// .NAME vtkOpenGLExtensionManager - Interface class for querying and using OpenGL extensions.
//
// .SECTION Description
//
// vtkOpenGLExtensionManager acts as an interface to OpenGL extensions.  It
// provides methods to query OpenGL extensions on the current or a given
// render window and to load extension function pointers.  Currently does
// not support GLU extensions since the GLU library is not linked to VTK.
//
// Before using vtkOpenGLExtensionManager, an OpenGL context must be created.
// This is generally done with a vtkRenderWindow.  Note that simply creating
// the vtkRenderWindow is not sufficient.  Usually you have to call Render
// before the actual OpenGL context is created.  You can specify the
// RenderWindow with the SetRenderWindow method.
// \code
// vtkOpenGLExtensionManager *extensions = vtkOpenGLExtensionManager::New();
// extensions->SetRenderWindow(renwin);
// \endcode
// If no vtkRenderWindow is specified, the current OpenGL context (if any)
// is used.
//
// Generally speaking, when using OpenGL extensions, you will need an
// vtkOpenGLExtensionManager and the prototypes defined in vtkgl.h.
// \code
// #include "vtkOpenGLExtensionManager.h"
// #include "vtkgl.h"
// \endcode
// The vtkgl.h include file contains all the constants and function
// pointers required for using OpenGL extensions in a portable and
// namespace safe way.  vtkgl.h is built from parsed glext.h, glxext.h, and
// wglext.h files.  Snapshots of these files are distributed with vtkSNL,
// but you can also set CMake options to use other files.
//
// To use an OpenGL extension, you first need to make an instance of
// vtkOpenGLExtensionManager and give it a vtkRenderWindow.  You can then
// query the vtkOpenGLExtensionManager to see if the extension is supported
// with the ExtensionSupported method.  Valid names for extensions are
// given in the OpenGL extension registry at
// \ref http://oss.sgi.com/projects/ogl-sample/registry/ .
// You can also grep vtkgl.h (which will be in the binary build directory
// if vtkSNL is not installed) for appropriate names.  There are also
// special extensions GL_VERSION_X_X (where X_X is replaced with a major
// and minor version, respectively) which contain all the constants and
// functions for OpenGL versions for which the gl.h header file is of an
// older version than the driver.
//
// \code
// if (   !extensions->ExtensionSupported("GL_VERSION_1_2")
//     || !extensions->ExtensionSupported("GL_ARB_multitexture") ) {
//  {
//    vtkErrorMacro("Required extensions not supported!");
//  }
// \endcode
//
// Once you have verified that the extensions you want exist, before you
// use them you have to loaded them with the LoadExtension method.
//
// \code
// extensions->LoadExtension("GL_VERSION_1_2");
// extensions->LoadExtension("GL_ARB_multitexture");
// \endcode
//
// Once you have queried and loaded all of the extensions you need, you can
// delete the vtkExtensionManager.  To use a constant of an extension, simply
// replace the "GL_" prefix with "vtkgl::".  Likewise, replace the "gl" prefix
// of functions with "vtkgl::".  In rare cases, an extension will add a type.
// In this case, add vtkgl:: to the type (i.e. vtkgl::GLchar).
//
// \code
// extensions->Delete();
// ...
// vtkgl::ActiveTexture(vtkgl::TEXTURE0_ARB);
// \endcode
// For wgl extensions, replace the "WGL_" and "wgl" prefixes with
// "vtkwgl::".  For glX extensions, replace the "GLX_" and "glX" prefixes
// with "vtkglX::".
