1.12. 补充信息 - Further Information

The Web site http://opengl.org has the latest information for the OpenGL community, forums

for developers, and links to a variety of demos and technical information. OpenGL developers

should bookmark this site and visit it often.

The standard reference books for the OpenGL API are the OpenGL Programming Guide, Fifth

Edition (2005) and the OpenGL Reference Manual, Fourth Edition (2004), both by the OpenGL

Architecture Review Board. Another useful OpenGL book is OpenGL SuperBible, Third Edition,

by Richard S. Wright, Jr. and Benjamin Lipchak (2004).

A good overview of OpenGL is provided in the technical paper "The Design of the OpenGL

Graphics Interface" by Mark Segal and Kurt Akeley (1994). Of course, the definitive document

on OpenGL is the specification itself, The OpenGL Graphics System: A Specification, (Version

2.0), by Mark Segal and Kurt Akeley, edited by Jon Leech and Pat Brown (2004).

The OpenGL.org Web site, http://opengl.org, is also a good source for finding source code for

OpenGL example programs. Another useful site is Tom Nuyden's site athttp://delphi3d.net. The

hardware vendors that support OpenGL typically provide lots of example programs, especially

for newer OpenGL functionality and extensions. The SGI, NVIDIA, and ATI Web sites are

particularly good in this regard.
