> OpenGL® Programming Guide, Ninth Edition, provides clear explanations of OpenGL functionality and techniques, including processing geometric objects with vertex, tessellation, and geometry shaders using geometric transformations and viewing matrices; working with pixels and texture maps through fragment shaders; and advanced data techniques using framebuffer objects and compute shaders.
New OpenGL features covered in this edition include
- Best practices and sample code for taking full advantage of shaders and the entire shading pipeline (including geometry and tessellation shaders)
- Integration of general computation into the rendering pipeline via compute shaders
- Techniques for binding multiple shader programs at once during application execution
- Latest GLSL features for doing advanced shading techniques
- Additional new techniques for optimizing graphics program performance
