Detailed Description

Human-readable actions for OpenGL.

GL stands for Graphics Language. It is supposed to be a language to describe graphical operations. However what it really is is a set of commands that do something which needs to be looked up in a manual. To compensate of this lack of clear description, usually people add comments to their code - if they bother to have a good coding style.

Now this approach here is an attempt to describe the operations provided by OpenGL in English, not as a set of commands. This is a more or less direct mapping of text, which would usually be a comment, into a function that calls OpenGL.

As a consequence, function calls tend to become lengthy and verbose. However, code is intrinsically documented, and finally be of same length as before (if commented).
