glium 0.17.1

Elegant and safe OpenGL wrapper. Glium is an intermediate layer between OpenGL and your application. You still need to manually handle the graphics pipeline, but without having to use OpenGL's old and error-prone API. Its objectives: - Be safe to use. Many aspects of OpenGL that can trigger a crash if misused are automatically handled by glium. - Provide an API that enforces good pratices such as RAII or stateless function calls. - Be compatible with all OpenGL versions that support shaders, providing unified API when things diverge. - Avoid all OpenGL errors beforehand. - Produce optimized OpenGL function calls, and allow the user to easily use modern OpenGL techniques.

/*!

The `backend` module allows one to link between glium and the OpenGL context..

There are three concepts in play:

 - The `Backend` trait describes the glue between glium and the OpenGL context provider like
   glutin, SDL, GLFW, etc.
 - The `Context` struct is the main brick of glium. It manages everything that glium needs to
   execute OpenGL commands. Creating a `Context` requires a `Backend`.
 - The `Facade` trait. Calling functions like `VertexBuffer::new` requires passing an object
   that implements this trait. It is implemented on `Rc<Context>`.
