      This extensions contains functions for loading and saving
      <keyword>OpenGL</keyword> textures
      using Imaging and for converting images to textures and vice versa.
      You need <keyword>OpenGL</keyword> headers for
      <keyword>Object Pascal</keyword> to be able to compile this extension.
      Headers from 
      <keyword>Delphi GL</keyword> (<icode>dglOpenGL.pas</icode>),
      <keyword>JEDI-SDL</keyword> (<icode>gl.pas</icode>), and 
      <keyword>GLScene</keyword> (<icode>OpenGL1x.pas</icode>)
      were tested and they work.
      Extension is implemented in <ref>ImagingOpenGL.pas</ref> unit located
      in <keyword>(ImagingRoot)\Source\Extensions</keyword> directory.
      To use it simply add this unit to <icode>uses</icode> list of your program.
      Currently only 2D textures are supported, DXTC/S3TC and 3Dc compressed, and
      floating point textures are created if supported by hardware.

      Here is the table with <keyword>OpenGL</keyword> functions
      currently available.
      There is also Imaging <keyword>OpenGL</keyword> demo you can look at
      for inspiration <link url="../Demos/Pascal.xml#opengldemo">Object Pascal OpenGL Demo</link>.

    <note>
      All <keyword>OpenGL</keyword> textures created by Imaging functions
      have default parameters set - that means that no
      <icode>glTexParameter</icode> calls are made so default filtering,
      wrapping, and other parameters are used. Created textures
      are left bound by <icode>glBindTexture</icode> when function is exited.
