@class wxGLAttribsBase
This is the base class for wxGLAttributes and wxGLContextAttrs.
It stores internally the list required by OS and OpenGL driver for setting
display and rendering context attributes.
Normally this class is not used directly. But there's a case where it its
member functions are useful: setting attributes not handled by wxWidgets.
Suppose the OpenGL Board sets a new functionality of the context, by adding
a new attribute (let's call it NEW_CTX_F) and also a new type of context by
allowing a new bit value (let's call it NEW_BITS) for the CONTEXT_PROFILE_MASK_ARB
value. These new values can be added to the list using code like this:
@code
wxGLContextAttrs cxtAttrs;
// Some values
cxtAttrs.CoreProfile().OGLVersion(5, 0); // OGL 5.0, whenever available
cxtAttrs.PlatformDefaults();
// Values usually are platform-dependant named (even value assigned!)
#if defined(__WXMSW__)
cxtAttrs.AddAttribute(WGL_NEW_CTX_F);
cxtAttrs.AddAttribBits(WGL_CONTEXT_PROFILE_MASK_ARB, WGL_NEW_BITS);
#elif defined(__WXX11__)
cxtAttrs.AddAttribute(GLX_NEW_CTX_F);
cxtAttrs.AddAttribBits(GLX_CONTEXT_PROFILE_MASK_ARB, GLX_NEW_BITS);
#else
// Other platforms
#endif
cxtAttrs.EndList(); // Don't forget this
cxtAttrs.SetNeedsARB(true); // Context attributes are set by an ARB-function

@class wxGLContext
An instance of a wxGLContext represents the state of an OpenGL state
machine and the connection between OpenGL and the system.
The OpenGL state includes everything that can be set with the OpenGL API:
colors, rendering variables, buffer data ids, texture objects, etc. It is
possible to have multiple rendering contexts share buffer data and textures.
This feature is specially useful when the application use multiple threads
for updating data into the memory of the graphics card.
Whether one only rendering context is used with or bound to multiple output
windows or if each window has its own bound context is a developer decision.
It is important to take into account that GPU makers may set different pointers
to the same OGL function for different contexts. The way these pointers are
retrieved from the OGL driver should be used again for each new context.
Binding (making current) a rendering context with another instance of a
wxGLCanvas however works only if the both wxGLCanvas instances were created
with the same attributes.
OpenGL version 3 introduced a new type of specification profile, the modern
core profile. The old compatibility profile maintains all legacy features.
Since wxWidgets 3.1.0 you can choose the type of context and even ask for a
specified OGL version number. However, its advised to use only core profile
as the compatibility profile may run a bit slower.
OpenGL core profile specification defines several flags at context creation
that determine not only the type of context but also some features. Some of
these flags can be set in the list of attributes used at wxGLCanvas ctor.
But since wxWidgets 3.1.0 it is strongly encouraged to use the new mechanism:
setting the context attributes with a wxGLContextAttrs object and the canvas
attributes with a wxGLAttributes object.
The best way of knowing if your OpenGL environment supports a specific type
of context is creating a wxGLContext instance and checking wxGLContext::IsOK().
If it returns false, then simply delete that instance and create a new one
with other attributes.
wxHAS_OPENGL_ES is defined on platforms that only have this implementation
available (e.g. the iPhone) and don't support the full specification.

@class wxGLCanvas
wxGLCanvas is a class for displaying OpenGL graphics. It is always used in
conjunction with wxGLContext as the context can only be made current (i.e.
active for the OpenGL commands) when it is associated to a wxGLCanvas.
More precisely, you first need to create a wxGLCanvas window and then
create an instance of a wxGLContext that is initialized with this
wxGLCanvas and then later use either SetCurrent() with the instance of the
wxGLContext or wxGLContext::SetCurrent() with the instance of the
wxGLCanvas (which might be not the same as was used for the creation of the
context) to bind the OpenGL state that is represented by the rendering
context to the canvas, and then finally call SwapBuffers() to swap the
buffers of the OpenGL canvas and thus show your current output.
Notice that versions of wxWidgets previous to 2.9 used to implicitly create a
wxGLContext inside wxGLCanvas itself. This is still supported in the
current version but is deprecated now and will be removed in the future,
please update your code to create the rendering contexts explicitly.
To set up the attributes for the canvas (number of bits for the depth
buffer, number of bits for the stencil buffer and so on) you pass them
in the constructor using a wxGLAttributes instance. You can still use
the way before 3.1.0 (setting up the correct values of the @e attribList
parameter) but it's discouraged.
@note
On those platforms which use a configure script (e.g. Linux and OS X)
OpenGL support is automatically enabled if the relative headers and
libraries are found.
To switch it on under the other platforms (e.g. Windows), you need to edit
the @c setup.h file and set @c wxUSE_GLCANVAS to @c 1 and then also pass
@c USE_OPENGL=1 to the make utility. You may also need to add @c opengl32.lib
(and @c glu32.lib for old OpenGL versions) to the list of the libraries
your program is linked with.
