SDL_GLprofile

An enumeration of OpenGL profiles.

Contents

Values

SDL_GL_CONTEXT_PROFILE_CORE	OpenGL core profile - deprecated functions are disabled
SDL_GL_CONTEXT_PROFILE_COMPATIBILITY	OpenGL compatibility profile - deprecated functions are allowed
SDL_GL_CONTEXT_PROFILE_ES	OpenGL ES profile - only a subset of the base OpenGL functionality is available

SDL_GL_SetAttribute(SDL_GL_CONTEXT_PROFILE_MASK, SDL_GL_CONTEXT_PROFILE_ES);

This enumeration is used in conjunction with SDL_GL_SetAttribute() and SDL_GL_CONTEXT_PROFILE_MASK. Although the name SDL_GL_CONTEXT_PROFILE_MASK implies that multiple flags can be OR'd together, the profiles are mutually exclusive, and SDL_GL_SetAttribute() accepts at most one of them. Setting the SDL_GL_CONTEXT_PROFILE_MASK attribute to 0 leaves the choice of profile up to SDL. Should be used in conjunction with the SDL_GL_CONTEXT_MAJOR_VERSION and SDL_GL_CONTEXT_MINOR_VERSION attributes, since OpenGL profiles are defined relative to a particular version of OpenGL. There is no way to distinguish between the common and common lite profiles of OpenGL ES versions 1.0 and 1.1.
