Method Detail

loadExtensionLibrary

public static boolean loadExtensionLibrary(java.lang.String name,
                                           java.lang.String version)

Loads an extension library with the given name. The actual library name is automagically worked out in the same way in which the core Magician library load is calculated

Parameters:: name - The name of the extension library to load; version - The version number ( if applicable ) of the library

areExtensionsAvailable

public boolean areExtensionsAvailable()

Tests whether a given extension library is load. This should be overridden by extension subclasses

isExtensionSupported

public boolean isExtensionSupported(java.lang.String extension)

Tests to see whether or not the given extension is available within this implementation of OpenGL

Parameters:: extension - The name of the extension
