// .NAME vtkOpenGLExtensionManager - Interface class for querying and using OpenGL extensions.
//
// .SECTION Description
//
// vtkOpenGLExtensionManager acts as an interface to OpenGL extensions.  It
// provides methods to query OpenGL extensions on the current or a given
// render window and to load extension function pointers.  Currently does
// not support GLU extensions since the GLU library is not linked to VTK.
//
// Before using vtkOpenGLExtensionManager, an OpenGL context must be created.
// This is generally done with a vtkRenderWindow.  Note that simply creating
// the vtkRenderWindow is not sufficient.  Usually you have to call Render
// before the actual OpenGL context is created.  You can specify the
// RenderWindow with the SetRenderWindow method.
// \code
// vtkOpenGLExtensionManager *extensions = vtkOpenGLExtensionManager::New();
// extensions->SetRenderWindow(renwin);
// \endcode
// If no vtkRenderWindow is specified, the current OpenGL context (if any)
// is used.
//
// Generally speaking, when using OpenGL extensions, you will need an
// vtkOpenGLExtensionManager and the prototypes defined in vtkgl.h.
// \code
// #include "vtkOpenGLExtensionManager.h"
// #include "vtkgl.h"
// \endcode
// The vtkgl.h include file contains all the constants and function
// pointers required for using OpenGL extensions in a portable and
// namespace safe way.  vtkgl.h is built from parsed glext.h, glxext.h, and
// wglext.h files.  Snapshots of these files are distributed with VTK,
// but you can also set CMake options to use other files.
//
// To use an OpenGL extension, you first need to make an instance of
// vtkOpenGLExtensionManager and give it a vtkRenderWindow.  You can then
// query the vtkOpenGLExtensionManager to see if the extension is supported
// with the ExtensionSupported method.  Valid names for extensions are
// given in the OpenGL extension registry at
// http://www.opengl.org/registry/ .
// You can also grep vtkgl.h (which will be in the binary build directory
// if VTK is not installed) for appropriate names.  There are also
// special extensions GL_VERSION_X_X (where X_X is replaced with a major
// and minor version, respectively) which contain all the constants and
// functions for OpenGL versions for which the gl.h header file is of an
// older version than the driver.
//
// \code
// if (   !extensions->ExtensionSupported("GL_VERSION_1_2")
//     || !extensions->ExtensionSupported("GL_ARB_multitexture") ) {
//   {
//   vtkErrorMacro("Required extensions not supported!");
//   }
// \endcode
//
// Once you have verified that the extensions you want exist, before you
// use them you have to load them with the LoadExtension method.
//
// \code
// extensions->LoadExtension("GL_VERSION_1_2");
// extensions->LoadExtension("GL_ARB_multitexture");
// \endcode
//
// Alternatively, you can use the LoadSupportedExtension method, which checks
// whether the requested extension is supported and, if so, loads it. The
// LoadSupportedExtension method will not raise any errors or warnings if it
// fails, so it is important for callers to pay attention to the return value.
//
// \code
// if (   extensions->LoadSupportedExtension("GL_VERSION_1_2")
//     && extensions->LoadSupportedExtension("GL_ARB_multitexture") ) {
//   {
//   vtkgl::ActiveTexture(vtkgl::TEXTURE0_ARB);
//   }
// else
//   {
//   vtkErrorMacro("Required extensions could not be loaded!");
//   }
// \endcode
//
// Once you have queried and loaded all of the extensions you need, you can
// delete the vtkOpenGLExtensionManager.  To use a constant of an extension,
// simply replace the "GL_" prefix with "vtkgl::".  Likewise, replace the
// "gl" prefix of functions with "vtkgl::".  In rare cases, an extension will
// add a type. In this case, add vtkgl:: to the type (i.e. vtkgl::GLchar).
//
// \code
// extensions->Delete();
// ...
// vtkgl::ActiveTexture(vtkgl::TEXTURE0_ARB);
// \endcode
//
// For wgl extensions, replace the "WGL_" and "wgl" prefixes with
// "vtkwgl::".  For glX extensions, replace the "GLX_" and "glX" prefixes
// with "vtkglX::".

  // does not load successfully.
  virtual void LoadExtension(const char *name);

  // Description:
  // Returns true if the extension is supported and loaded successfully,
  // false otherwise. This method will "fail silently/gracefully" if the
  // extension is not supported or does not load properly. It emits neither
  // warnings nor errors. It is up to the caller to determine if the
  // extension loaded properly by paying attention to the return value.
  virtual int LoadSupportedExtension(const char *name);

  
  // Description:
  // Loads all the functions associated with the given core-promoted extension
  // into the appropriate static members of vtkgl associated with the OpenGL
  // version that promoted the extension as a core feature. This method emits a
  // warning if the requested extension is not supported. It emits an error if
  // the extension does not load successfully.
  //
  // For instance, extension GL_ARB_multitexture was promoted as a core
  // feature into OpenGL 1.3. An implementation that uses this
  // feature has to (IN THIS ORDER), check if OpenGL 1.3 is supported
  // with ExtensionSupported("GL_VERSION_1_3"), if true, load the extension
  // with LoadExtension("GL_VERSION_1_3"). If false, test for the extension
  // with ExtensionSupported("GL_ARB_multitexture"),if true load the extension
  // with this method LoadCorePromotedExtension("GL_ARB_multitexture").
  // If any of those loading stage succeeded, use vtgl::ActiveTexture() in
  // any case, NOT vtgl::ActiveTextureARB().
  // This method avoids the use of if statements everywhere in implementations
  // using core-promoted extensions.
  // Without this method, the implementation code should look like:
  // \code
  // int opengl_1_3=extensions->ExtensionSupported("GL_VERSION_1_3");
  // if(opengl_1_3)
  // {
  //   extensions->LoadExtension("GL_VERSION_1_3");
  // }
  // else
  // {
  //  if(extensions->ExtensionSupported("GL_ARB_multitexture"))
  //  {
  //   extensions->LoadCorePromotedExtension("GL_ARB_multitexture");
  //  }
  //  else
  //  {
  //   vtkErrorMacro("Required multitexture feature is not supported!");
  //  }
  // }
  // ...
  // if(opengl_1_3)
  // {
  //  vtkgl::ActiveTexture(vtkgl::TEXTURE0)
  // }
  // else
  // {
  //  vtkgl::ActiveTextureARB(vtkgl::TEXTURE0_ARB)
  // }
  // \endcode
  // Thanks to this method, the code looks like:
  // \code
  // int opengl_1_3=extensions->ExtensionSupported("GL_VERSION_1_3");
  // if(opengl_1_3)
  // {
  //   extensions->LoadExtension("GL_VERSION_1_3");
  // }

  // {
  //  if(extensions->ExtensionSupported("GL_ARB_multitexture"))
