glGetVendor Method

Get the company responsible for this GL implementation.

Namespace:  Ooogles
Assembly:  Ooogles (in Ooogles.dll) Version: 1.0.0.0 (1.0.0.0)
Syntax
public static string GetVendor()

Return Value

Type: String
The vendor
Remarks
This name does not change from release to release.

Because the GL does not include queries for the performance characteristics of an implementation, some applications are written to recognize known platforms and modify their GL usage based on known performance characteristics of these platforms. GetVendor and GetRenderer together uniquely specify a platform. They do not change from release to release and should be used by platform-recognition algorithms.

OpenGL API: glGetString(GL_VENDOR)
