OpenGL ES 3.2 API Reference Guide Page 1
OpenGL ES Command Syntax [2.2]
Commands are formed from a return type, a name, and optionally letters to denote type:
i for 32-bit int, i64 for int64, f for 32-bit float, or ui for 32-bit uint, shown in the prototype below:
return-type Name{1234}{i i64 f ui}{v} ([args ,] T arg1 , . . . , T argN [, args]);
The arguments enclosed in brackets ([args ,] and [, args]) may or may not be present.
The argument type T and the number N of arguments may be indicated by the command name
suffixes. N is 1, 2, 3, or 4 if present. If “v” is present, an array of N items is passed by a pointer.
For brevity, the OpenGL documentation and this reference may omit the standard prefixes.
The actual names are of the forms: glFunctionName(), GL_CONSTANT, GLtype

OpenGL ES (Open Graphics Library for Embedded Systems) is a software
interface to graphics hardware. The interface consists of a set of procedures
and functions that allow a programmer to specify the objects and operations
involved in producing high-quality graphical images, specifically color images of
three-dimensional objects.

OpenGL ES Pipeline
A typical program that uses OpenGL ES begins with calls to open a window into the
framebuffer into which the program will draw. Calls are made to allocate a GL ES context which
is then associated with the window, then OpenGL ES commands can be issued.
The heavy black arrows in this illustration show the OpenGL ES pipeline and indicate data flow.
Blue blocks indicate various buffers that feed or get fed by the OpenGL ES pipeline.
Green blocks indicate fixed function stages.
Yellow blocks indicate programmable stages.

Preprocessor [3.4]
Preprocessor Directives
The number sign (#) can be immediately preceded or followed in its line by spaces or horizontal tabs.
# #define #undef #if #ifdef #ifndef #else
#elif #endif #error #pragma #extension #line
Examples of Preprocessor Directives
• “#version 320 es” must appear in the first line of a shader program written in GLSL ES version 3.20. If omitted, the shader will be treated as
targeting version 1.00.
• #extension extension_name : behavior, where behavior can be require, enable, warn, or disable; and where extension_name is the
extension supported by the compiler
• #pragma optimize({on, off}) – enable or disable shader optimization (default on)
#pragma debug({on, off}) – enable or disable compiling shaders with debug information (default off)
Predefined Macros
__LINE__ Decimal integer constant that is one more than the number of preceding newlines in the current source string
__FILE__ Decimal integer constant that says which source string number is currently being processed.
__VERSION__ Decimal integer, e.g.: 320
GL_ES Defined and set to integer 1 if running on an OpenGL-ES Shading Language.
The OpenGL® ES Shading Language is three closely-related
languages used to create shaders for the vertex and fragment
processors contained in the OpenGL ES processing pipeline.

in the OpenGL ES Shading Language 3.20 specification at
www.khronos.org/registry/gles/
Qualifiers
Storage Qualifiers [4.3, 4.5]
Variable declarations may be preceded by one storage qualifier
specified in front of the type.
const Compile-time constant, or read-only function parameter
in Linkage into a shader from a previous stage
out Linkage out of a shader to a subsequent stage
uniform
Value does not change across the primitive being
processed, uniforms form the linkage between a
shader, OpenGL ES, and the application
buffer Buffer object
shared Compute shader storage shared across local workgroup
Auxiliary Storage Qualifiers
Some input and output qualified variables can be qualified with
at most one additional auxiliary storage qualifier.
centroid Centroid-based interpolation
sample Per-sample interpolation
patch Per-tessellation-patch attributes
Interpolation Qualifiers
Shader inputs and outputs can be further qualified with one of
these interpolation qualifiers.
smooth Perspective-corrected interpolation
flat No interpolation
Uniform Variables [4.3.5]
Used to declare read-only global variables whose values are the
same across the entire primitive being processed, for example:
uniform vec4 lightPosition;
Buffer Qualifier and Interface Blocks [4.3.7-9]
A group of uniform or buffer variable declarations. Buffer
variables may only be declared inside interface blocks. Example:
buffer BufferName { // externally visible name of buffer
int count; // typed, shared memory…
… // …
vec4 v[]; // last element may be an unsized array
// until after link time (dynamically sized)
} Name; // name of block within the shader

Aggregate Operations and Constructors
Matrix Constructor Examples [5.4.2]
mat2(float) // init diagonal
mat2(vec2, vec2); // column-major order
mat2(float, float, float, float); // column-major order
Structure Constructor Example [5.4.3]
struct light {
float intensity;
vec3 pos;
};
light lightVar = light(3.0, vec3(1.0, 2.0, 3.0));
Matrix Components [5.6]
Access components of a matrix with array subscripting syntax.
For example:
mat4 m; // m represents a matrix
m[1] = vec4(2.0); // sets second column to all 2.0
m[0][0] = 1.0; // sets upper left element to 1.0
m[2][3] = 2.0; // sets 4th element of 3rd column to 2.0
Examples of operations on matrices and vectors:
m = f * m; // scalar * matrix component-wise
v = f * v; // scalar * vector component-wise
v = v * v; // vector * vector component-wise
m = m +/- m; // matrix component-wise addition/subtraction
m = m * m; // linear algebraic multiply
m = v * m; // row vector * matrix linear algebraic multiply
m = m * v; // matrix * column vector linear algebraic multiply
f = dot(v, v); // vector dot product
v = cross(v, v); // vector cross product
m = matrixCompMult(m, m); // component-wise multiply
Structure Operations [5.7]
Select structure fields using the period (.) operator. Valid
operators are:
. field selector
== != equality
= assignment
Array Operations [5.7]
Array elements are accessed using the array subscript operator
“[ ]”. For example:
diffuseColor += lightIntensity[3] * NdotL;
The size of an array can be determined using the .length()
operator. For example:
for (i = 0; i < a.length(); i++)
a[i] = 0.0;
Built-In Inputs, Outputs, and Constants [7]
Shader programs use special variables to communicate with
fixed-function parts of the pipeline. Output special variables may
be read back after writing. Input special variables are read-only.
All special variables have global scope.
Vertex Shader Special Variables [7.1.1]
in highp int gl_VertexID;
in highp int gl_InstanceID;
out gl_PerVertex
{
out highp vec4 gl_Position;
out highp float gl_PointSize;
};
Tessellation Control Shader Special Variables [7.1.2]
in gl_PerVertex
{
highp vec4 gl_Position;
} gl_in [gl_MaxPatchVertices];
in highp int gl_PatchVerticesIn;
in highp int gl_PrimitiveID;
in highp int gl_InvocationID;

Parameter Qualifiers [4.6]
Input values are copied in at function call time, output values are
copied out at function return time.
none (Default) same as in
in For parameter passed into a function
out For values passed out of a function
inout Function parameters passed in and out
Precision and Precision Qualifiers [4.7]
Example of precision qualifiers:
lowp float color;
out mediump vec2 P;
lowp ivec2 foo(lowp mat3);
highp mat4 m;
A precision statement establishes a default precision qualifier for
subsequent int, float, and sampler declarations, e.g.:
precision mediump int;
precision lowp sampler2D;
precision highp atomic_uint;
Invariant Qualifiers Examples [4.8.1]
invariant gl_Position; // make built-in gl_Position be invariant
invariant centroid out vec3 Color;
To force all output variables to be invariant:
#pragma STDGL invariant(all)
Memory Access Qualifiers [4.10]
coherent Reads and writes are coherent with other shader invocations
volatile Underyling value can change at any time
restrict A variable that is the exclusive way to access a value
readonly Read only
writeonly Write only
Matching Qualifiers [9.2]
The following tables summarize the requirements for matching of
qualifiers, which apply whenever there are two or more matching
variables in a shader interface. Errors are generated for conflicts.
• Yes or No pertains to whether the qualifiers must match.
• Consistent means qualifiers may be missing from a subset of
declarations but they cannot conflict.
• The rules apply to all declared variables, irrespective of
whether they are statically used, with the exception of inputs
and outputs when shaders are linked [see 9.1].

following parameter lists:

execution order of multiple shader invocations.

All invocations for a single work group
must enter barrier() before any will
continue beyond it
Shader Memory Control Functions [8.16]
Shader memory control functions control the ordering of memory
transactions issued by or within a single shader invocation.
void memoryBarrier(); Control the ordering of memory transactions
