OpenGL Programming Practice Exam
OpenGL (Open Graphics Library) is a graphics rendering
API which is used to develop 2D and 3D graphics applications. It supports many platforms by giving a
set of functions which access graphics
hardware to render complex scenes, shapes, and animations. OpenGL is
used in game development, simulations, CAD applications, and
virtual reality. It issues commands to the graphics
processing unit (GPU) how to render images, shapes, and textures.
OpenGL supports hardware acceleration, as needed to render high-performance graphics.
