Key features

• •EGL API: communicating with the native windowing system, choosing configurations, and creating rendering contexts and surfaces
• •Shaders: creating and attaching shader objects; compiling shaders; checking for compile errors; creating, linking, and querying program objects; and using source shaders and program binaries
• •OpenGL ES Shading Language: variables, types, constructors, structures, arrays, attributes, uniform blocks, I/O variables, precision qualifiers, and invariance
• •Geometry, vertices, and primitives: inputting geometry into the pipeline, and assembling it into primitives
• •2D/3D, Cubemap, Array texturing: creation, loading, and rendering; texture wrap modes, filtering, and formats; compressed textures, sampler objects, immutable textures, pixel unpack buffer objects, and mipmapping
• •Fragment shaders: multitexturing, fog, alpha test, and user clip planes
• •Fragment operations: scissor, stencil, and depth tests; multisampling, blending, and dithering
• •Framebuffer objects: rendering to offscreen surfaces for advanced effects
• •Advanced rendering: per-pixel lighting, environment mapping, particle systems, image post-processing, procedural textures, shadow mapping, terrain, and projective texturing
• •Sync objects and fences: synchronizing within host application and GPU execution
