OpenGL Extension Viewer
=======================

Introduction
------------

A Qt application to allow the inspection of OpenGL extension strings
on a computer system, the download of header files, extension 
specifications, and the search for relevant strings. 

It can also process scripts to automatically generate C/C++ code
based upon OpenGL functions and constants.

Building this application is fairly straightforward. 

Requirements
------------

This application is built upon QT-4 and the QT-3 support functionality.
The Qt development environment should be installed.

Compilation instructions
------------------------

Just type the following:

>qmake
>make

The application will be the file "viewer" in the directory "viewer"

Required directories
--------------------

The application requires the directory "registry" created and the header
files downloaded before most operations can be performed.

These header files include:

	glext.h	glxext.h wglext.h
	
Functionality
-------------

This application integrates the ability to download the GL extension
specifications, check the extension strings of the current system and
allow searching for keywords and constants across all specifications.

Experimental functionality
--------------------------

An automatic code generator based on a scripting language that allows
header and source files to be generated from selected extensions.

This allows the automatic generation of source files to do tasks like
performnce analysis or extension setup.

History
-------

This project was originally started while I was doing my PhD in 2002. Since
then I've added functionality to this application over the years.
