feature request: PrimitiveType::Points, GL_POINTS

Open strasdat opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

Supporting points rendering would be great.

I gave it a first try, but was not able to actually display points yet. Are you open to a corresponding PR?

Sure I am! But as far as I remember POINTS are not supported by all the target GL versions and it might require some complicated software emulation, so it might be a tricky one

Okay, thanks, that is news to me. With all OpenGL versions I worked with so far, points were supported, but this clearly explains why my first attempts failed.

Can you share any pointers with respect to relevant GL versions and lack of GL_POINTS support?

Looking at page 16 of the first spec I think points have always been supported no?
