On Windows and Linux there is the NVIDIA PerfKit, as well as AMD's GPU PerfStudio and ShaderAnalyzer. Which is why In 2008 this thing called App Store brought native C/C++ OpenGL apps into the Internet era, and made them as easy to install and use as Web apps, and even made them safer to use. Is there a tutorial on how to use Windows, OS X and Linux. When you implement a program with Qt, you can run it on the X Window System (Unix/X11), Apple Mac OS X, and Microsoft Windows NT/9x/2000/XP by simply compiling the source code for the platform you want. OpenGL is the fastest and most widely available software standard for producing high-quality color images of 3D scenes. Should I write my own top layer As a side note, I haven't done much Linux programming. The main problem I am facing right now is deciding how to bridge the gap between OpenGL and the operating system, as I intend to do all my development across Windows, Linux, and Mac. OpenGL is the fastest and most widely acquirable cipher accepted for producing high-quality colouration images of 3D scenes. On Mac OS X, we have a whole suite of free OpenGL tools including the profiler, driver monitor, and shader builder. Secondly, Windows will use the Direct3D9 back-end by default while Linux will use the OpenGL back-end. I don't really care about DX11, openGL is pretty ok and is likely to improve a lot in the future. It's almost weekend, and time for a lighthearted post on the two realtime 3D computer graphics libraries that are available on Windows in 2011: OpenGL and Direct3D. C++ is still there, and in fact, if you want to do some serious low-level high-speed graphics work, you'll need to dust off your mad C++ skillz and wrap your head around DirectX (which is to Windows as OpenGL is to OSX/iOS). Having Direct X 11.1 only on windows 8 isn't a big deal and no-one complains when Apple say iOS 6 dev is only supported with this new xCode that only runs on mountain lion now do they. I didn't see this coming: Mark Shuttleworth, founder of Ubuntu backer Canonical, has announced that somewhere down the road, Ubuntu will be switching Ubuntu's base graphics system from the venerable X Windows System to Wayland. In his blog posting, Shuttleworth wrote: "The next To do this, it uses OpenGL, a high-performance, cross-language, cross-platform graphics applications programming interface (API). Honestly I will never understand why you strive so much for the sake of sticking to a not-so-good product. Using GLFW, GLEW, GLM, OpenGL 3.2 core (with some 3.3 extensions because of OS X limitations), BASS or FMOD for sound. 1.1 (with right-to-left support, improved image caching, and text input improvements: support for split-screen virtual keyboard, and Pinch Area to provide a declarative API for handling touch input) and the QML Shaders plugin (embed OpenGL shader effects in QML apps). Shaw, VP of corporate communications at Microsoft stated: … most of the Arguably, the notion that tablets are PCs has been dogma at Microsoft for over a decade and Windows running on all form factors has been a strategic guiding principle.
