string = glu.GetString(name)
glu.GetString()
returns a string describing the GLU version or the GLU extensions that are supported.
The version number is one of the following forms:
<major_number>.<minor_number> <major_number>.<minor_number>.<release_number> |
The version string is of the following form:
<version number><space><vendor-specific information> |
Vendor-specific information is optional. Its format and contents depend on the implementation.
The standard GLU contains a basic set of features and capabilities. If a company or group of companies wish to support other
features, these may be included as extensions to the GLU. If name
is #GLU_EXTENSIONS
, then glu.GetString()
returns a
space-separated list of names of supported GLU extensions. (Extension names never contain spaces.)
Please note that glu.GetString()
only returns information about GLU extensions. Call gl.GetString() to get a list of GL extensions.
glu.GetString()
is an initialization routine. Calling it after a gl.NewList() results in undefined behavior.
Please consult an OpenGL reference manual for more information.
