| '''OpenGL extension EXT.geometry_shader4 |
| |
| This module customises the behaviour of the |
| OpenGL.raw.GL.EXT.geometry_shader4 to provide a more |
| Python-friendly API |
| |
| Overview (from the spec) |
| |
| EXT_geometry_shader4 defines a new shader type available to be run on the |
| GPU, called a geometry shader. Geometry shaders are run after vertices are |
| transformed, but prior to color clamping, flat shading and clipping. |
| |
| A geometry shader begins with a single primitive (point, line, |
| triangle). It can read the attributes of any of the vertices in the |
| primitive and use them to generate new primitives. A geometry shader has a |
| fixed output primitive type (point, line strip, or triangle strip) and |
| emits vertices to define a new primitive. A geometry shader can emit |
| multiple disconnected primitives. The primitives emitted by the geometry |
| shader are clipped and then processed like an equivalent OpenGL primitive |
| specified by the application. |
| |
| Furthermore, EXT_geometry_shader4 provides four additional primitive |
| types: lines with adjacency, line strips with adjacency, separate |
| triangles with adjacency, and triangle strips with adjacency. Some of the |
| vertices specified in these new primitive types are not part of the |
| ordinary primitives, instead they represent neighboring vertices that are |
| adjacent to the two line segment end points (lines/strips) or the three |
| triangle edges (triangles/tstrips). These vertices can be accessed by |
| geometry shaders and used to match up the vertices emitted by the geometry |
| shader with those of neighboring primitives. |
| |
| Since geometry shaders expect a specific input primitive type, an error |
| will occur if the application presents primitives of a different type. |
| For example, if a geometry shader expects points, an error will occur at |
| Begin() time, if a primitive mode of TRIANGLES is specified. |
