OpenGL32.lib if you’re building a 64-bit executable. The «32» part is meaningless). Visual Studio, and most Windows compilers, come with this library.

On Linux, you need to link to libGL. This is done with a command-line parameter of «-lGL».

Initialization

Before you can actually use OpenGL in a program, you must first initialize it. Because OpenGL is platform-independent, there is not a standard way to initialize OpenGL; each platform handles it differently. Non-C/C++ language bindings can also handle these differently.

There are two phases of OpenGL initialization. The first phase is the creation of an OpenGL Context; the second phase is to load all of the necessary functions to use OpenGL. Some non-C/C++ language bindings merge these into one.

OpenGL Context Creation

An OpenGL context represents all of OpenGL. Creating one is very platform-specific, as well as language-binding specific.

If you are using the C/C++ language binding for OpenGL, then you are strongly advised to use a window toolkit for managing this task. These libraries create a window, attach an OpenGL context to this window, and manage basic input for that window. Once you are comfortable with OpenGL, you can then start learning how to do this manually.

Most non-C/C++ language bindings will provide you with a language-specific mechanism for creating a context.

Getting Functions

If you are using a non-C/C++ language binding, then the maintainer of that binding will already handle this as part of context creation. If you are using C/C++, read on.

In order to use OpenGL, you must get OpenGL API functions. For most libraries you are familiar with, you simply #include a header file, make sure a library is linked into your project or makefile, and it all works. OpenGL doesn’t work that way.

For reasons that are ultimately irrelevant to this discussion, you must manually load functions via a platform-specific API call. This boilerplate work is done with various OpenGL loading libraries; these make this process smooth. You are strongly advised to use one.

If you want to do it manually however, there is a guide as to how to load functions manually. You still should use an extension loader.

Using OpenGL

OpenGL is a rendering library. What OpenGL does not do is retain information about an «object». All OpenGL sees is a ball of triangles and a bag of state with which to render them. It does not remember that you drew a line in one location and a sphere in another.

Because of that, the general way to use OpenGL is to draw everything you need to draw, then show this image with a platform-dependent buffer swapping command. If you need to update the image, you draw everything again, even if you only need to update part of the image. If you want to animate objects moving on the screen, you need a loop that constantly clears and redraws the screen.

There are techniques for only updating a portion of the screen. And you can use OpenGL with these techniques. But OpenGL itself doesn’t do it internally; you must remember where you drew everything. You must figure out what needs updating and clear only that part of the screen. And so forth

There are many tutorials and other materials available for learning how to use OpenGL, both on this wiki and online.

OpenGL Viewers

These are programs that you install and run, and they give you information specific to the OpenGL API your system implements, like the version offered by your system, the vendor, the renderer, the extension list, supported viewport size, line size, point size, plus many other details. Some might include a benchmark. Some are standalone benchmarks.
