Is that strictly speaking true? I didn't think opengl was part of the windows api (WinAPI) itself.

Anyway, afaik opengl is not provided by c/c++ compilers. Opengl is just pre-installed on most OSs, along with its c/c++ headers, meaning it is ready to include/import and link to. It is a separate library and headers, installed separately from the compiler.

However, one could make an argument that opengl is sufficiently ubiquitous that d bindings should be shipped with the compiler, similar to the core OS bindings.
I personally think not, but if you disagree then I suggest making a separate thread in the main D newsgroup/forum proposing it.

It is not. DirectX isn't even part of the WinAPI and that is what Microsoft backs.

But where can this be learned ? Do you know any books on the subject ?

learn what? opengl is C API specification, any resource about opengl will work, the only thing required for apply it to D is to know D basics. but unfortunately for D itself it is really hard to find good tutorials

You're complaining about Windows. I can tell you that it doesn't look good for anyone. To get a window on Mac OS X you need to interact with Objective-C (no I don't want to use Carbon), which is possible but it's a pain in the ass.

Probably would make for a good deimos addition.

Agreed probably would be a good pull request for https://github.com/D-Programming-Deimos/OpenGL

I use this on-line book on D.

http://ddili.org/ders/d.en/index.html

Unfortunately, not 100% translated yet, but it's still an active project being worked on so I expect eventually it will get filly translated. A really nice thing about it, is that it gets updated to reflect the latest changes and additions to D.

The wgl*** functions and "SwapBuffers" ARE part of the windows api even though they are implemented in opengl32.dll (they are declared in wingdi.h IIRC)
