openGLExtension([extension=string], [renderer=boolean], [vendor=boolean], [version=boolean])
Note: Strings representing object names and arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the synopsis.
openGLExtension is NOT undoable, NOT queryable, and NOT editable.
Command returns the extension name depending on whether a given
OpenGL extension is supported or not. The input is the
extension string to the -extension flag.
If the -extension flag is not used, or if
the string argument to this flag is an empty string
than all extension names are returned in a single string.
If the extension exists it is not necessary true that
the extension is supported.
This command can only be used when a modeling
view has been created. Otherwise no extensions
will have been initialized and the resulting
string will always be the empty string.
