Thread-topic: Choosing a rendere

So basically I’d need to create a pixel format for the accelerated renderer, create the context and check the gl extension string. If it doesn’t contain what I need, I’d then need to create a pixel format for the software renderer and create context for that. Is this right?

There is relevant a section in the "OpenGL Programming Guide for Mac OS X" entitled "Ensuring a Specific Type of Renderer".

Hi,

How can I choose which renderer to use?

I need to use certain extensions of openGL, I’d like to be able to fall back on software renderer when the accelerated renderer doesn’t support them. How can I do that?

Thanx
