'''OpenGL extension NV.vertex_program
This module customises the behaviour of the
OpenGL.raw.GL.NV.vertex_program to provide a more
Python-friendly API
Overview (from the spec)
Unextended OpenGL mandates a certain set of configurable per-vertex
computations defining vertex transformation, texture coordinate
generation and transformation, and lighting. Several extensions
have added further per-vertex computations to OpenGL. For example,
extensions have defined new texture coordinate generation modes
(ARB_texture_cube_map, NV_texgen_reflection, NV_texgen_emboss), new
vertex transformation modes (EXT_vertex_weighting), new lighting modes
(OpenGL 1.2's separate specular and rescale normal functionality),
several modes for fog distance generation (NV_fog_distance), and
eye-distance point size attenuation (EXT_point_parameters).
Each such extension adds a small set of relatively inflexible
per-vertex computations.
This inflexibility is in contrast to the typical flexibility provided
by the underlying programmable floating point engines (whether
micro-coded vertex engines, DSPs, or CPUs) that are traditionally used
to implement OpenGL's per-vertex computations. The purpose of this
extension is to expose to the OpenGL application writer a significant
degree of per-vertex programmability for computing vertex parameters.
For the purposes of discussing this extension, a vertex program is
a sequence of floating-point 4-component vector operations that
determines how a set of program parameters (defined outside of
OpenGL's begin/end pair) and an input set of per-vertex parameters
are transformed to a set of per-vertex output parameters.
The per-vertex computations for standard OpenGL given a particular
set of lighting and texture coordinate generation modes (along with
any state for extensions defining per-vertex computations) is, in
essence, a vertex program. However, the sequence of operations is
defined implicitly by the current OpenGL state settings rather than
defined explicitly as a sequence of instructions.
This extension provides an explicit mechanism for defining vertex
program instruction sequences for application-defined vertex programs.
In order to define such vertex programs, this extension defines
a vertex programming model including a floating-point 4-component
vector instruction set and a relatively large set of floating-point
4-component registers.
The extension's vertex programming model is designed for efficient
hardware implementation and to support a wide variety of vertex
programs. By design, the entire set of existing vertex programs
defined by existing OpenGL per-vertex computation extensions can be
implemented using the extension's vertex programming model.
