by the way my fictional "glW" interface partially solves the cross-platform issue in that at least the context creation is not tied to the concrete windowing system. And if you only need the gl context for offscreen rendering, you can keep total plat]]> Thu, 01 Dec 2011 11:41:58 PST http://www.opengl.org/discussion_boards/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=306266#Post306266 Posted by mhagain:
[quote=Alfonse Reinheart]However nice that would be, it would certainly require new hardware, while the OP is asking for something that can be done on [i]current[/i] hardware. He's just asking to have access to more of what current machines can do.

[quote=aqnuep] About texture sampling states, well that's already part of sampler objects and not texture objects so that was a very bad example.

[quote] Fonts are very OS-dependent and so really wouldn't have a place in OpenGL. No reason why a vendor couldn't provide an appropriate extension with their OS-specific drivers though, if they were sufficently motivated to do so.

[quote]In usual OpenGL fashion, there are multiple possible causes of failure, all of which return GL_INVALID_OPERATION as the error code. I'm actually not sure if there even are any other GL error codes, honestly. $deity knows I've never seen one.[/]]> Mon, 14 Nov 2011 13:37:19 PST http://www.opengl.org/discussion_boards/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=306015#Post306015 Posted by l_belev:
i don't think the original poster (or anyone else except you) had in mind such kind of object-oriented-ness that you are talking about. How would you apply "user-controlled runtime polymorphism" to an api that is interface to hardware?
