```
public interface GLBase
```
The base interface from which all GL profiles derive, providing checked conversion down to concrete profiles, access to the OpenGL context associated with the GL and extension/function availability queries as described below.

While the APIs for vendor extensions are unconditionally exposed, the underlying functions may not be present. The method isFunctionAvailable(java.lang.String) should be used to query the availability of any non-core function before it is used for the first time; for example, gl.isFunctionAvailable("glProgramStringARB"). On certain platforms (Windows in particular), the most "core" functionality is only OpenGL 1.1, so in theory any routines first exposed in OpenGL 1.2, 1.3, and 1.4, 1.5, or 2.0 as well as vendor extensions should all be queried. Calling an unavailable function will cause a GLException to be raised.
isExtensionAvailable(java.lang.String) may also be used to determine whether a specific extension is available before calling the routines or using the functionality it exposes: for example, gl.isExtensionAvailable("GL_ARB_vertex_program");. However, in this case it is up to the end user to know which routines or functionality are associated with which OpenGL extensions. It may also be used to test for the availability of a particular version of OpenGL: for example, gl.isExtensionAvailable("GL_VERSION_1_5");.
Exceptions to the window system extension naming rules:
- The memory allocators for the NVidia vertex_array_range (VAR) extension, in particular wglAllocateMemoryNV / glXAllocateMemoryNV and associated routines. #glAllocateMemoryNV has been provided for window system-independent access to VAR. isFunctionAvailable(java.lang.String) will translate an argument of "glAllocateMemoryNV" or "glFreeMemoryNV" into the appropriate window system-specific name.
- WGL_ARB_pbuffer, WGL_ARB_pixel_format, and other platform-specific pbuffer functionality; the availability of pbuffers can be queried on Windows, X11 and Mac OS X platforms by querying isExtensionAvailable(java.lang.String) with an argument of "GL_ARB_pbuffer" or "GL_ARB_pixel_format".

  - getContext
```
GLContext getContext()

    Returns the GLContext associated which this GL object.
  - isFunctionAvailable
```
boolean isFunctionAvailable(String glFunctionName)
```
    Returns true if the specified OpenGL core- or extension-function can be used successfully through this GL instance given the current host (OpenGL client) and display (OpenGL server) configuration.
    By "successfully" we mean that the function is both callable on the machine running the program and available on the current display.
    In order to call a function successfully, the function must be both callable on the machine running the program and available on the display device that is rendering the output (note: on non-networked, single-display machines these two conditions are identical; on networked and/or multi-display machines this becomes more complicated). These conditions are met if the function is either part of the core OpenGL version supported by both the host and display, or it is an OpenGL extension function that both the host and display support.
    A GL function is callable if it is successfully linked at runtime, hence the GLContext must be made current at least once.
    
    Parameters:
    glFunctionName - the name of the OpenGL function (e.g., use "glBindRenderbufferEXT" or "glBindRenderbuffer" to check if GL.glBindRenderbuffer(int,int) is available).
  - isExtensionAvailable
```
boolean isExtensionAvailable(String glExtensionName)
```
    Returns true if the specified OpenGL extension can be used successfully through this GL instance given the current host (OpenGL client) and display (OpenGL server) configuration.
    
    Parameters:
    glExtensionName - the name of the OpenGL extension (e.g., "GL_ARB_vertex_program").
  - hasBasicFBOSupport
```
boolean hasBasicFBOSupport()
```
    Returns true if basic FBO support is available, otherwise false.
    Basic FBO is supported if the context is either GL-ES >= 2.0, GL >= 3.0 [core, compat] or implements the extensions GL_ARB_ES2_compatibility, GL_ARB_framebuffer_object, GL_EXT_framebuffer_object or GL_OES_framebuffer_object.
    
    Basic FBO support may only include one color attachment and no multisampling, as well as limited internal formats for renderbuffer.
    
    See Also:
    GLContext.hasBasicFBOSupport()
  - hasFullFBOSupport
```
boolean hasFullFBOSupport()
```
    Returns true if full FBO support is available, otherwise false.
    Full FBO is supported if the context is either GL >= core 3.0 [ES, core, compat] or implements the extensions ARB_framebuffer_object, or all of EXT_framebuffer_object, EXT_framebuffer_multisample, EXT_framebuffer_blit, GL_EXT_packed_depth_stencil.
    
    Full FBO support includes multiple color attachments and multisampling.
    
    See Also:
    GLContext.hasFullFBOSupport()
  - getMaxRenderbufferSamples
```
int getMaxRenderbufferSamples()
```
    Returns the maximum number of FBO RENDERBUFFER samples if full FBO is supported, otherwise false.
    
    See Also:

  - isNPOTTextureAvailable
```
boolean isNPOTTextureAvailable()
```
    Returns true if the GL context supports non power of two (NPOT) textures, otherwise false.
    NPOT textures are supported in OpenGL >= 3, GLES2 or if the 'GL_ARB_texture_non_power_of_two' extension is available.
  - isTextureFormatBGRA8888Available
```
boolean isTextureFormatBGRA8888Available()
```
  - setSwapInterval
```
void setSwapInterval(int interval)
```
    Provides a platform-independent way to specify the minimum swap interval for buffer swaps. An argument of 0 disables sync-to-vertical-refresh completely, while an argument of 1 causes the application to wait until the next vertical refresh until swapping buffers. The default, which is platform-specific, is usually either 0 or 1. This function is not guaranteed to have an effect, and in particular only affects heavyweight onscreen components.
    
    Throws:
    
    GLException - if this context is not the current
    See Also:
    getSwapInterval()
  - getSwapInterval
```
int getSwapInterval()
```
    Provides a platform-independent way to get the swap interval set by setSwapInterval(int).
    If the interval is not set by setSwapInterval(int) yet, -1 is returned, indicating that the platforms default is being used.
    
    See Also:
    setSwapInterval(int)
  - getPlatformGLExtensions
```
Object getPlatformGLExtensions()
```
    Returns an object through which platform-specific OpenGL extensions (EGL, GLX, WGL, etc.) may be accessed. The data type of the returned object and its associated capabilities are undefined. Most applications will never need to call this method. It is highly recommended that any applications which do call this method perform all accesses on the returned object reflectively to guard themselves against changes to the implementation.
  - getExtension
```
Object getExtension(String extensionName)
```
    Returns an object providing access to the specified OpenGL extension. This is intended to provide a mechanism for vendors who wish to provide access to new OpenGL extensions without changing the public API of the core package. For example, a user may request access to extension "GL_VENDOR_foo" and receive back an object which implements a vendor-specified interface which can call the OpenGL extension functions corresponding to that extension. It is up to the vendor to specify both the extension name and Java API for accessing it, including which class or interface contains the functions.
    Note: it is the intent to add new extensions as quickly as possible to the core GL API. Therefore it is unlikely that most vendors will use this extension mechanism, but it is being provided for completeness.

```
    Aliased entrypoint of void glClearDepth(GLclampd depth); and void glClearDepthf(GLclampf depth); .

    Parameters:
    target - a GL buffer (VBO) target as used in GL.glBindBuffer(int, int), ie GL.GL_ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER, GL.GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, ..
    
    Returns:

    Returns the GLBufferStorage instance as mapped via OpenGL's native glMapBuffer(..) implementation.
    Throws a GLException if GL-function constraints are not met.
    
    GL.glMapBuffer(int, int) wrapper calls this method and returns GLBufferStorage.getMappedBuffer().
    
    A zero GLBufferStorage.getSize() will avoid a native call and returns the unmapped GLBufferStorage.
    
    A null native mapping result indicating an error will not cause a GLException but returns the unmapped GLBufferStorage. This allows the user to handle this case.
    
    Parameters:
    target - denotes the buffer via it's bound target
    access - the mapping access mode
    
    Throws:
    
    GLException - if buffer is not bound to target
    
    GLException - if buffer is not tracked
    
    GLException - if buffer is already mapped
    
    GLException - if buffer has invalid store size, i.e. less-than zero
  - mapBufferRange
```
GLBufferStorage mapBufferRange(int target,
                             long offset,
                             long length,
                             int access)
                               throws GLException
```
    Returns the GLBufferStorage instance as mapped via OpenGL's native glMapBufferRange(..) implementation.
    Throws a GLException if GL-function constraints are not met.
    
    GL.glMapBufferRange(int, long, long, int) wrapper calls this method and returns GLBufferStorage.getMappedBuffer().
    
    A zero GLBufferStorage.getSize() will avoid a native call and returns the unmapped GLBufferStorage.
    
    A null native mapping result indicating an error will not cause a GLException but returns the unmapped GLBufferStorage. This allows the user to handle this case.
    
    Parameters:
    target - denotes the buffer via it's bound target
    offset - offset of the mapped buffer's storage
    length - length of the mapped buffer's storage
    access - the mapping access mode
    
    Throws:
    
    GLException - if buffer is not bound to target
    
    GLException - if buffer is not tracked
    
    GLException - if buffer is already mapped
    
    GLException - if buffer has invalid store size, i.e. less-than zero
    
    GLException - if buffer mapping range does not fit, incl. offset
  - isVBOArrayBound
```
boolean isVBOArrayBound()
```
    Returns:
    true if a VBO is bound to GL.GL_ARRAY_BUFFER via GL.glBindBuffer(int, int), otherwise false
  - isVBOElementArrayBound
```
boolean isVBOElementArrayBound()
```
    Returns:
    true if a VBO is bound to GL.GL_ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER via GL.glBindBuffer(int, int), otherwise false
  - getBoundFramebuffer
```
int getBoundFramebuffer(int target)
```
    Return the framebuffer name bound to this context, see GL.glBindFramebuffer(int, int).
  - getDefaultDrawFramebuffer
```
int getDefaultDrawFramebuffer()
```
    Return the default draw framebuffer name.
    May differ from it's default zero in case an framebuffer object (FBObject) based drawable is being used.
  - getDefaultReadFramebuffer
```
int getDefaultReadFramebuffer()
```
    Return the default read framebuffer name.
    May differ from it's default zero in case an framebuffer object (FBObject) based drawable is being used.
  - getDefaultReadBuffer
```
int getDefaultReadBuffer()
```
    Returns the default color buffer within the current bound getDefaultReadFramebuffer(), i.e. GL_READ_FRAMEBUFFER, which will be used as the source for pixel reading commands, like glReadPixels etc.
    For offscreen framebuffer objects this is GL.GL_COLOR_ATTACHMENT0, otherwise this is GL.GL_FRONT for single buffer configurations and GL.GL_BACK for double buffer configurations.
    
    Note-1: Neither ES1 nor ES2 supports selecting the read buffer via glReadBuffer and GL.GL_BACK is the default.
    
    Note-2: ES3 only supports GL.GL_BACK, GL.GL_NONE or GL.GL_COLOR_ATTACHMENT0+i
    
    Note-3: See swapBuffersBeforeRead for read-pixels and swap-buffers implications.
