Remarks
The main goal of GLKit is to simplify many repetitive and error prone tasks that developers face when building OpenGL code. It supports: texture loading, view and view controller integration of OpenGL content, OpenGLES effects and a OpenGLES 1.1 effect compatibility kit for OpenGLES 2.0 apps.
GLKit offers a convenient way of loading images as GL textures -- both synchronously and asynchrously. The T:GLKit.GLTextureLoader can load textures and cube maps from T:MonoTOuch.CoreGraphics.CGImage objects, in-memory binary data, files and arbitrary NSUrl locations. The textures are returned as GLKTextureInfo objects.
It is now very easy to blend OpenGL content with Views and ViewControllers using GLKView and GLKViewController.
The GLKBaseEffect class contains the most commonly used OpenGLES 1.1 effects for use in 2.0 applications. These include lightning, materials, multi-texturing, fog, constant color and transformations.
Other effects part of GLKit include GLKSkyboxEffect and GLKReflectionMapEffect.
