Detailed Description

Shader class.

This class is used to create and manage shaders. The shaders are created using the New method, which takes the name of the shader, the type of the shader, and the path to the file that contains the shader code. Multile shaders can be compiled and linked together by providing any number of types and paths. The shader can be used with the Use method, and the uniforms can be set using the SetBool, SetInt, SetFloat, SetMat4, SetVec3 methods.

create() [1/2]

template<typename... Args>

static void brenta::shader::create ( const GLchar ** feedback_varyings, int num_varyings, std::string shader_name, GLenum type, std::string path, Args... args )

inlinestatic

Create a new shader with feedback varyings.

Parameters

feedback_varyings	Array of feedback varyings
num_varyings	Number of feedback varyings
shader_name	Name of the shader
type	Type of the shader
path	Path to the file that contains the shader code

Same as the New method, but adds feedback varyings to the shader, so that the output of the shader can be saved in a buffer object.

Example feedback_varyings: const GLchar* feedback_varyings[] = {"outValue"};

create() [2/2]

template<typename... Args>

static void brenta::shader::create ( std::string shader_name, GLenum type, std::string path, Args... args )

inlinestatic

Create a new shader.

This method is used to create a new shader with the given name, type, and path. The path is the path to the file that contains the shader code. The type is the type of the shader (GL_VERTEX_SHADER, GL_FRAGMENT_SHADER, GL_GEOMETRY_SHADER).

Parameters

shader_name	Name of the shader
type	Type of the shader
path	Path to the file that contains the shader code

You can provide any number of types and paths, those will be all compiled and linked in the same program.

shaders

std::unordered_map< types::shader_name_t, unsigned int > shader::shaders

static

Map of shaders.

This map is used to store the shaders that are created during the execution of the program. The key is the name of the shader and the value is the ID of the shader.
