MoGL

Modern OpenGL wrapper, thin C++14 header-only layer on top of the OpenGL 4.5+ core spec.

Doxygen available here.

Features

MoGL takes full advantage of the 4.5 core spec, using DSA an RAII idioms in all object wrappers, limiting effectively side effects from OpenGL states. Say goodbye to glBind*() !

It keeps most of the syntax intact, including enums and types, but improving and shortening it when it makes the most sense. Porting existing GL code to MoGL is easy !

Performance is predictable, as it is a thin layer that doesn't do a lot of processing behind your back. In most cases, one MoGL call = one gl* call.

Practical example

Texture creation

GLuint myTex;

glGenTextures(1, &myTex);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, myTex);
glTexStorage2D(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 1, GL_RGB16F, 1024, 1024);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER, GL_LINEAR);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER, GL_LINEAR);

glDeleteTextures(1, &myTex);

To MoGL

mogl::Texture   myTex(GL_TEXTURE_2D);

myTex.setStorage2D(1, GL_RGB16F, 1024, 1024);
myTex.set(GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER, GL_LINEAR);
myTex.set(GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER, GL_LINEAR);

Actual GL calls

GLuint myTex;

glCreateTextures(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 1, &myTex);
glTextureStorage2D(myTex, 1, GL_RGB16F, 1024, 1024);
glTextureParameteri(myTex, GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER, GL_LINEAR);
glTextureParameteri(myTex, GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER, GL_LINEAR);

glDeleteTextures(1, &myTex);
