Weighted, Blended Order-Independent Transparency algorithm has been added rasterization pipeline.
In contrast to classical blending transparency it makes transparent objects look independent
from point of view. It also gives better depth occlusion when being used together with a weight factor
based on value of a GL depth buffer. The feature supports desktop OpenGL, OpenGL ES 3.0, ANGLE
and can be used together with MSAA on desktop GL.
To be used it require availability of:
1) Shaders pipeline.
2) Floating point color format for framebuffer (GL_ARB_color_buffer_float).
3) Multiple render targets (GL_ARB_draw_buffers).
Patch does not modify API and does not require application porting.
It adds new rendering options to Graphic3d_RenderingParams structure:
a) Transparency method from enumeration.
b) Scalar factor [0-1] controlling influence of a fragment's depth to its visibility.
Patch also simplifies processing of transparent objects for standard method:
rendering priority of transparent graphical structures is managed automatically,
therefore there is no need to care about it at application's side.
FFP state management (light sources, matrices, clipping planes) has been
moved to OpenGl_ShaderManager for consistency with Programmable Pipeline.
OpenGl_Context::BindProgram() does not re-bind already active Program.
OpenGl_PrimitiveArray::Render() does not reset active Program at the end.
OpenGl_Context::ApplyModelViewMatrix() now checks if matrix differs
from already set one before modifying state in Shader Manager.
This allows avoing redundant state changes, matrix uploads onto GPU
and re-computation of inversed matrices.
NCollection_Mat4 has been extended with equality check operators for proper comparison.
OpenGl_ShaderManager - the tracking Material state has been added.
Removed unreachable states OPENGL_NS_RESMAT, OPENGL_NS_TEXTURE and OPENGL_NS_WHITEBACK.
Fixed resetting FFP material state after displaying GL_COLOR_ARRAY vertices;
the Material state within Shader Manager is now
invalidated within OpenGl_VertexBuffer::unbindFixedColor().
OpenGl_Workspace::ApplyAspectFace() - fixed invalidating Material State
when only Highlighting style is changing.
Quantity_ColorRGBA has been introduced as convenient structure holding Vec4 for OpenGL.
Graphic3d_PolygonOffset has been added as replacement for TEL_POFFSET_PARAM.
Duplicating definition of Hatch Styles TEL_HS_*** has been removed;
Aspect_HatchStyle enum now follows values of TEL_HS_*** for compatibility.
TelCullMode enum has been removed.
Aspect_AspectLine has been merged into Graphic3d_AspectLine3d.
Aspect_AspectMarker has been merged into Graphic3d_AspectMarker3d.
Aspect_AspectFillArea has been merged into Graphic3d_AspectFillArea3d.

OpenGl_AspectLine now stores Graphic3d_AspectLine3d as class field.
OpenGl_AspectMarker now stores Graphic3d_AspectMarker3d as class field.
OpenGl_AspectText now stores Graphic3d_AspectText3d as class field.
OpenGl_AspectFace now stores Graphic3d_AspectFillArea3d as class field.
Graphic3d_AspectFillArea3d - back face culling is now enabled by default.
TKOpenGl now relies on Graphic3d_Group::IsClosed() flag to disable face culling.
StdPrs_ShadedShape now does not modify aspect for different culling modes.
Headers InterfaceGraphic_Graphic3d.hxx, InterfaceGraphic_telem.hxx, InterfaceGraphic_tgl_all.hxx
defining obsolete structures CALL_DEF_COLOR, CALL_DEF_POINT,
CALL_DEF_MATERIAL, CALL_DEF_TRANSFORM_PERSISTENCE, TEL_POINT, TEL_COLOUR
have been removed.
Useless and broken test case bugs/vis/buc60821 has been removed.
OpenGl_Workspace::myAspectFaceApplied and myAspectMarkerApplied have been replaced
from OpenGl_AspectFace*/OpenGl_AspectMarker*
to Handle(Graphic3d_AspectFillArea3d)/Handle(Graphic3d_AspectMarker3d).
This eliminates reading from freed memory
(e.g. when OpenGl_AspectFace is allocated on stack like in OpenGl_Trihedron).
OpenGl_PrimitiveArray::drawEdges() - fix drawing non-indexed array from VBO (access violation due to NULL handle).
AIS_Dimension::DrawArrow() - added missing initialization of 3D arrow aspect.
AIS_Manipulator::Compute() now creates dedicated Face Aspect for each axis.
V3d_CircularGrid, V3d_RectangularGrid now create dedicated line aspects with different color.
AIS_InteractiveObject::SetMaterial() - do not modify global ShadingAspect.
OpenGl_Clipping - do not setup clipping planes using FFP when it is disabled.
OpenGl_ShaderManager - apply 2d texture coordinates transformation in GLSL programs.
OpenGl_Context::SetTextureMatrix() - move texture matrix assignment from OpenGl_Workspace::setTextureParams() to OpenGl_Context.
Add test case demo/samples/dimensionsglsl with FFP turned OFF.
Add test case v3d/glsl/texture_trsf applying texture transformation.
Small correction of test case for issue CR26122
Replace 64-bit handles of bindless textures by uvec2 type in GLSL code for compatibility with AMD drivers.
OpenGl_View::initProgram() - fix NULL-dereference.
Missing headers added; includes of headers "Handle_...hxx" removed.
Misuses of macro Handle() and its use in typedefs corrected.
Alias classes Profile and Option are removed from IFSelect; ones defined in MoniTool are used directly.
Removed header files defining only Handle classes (except Image_PixMap_Handle.hxx)
Classes SelectMgr_BaseFrustum and now inherit Standard_Transient and can be manipulated by Handle (not NCollection_Handle)
Fixed reference-type local variable pointing to temporary object
Use of handle in conditional expressions and comparisons to NULL are replaced by call to method IsNull()
0025301: Visualization, TKOpenGl - transpose matrix manually before glUniformMatrix4fv()
OpenGl_View::ReleaseGlResources() - release GL resources of trihedron, do not destroy it
Enumerations Visual3d_TypeOfModel, V3d_TypeOfShadingModel.
- Remove unused values V3d_MULTICOLOR, V3d_HIDDEN, Visual3d_TOM_INTERP_COLOR.
- Add per-pixel shading mode - V3d_PHONG, Visual3d_TOM_FRAGMENT.
Draw Harness command vrenderparams.
Add option -shadingModel to setup Shading Model.
OpenGl_Caps::ffpEnable - new option to switch FFP/built-in GLSL programs.
OpenGl_ShaderManager - add built-in GLSL programs.
Draw Harness command vcaps.
- Fix command syntax to meet coding rules.
- Add option -ffp to activate/disable built-in GLSL programs.
GLSL API changes.
- Rename vertex attribute occColor -> occVertColor.
- Introduce vec4 occColor uniform variable for light-less shaders.
- Introduce float occPointSize uniform variable for marker programs.
OpenGl_VertexBuffer::bindAttribute() - activate normalization for non-GL_FLOAT types,
since color attribute is defined as 32-bit vector of 4 unsigned byte values.
OpenGl_Context - add methods SetColor4fv() and SetPointSize()
for parameters redirection to active GLSL program
(as alternative to glColor4fv() and glPointSize()).
OpenGl_ShaderProgram - define default precision for float types
in Fragment Shader within OpenGL ES 2.0+ context.
OpenGl_AspectMarker, initialize Aspect_TOM_O_POINT display list
in the same way as sprite texture.
OpenGl_Texture, do not use sized internal formats on OpenGL ES.
Inherit NCollection_Buffer from Standard_Transient, do not use incomplete NCollection_Handle.
OpenGl_Context, add methods ActiveProgram(),BindProgram()
to manage currently active GLSL program.
Add method ::ToUseVbo().
OpenGl_ShaderProgram, setup locations of pre-defined vertex attributes
occVertex, occNormal, occTexCoord, occColor before linkage.
Remove methods OpenGl_ShaderProgram::Bind(), ::BindWithVariables()
and ::Unbind() - OpenGl_Context::BindProgram() should be used instead.
Introduce class OpenGl_VertexBufferCompat, which emulates VBO
behavior on systems without VBO (compatibility with broken OpenGL drivers on Windows).
OpenGl_PrimitiveArray - use OpenGl_VertexBufferCompat when VBO is unavailable,
remove duplicated code. Use OpenGl_VertexBuffer::HasNormalAttribute()
method to activate lighting.
OpenGl_Text - use OpenGl_VertexBufferCompat, eliminate duplicated code.
Changes in OpenGl_VertexBuffer, drop methods BindFixed()/UnbindFixed().
Superseded by new methods BindAllAttributes()/UnbindAllAttributes()
which handle active GLSL program, when it is set.
OpenGl_Element destruction and resource deallocation methods now accept
a pointer to OpenGl_Context instead of a handle to avoid double deletion
of the context.

Wrong license statements corrected in several files.
Copyright and license statements added in XSD and GLSL files.
Copyright year updated in some files.
Obsolete documentation files removed from DrawResources.
