The new format descriptions stuff makes software more reliable, fantastic.
Something I read (I'm not entirely sure If I read it right but just want to nip any idea about this in the but.) about...

Would like to see more removal of deprecated functions and stuff. Cleaning.
We have Core and compatibility profile now. There is no reason to not remove/deprecate/clean old cruft form the core...

The compute shaders with the shader storage buffer objects are very interesting. (Calculating data and integrating that data into the graphics pipeline + other direction and doing both in an advanced...

Just to add something.

I looked at the way context creation is done.

The application should be able to
a) get major, minor and core or compatibility profile (this is done and good, please...

Okay but do not use an uint for the bit.
Use a bool or something.
(Not an object but the primitive type, it gives better performance I think.)

Make it so it does NOT require compatibility.
Seriously, make sure it only requires core!!!

the author says:


Is it true?
Is the working group going to or planning to make and bring a revamped...

YOu could also add the lowest previous api version to which the current stuff is compatible too.
Can do this in drivers.

Instead of profiles.
Programs only have to add their OpenGL version...

No direct state access?
What does Khronos has against that?
Just add DSA counterparts of the non DSA stuff.

And seriously why do they even continue to make this a minor version bump? The...

I now see what you mean.
Thought that it was about something else.

Thanks for explaining.

Fonts are (in a more limited way) already possible.

The little library that uses shaders and other basic building blocks does speak to me as a good...

What do you mean?
Without further explanation.

And with that that extension has nothing to do with endianness is that I mean that the extension is not made to do things with or because of...

I have accidental pasted two unrelated pieces of text together that was supposed to be for other forums.

Pasted text in wrong topic and forum.

Another discussion about this:

Path rendering - OpenGL.org Discussion and Help Forums

After reading some more.
Some additional things come to mind while reading

It would be better to have functions that allow to change...

@ Mark
Thanks


Didn't instancing supposed to reduce the amount of memory used where possible by using one object as a reference for all the instances of that object used?

It doesn't actually...

I agree on that, but let us just check the overview of the EXT_abgr extension:



Based on that, I'm pretty unsure whether implementations supporting the EXT_abgr extension do actually support...

@Mark Kilgard

I'm trying to say that I want to also make 3d paths where the paths themselves are specified in 3d coordinates.

I'm happy for the stuff that can be done but I do NOT want to be...

I would like to have 3d paths please.

That the paths themselves can be in 3 dimensions.
Would be nice to be able to build scenes with them.

Also regarding OpenVG.
As api it actually wasn't...

ABGR is there because you could put textures and stuff in that ordering that DirectX applications can use.

Some versions of DirectX have abgr ordering.

EXT_abgr is not interchangeable with the...

Assuming gamma correction of 2.2 is enough is something very dangerous.

Gamma correction is about being precise, accurate.

If you mean that gamma correction means correction to a certain value. Then you have missed the point a little bit.
I want that the graphic card...

In OpenGL there are functions for gamma correction.
However if you have different sources and want to blend stuff with each other this isn't very handy.
It would be useful to, for any 1D,2D,3D,......
