Résumé

This book is about OpenGL on Mac OS X. The Macintosh platform has fully embraced OpenGL throughout its visual systems, and in many ways, the Mac is one of the best platforms for OpenGL development. However, the Mac has numerous ways of accessing OpenGL and large configuration and performance differences from other platforms. With the Mac platform increasing in popularity, developers need to understand how to access the various OpenGL APIs on the Mac, performance characteristics of the Mac, and how to use other Mac-native APIs with OpenGL.The goal of this book is to enumerate the various ways of accessing OpenGL on the Mac, creating and setting up OpenGL prototypes under various APIs available. From this foundation, the book will move into detailed discussions of each of these APIs. Following this extended foundation the book will then explore the various characteristics of performance optimization for the Mac, as it differs from other platforms, and spend a large part of the book discussing how to integrate the various other Mac-native APIs into OpenGL.
