"OpenGL Programming on Mac OS X: Architecture Performance and Integration"
Publisher: Addison-Wesley Professional, Release Date: December 27, 2007, ISBN: 0321356527
The Mac has fully embraced OpenGL throughout its
visual systems. In fact, Apple's highly efficient, modern OpenGL implementation makes Mac OS X one of today's best platforms for OpenGL development.
OpenGL® Programming on Mac OS® X is the first comprehensive resource for every graphics programmer who wants to create, port, or optimize OpenGL applications
for this high-volume platform.
Leading OpenGL experts Robert Kuehne and J. D. Sullivan thoroughly explain the Mac's diverse OpenGL APIs, both old and
new.
They illuminate crucial OpenGL setup, configuration, and performance issues that are unique to the Mac platform.
Next, they
offer practical, start-to-finish guidance for integrating key Mac-native APIs with OpenGL, and leveraging the full power of the Mac platform in your graphics applications.
Coverage includes
* A thorough review of Mac hardware and software architectures and their performance implications
* In
-depth, expert guidance for accessing OpenGL from each of the Mac's core APIs: CGL, AGL, and Cocoa
* Interoperating with other Mac APIs: incorporating video
with QuickTime, performing image effects with Core Image, and processing CoreVideo data
* Analyzing Mac OpenGL application performance, resolving
bottlenecks, and leveraging optimizations only available on the Mac
* Detecting, integrating, and using OpenGL extensions
* An accompanying Web site
(www.macopenglbook.com) contains the book's example code, plus additional OpenGL-related resources.
OpenGL® Programming on Mac OS® X will
be valuable to Mac programmers seeking to leverage OpenGL's power, OpenGL developers porting their applications to the Mac platform, and cross-platform graphics
developers who want to take advantage of the Mac platform's uniquely intuitive style and efficiency. |
