The GEMgl objects really require a working knowledge of OpenGL,
and it would be a bit much to redo much of the standard texts in the
help patches. Just put a link to: http://www.glprogramming.com/blue/
That should cover most of the objects - even the ones that can't possibly work in Pd/GEM.
I am just looking at some of the GEMgl stuff, and noticed there are no helpfiles for any of them. It seems that it would be quite useful to make a help template for these functions, then generate them automatically, since the objects themselves were auto-generated. It would be very nice to have these help patches already generated from the OpenGL reference, and also included a link, perhaps.
I just committed GLdefine-help.pd as a start. Any thoughts on that?
