| Warning: This article describes legacy OpenGL APIs that have been removed from core OpenGL 3.1 and above (they are only deprecated in OpenGL 3.0). It is recommended that you not use this functionality in your programs. |
| This article needs proper formatting or improved descriptions. Further details can be found on the talk page. |
What follows are links to small bits of code and examples submitted by outside parties. Many of these use functionality no longer available in core OpenGL.
