What is OpenGL® website?

Web OpenGL® is a software library used to include 2D and 3D computer graphics on the web. As a public specification, OpenGL® can be freely implemented on any platform without license fees. Partly for this reason, it has become quite popular and by mid -2011 each main web browser was supported through the WebGL ™ library. In addition to its popularity on personal computers, the OpenGL® website is available on many other platforms such as mobile phones and some video game consoles. Each manufacturer has provided its own software libraries to help with the task, but programmers would still have to program graphics for each piece of hardware. Each program would then have to be tested separately on different hardware. If some new graphics cards were issued after the software release, TZDE was a high probability that the software would have to be updated to work with new hardware. This process was difficult, time -consuming and expensive.

One solution to this problem was OpenGL®. The new software library could be implemented on every new graphics card, which means that programmers would have to program their graphics only once, and if the graphics were accurate and current, the software would start. OpenGL® also solved the test problem: all graphics cards have become more or less from the programming perspective. When running the same on every type of computer, it opened the possibility of easily transferring games and other graphics software between different operating systems and even hardware platforms. Usually OpenGL® is implemented by the manufacturer of each new graphics card.

Once more and more content was still available, Jesu became more concerned about how to handle online interactive rich media content. OpenGL® has already solved the problem for software, but websites have technical limitations on how much access they have to countAci and his hardware. Web OpenGL® is trying to solve this problem by making the OpenGL® library available in the browser without granting web applications any other access to the computer on which it is running.

However, there are some disadvantages of OpenGL®. First, although it is implemented in all major browsers, it may not be installed on a specific computer, especially if this computer starts older software. The OpenGL® website can be very resource demanding and does not have to run smoothly on computers with a lower end or netbooks. The programmer can specify exactly what the computer wants to display, but the rendering process can fail or interrupt in an unexpected way.
