SoGLExtension is based on GLEW (the OpenGL Extension Wrangler library). The OpenGL Extension Wrangler Library (GLEW) is a cross-platform, open-source extension loading library. GLEW provides efficient run-time mechanisms for determining which OpenGL extensions are supported on the current platform. Once an extension is known to be present, the function linked to that extension can be called directly.
SoRef<SoGLContext> context = new SoGLContext( true ); context->bind(); SbBool ok = SoGLExtension::isAvailable( "GL_ARB_vertex_program" ); context->unbind();
The following list categorizes the extensions that can be queried with isAvailable():

static void SoGLExtension::disableExtension | ( | const SbString & | extension | ) | [static] |
Disable a specific extension in software.
The given extension will be disabled for any subsequent calls to isAvailable and for any existing contexts.
A list of extensions can be disabled using the environment variable OIV_DISABLED_GL_EXTENSION_LIST ( see SoPreferences ).
Returns true if the extension is available.
static SbBool SoGLExtension::isAvailable | ( | const char * | extension | ) | [static] |
Returns true if the extension is available.
