glinformation

A tiny utility that prints a lot of information about OpenGL, which describes the 3D rendering capabilities of your system and graphic card.

This utility uses Castle Game Engine.

Note that if you already use Castle Game Engine or view3dscene, you can:

• Get the same information by running view3dscene and using menu item Help -> OpenGL Information.

• Query the same information in your applications using GLInformationString function.

Optional command-line options

You can call glinformation with some of the options listed below. Requested OpenGL context will have given capabilities (in case of bit sizes, you specify the minimum requested bit size). They are useful to check e.g. is your graphic card able to provide 16-bit stencil buffer.

-s / --stencil-bits STENCIL-BUFFER-BIT-SIZE
-a / --alpha-bits ALPHA-CHANNEL-BIT-SIZE
-d / --depth-bits DEPTH-BUFFER-BIT-SIZE
--multi-sampling SAMPLES # 1 means "no multisampling"
--single
--double

Also all standard options understood by CGE OpenGL programs are allowed, see also standard command-line options understood by all CGE programs.
