The extension specifiers are hexadecimal strings that determine various characteristics of the rendering process. OpenGL Extensions Viewer is a reliable software that display the manufacturer-defined binary format of the graphics card, the version currently implemented, the Renderer Name, and all the extensions/renders supported by the user. All these technologies run on top of an abstraction layer called the GL.
This principle of Open Source has also served as the foundation of open source technologies like the Linux open source distribution, Sun's OpenOffice suite, and Microsoft's Office Suite. Since the early 1990s, Open Source has become the de facto standard for software development. The most popular among them are the OpenMAX, OpenSSL, OpenZika, and the open source community based on the Open Source Initiative (OSI).
The Open Source Open Graphics Library (OpenGL) is a type of libraries that provides extensions to the main programming language (GL) that can be used in applications.
