Parameters
NameTypeDescription
extensionStringthe name of the extension to check

Return
TypeDescription

function : GLGetCurrentWindow() ~ Window
Return
TypeDescription
Windowactive window

GLGetSwapInterval

Get the swap interval for the current OpenGL context

function : GLGetSwapInterval() ~ Int
