opengl programming guide 8th edition.pdf

openGL® Programming Guide, Eighth Edition, provides clear explanations of OpenGL functionality and techniques, including processing geometric objects with vertex, tessellation, and geometry shaders using geometric transformations and viewing matrices; working with pixels and texture maps through fragment shaders; and advanced data techniques using framebuffer objects and compute shaders.


New OpenGL features covered in this edition include

Best practices and sample code for taking full advantage of shaders and the entire shading pipeline (including geometry and tessellation shaders)
Integration of general computation into the rendering pipeline via compute shaders
Techniques for binding multiple shader programs at once during application execution
Latest GLSL features for doing advanced shading techniques
Additional new techniques for optimizing graphics program performance
