Editing OpenGL ES (section)

==Versions==
Several versions of the OpenGL ES specification now exist. OpenGL ES 1.0 is drawn up against the OpenGL 1.3 specification, OpenGL ES 1.1 is defined relative to the OpenGL 1.5 specification and OpenGL ES 2.0 is defined relative to the OpenGL 2.0 specification. This means that, for example, an application written for OpenGL ES 1.0 should be easily portable to the desktop OpenGL 1.3; as the OpenGL ES is a stripped-down version of the API, the reverse may or may not be true, depending on the particular features used.

OpenGL ES comes with its own version of [[shading language]] (OpenGL ES SL), which is different from [[GLSL|OpenGL SL]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://stackoverflow.com/a/8872201/239247|title=What versions of GLSL can I use in OpenGL ES 2.0?|publisher=Stack Overflow}}</ref>{{rs?|date=January 2025}}

Version 1.0 and 1.1 both have ''common'' (CM) and ''common lite'' (CL) profiles, the difference being that the ''common lite'' profile only supports [[fixed-point arithmetic|fixed-point]] instead of [[floating point]] data type support, whereas ''common'' supports both.

===OpenGL ES 1.0===
OpenGL ES 1.0 was released publicly July 28, 2003. OpenGL ES 1.0 is based on the original OpenGL 1.3 API, with much functionality removed and a little bit added. One significant difference between OpenGL and OpenGL ES is that OpenGL ES removed the need to bracket OpenGL library calls with <code>glBegin</code> and <code>glEnd</code>.  Other significant differences are that the calling semantics for primitive rendering functions were changed in favor of vertex arrays, and  [[fixed-point arithmetic|fixed-point]] data types were introduced for vertex coordinates.  Attributes were also added to better support the computational abilities of embedded processors, which often lack a [[floating point unit]] (FPU). Many other functions and rendering primitives were removed in version 1.0 to produce a lightweight interface, including:

* quad and polygon rendering primitives;
* texgen, line, and polygon stipple;
* polygon mode and antialiased polygon rendering are not supported, although rendering using multisample is still possible (rather than alpha border fragments);
* <code>ARB_Image</code> pixel class operations, bitmaps, and 3D textures are not supported;
* several of the more technical drawing modes are eliminated, including frontbuffer and accumulation buffer;
* bitmap operations for copying pixels individually, evaluators, and user selection operations are not allowed;
* display lists and feedback are removed, as are push and pop operations for state attributes;
* and some material parameters were removed, including ''back-face'' parameters and user-defined clip planes.

The actual version is 1.0.0.2.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.khronos.org/registry/OpenGL/specs/es/1.0/opengles_spec_1_0.pdf|title=OpenGL ES Common/Common-Lite Profile Specification - Version 1.0.02 (Annotated)|last=Blythe|first=David|website=registry.khronos.org|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240922061823/https://registry.khronos.org/OpenGL/specs/es/1.0/opengles_spec_1_0.pdf|archive-date=22 September 2024|url-status=live}}</ref>

===OpenGL ES 1.1===
OpenGL ES 1.1 added features such as mandatory support for multitexture, better multitexture support (including combiners and [[dot product]] texture operations), automatic [[mipmap]] generation, [[vertex buffer object]]s, state queries, user clip planes, and greater control over point rendering.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://developer.amd.com/wordpress/media/2012/10/GDC06-GLES_Tutorial_Day-Munshi-OpenGLES_Overview.pdf|title=OpenGL ES 1.1+ and ES 2.0|website=developer.amd.com|publisher=GameDevelopers Conference|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210224091401/http://developer.amd.com/wordpress/media/2012/10/GDC06-GLES_Tutorial_Day-Munshi-OpenGLES_Overview.pdf|archive-date=24 February 2021|url-status=dead}}</ref>

New functionality in the OpenGL ES 3.0 specification includes:
* multiple enhancements to the [[rendering pipeline]] to enable acceleration of advanced visual effects including: [[occlusion queries]], [[transform feedback]], [[Geometry instancing|instanced rendering]] and support for four or more [[Render Target|rendering targets]];
* high quality [[Ericsson Texture Compression#ETC2 and EAC|ETC2 / EAC]] [[texture compression]] as a standard feature, eliminating the need for a different set of [[Texture mapping|textures]] for each platform;
* a new version of the GLSL ES [[shading language]]<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://registry.khronos.org/OpenGL/specs/es/3.0/GLSL_ES_Specification_3.00.pdf|title=GLSL ES 3.0 Specification|publisher=Khronos|access-date=2023-06-30}}</ref>  with full support for integer and [[32-bit]] [[floating point]] operations;

* an extensive set of required, explicitly sized [[Texture mapping|texture]] and render-buffer formats, reducing implementation variability and making it much easier to write portable applications.

==={{Anchor|3.2}}OpenGL ES 3.2===
The OpenGL ES 3.2 specification<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://registry.khronos.org/OpenGL/index_es.php|title=Khronos OpenGL ES Registry - The Khronos Group Inc|website=registry.khronos.org}}</ref> was publicly released in August 2015.
New capabilities in OpenGL ES 3.2 include:
* Geometry and [[Tessellation (computer graphics)|tessellation]] shaders to efficiently process complex scenes on the GPU.
* Floating point render targets for increased flexibility in higher precision compute operations.
* [[Adaptive Scalable Texture Compression|ASTC compression]] to reduce the [[memory footprint]] and bandwidth used to process textures.
* Enhanced blending for sophisticated compositing and handling of multiple color attachments.
* Advanced texture targets such as texture buffers, multisample 2D array and cube map arrays.
* Debug and robustness features for easier code development and secure execution.

Actual State is 3.2.6 July 2019.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://registry.khronos.org/OpenGL/specs/es/3.2/es_spec_3.2.pdf|title=OpenGL ES - Version 3.2|last=Leech|first=Jon|date=5 May 2022|website=registry.khronos.org|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240922061823/https://registry.khronos.org/OpenGL/specs/es/3.2/es_spec_3.2.pdf|archive-date=22 September 2024|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://registry.khronos.org/OpenGL/specs/es/3.2/GLSL_ES_Specification_3.20.pdf|title=OpenGL ES Shading Language - Version 3.20.8|date=14 August 2023|website=registry.khronos.org|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250124122240/https://registry.khronos.org/OpenGL/specs/es/3.2/GLSL_ES_Specification_3.20.pdf|archive-date=24 January 2025|url-status=live}}</ref>

Some more extensions are developed or in Development in Mesa for next OpenGL ES Version (see Mesamatrix).

Next generation API is Vulkan.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.anandtech.com/show/9038/next-generation-opengl-becomes-vulkan-additional-details-released|title = Next Generation OpenGL Becomes Vulkan: Additional Details Released}}</ref>
