The OpenGL 1.2 Draft Specification

A PostScript version of the most recent (February, 1998) draft of the specification, which has been edited in response to comments on the January draft meeting, is available in ftp://sgigate.sgi.com/pub/opengl/doc/feb98/glspec.ps. A description of the changes between the November and February drafts is in CHANGES. A description of remaining items to do is in TODO.

Compressed versions fitting two logical pages per physical page (glspec2.ps) and four logical/physical (glspec4.ps) are also available, for those with good eyesight who want to save paper.

Finally, the spec is available in Adobe PDF format (glspec.pdf), if you don't have a PostScript printer or viewer. Thanks to Tom Hubina of Gibbs and Associates for doing the conversion!

The GLX 1.3 Draft Specification

The GLX 1.3 draft is available in ftp://sgigate.sgi.com/pub/opengl/doc/feb98/glxspec.ps. GLX is the X Windows System protocol extension used to implement OpenGL over a network. A description of the changes from GLX 1.2 to GLX 1.3 is in glxchanges.log.
