The Radeon® supports a variety of OpenGL® extensions
on Windows® and Mac®OS. For an explanation of using
OpenGL® extensions and complete list of all extensions,
please refer to the
OpenGL® Extension Registry. We have also created
a pdf containing all of the ATI supported extensions
and their specs for your convenience, download
here.
The tokens and prototypes required to utilize these
extensions are found in the glATI.h
and wglATI.h
headers, which you can feel free to use in your own
applications.
A header and library to easily set up these extensions
within your OpenGL application is avaliable here: extSetupLib.zip.
Source for this library along with a Visual C++ 6.0
project is also avaliable: extSetupSrc.zip
OpenGL SDK
This SDK release is intended to support the GL driver for Radeon 9500
and above. Samples included are Simple_Shader, Mandelbrot, and HW_Image_Processing.
Simple_Shader provides a simple environment for learning how to write a fragment
and vertex shaders.
Mandelbrot shows how to use floating point pbuffers
to perform multipass shading for extremely long/complex
shaders.
HW_Image_Processing is a more complex sample that shows how fragment programs
can be used in combination with render to texture and
high precision image formats
to accomplish image processing on a graphics processor.
The Radeon 9700 OpenGL Programming and Optimization
Guide is also included with the SDK.

The Meaning of ATIX
Extensions which begin with the prefix ATIX are experimental
extensions. This means that they are not necessarily
in their final state and are subject to change. You
are free to experiment with them, but you should not
ship content to your users which relies upon an ATIX
extension. If you are shipping content and are in need
of a final specification, contact us at devrel@ati.com.
