OpenGL ES 2.0 Reference Pages

Use the index at the left to choose any OpenGL ES reference page for viewing. The reference pages (also known as "man pages") include all of the important usage information for each command. This information includes a description of all parameters, return values, error conditions, and related commands.

Browser Compatibility

Many of the reference pages depend on relatively complex math equations. We've chosen the industry standard, MathML, for rendering our equations. This standard is gaining widespread support, but there are still some growing pains. Here's what you can expect from different browsers:

• Firefox 1.5+: native support is built-in! Firefox 3.0 will offer the best rendering quality of all currently available browsers if you install the STIX fonts. Older versions of Firefox may outright complain about missing fonts without some mild interventions. See this page for tips on maximizing your MathML rendering experience on Firefox.



• Internet Explorer 6: no native support, but you'll be automatically prompted to install the Design Science MathPlayer plugin which renders our equations beautifully.



• Internet Explorer 7: works out of the box with native MathML support, but it can be a little rough on the eyes.



• Opera 9.5+: native support is limping along, but don't rely on it rendering correctly yet.



• Safari: no native support and no known add-ons. Sorry!
