NAME

vtkProbeOpenGLVersion - Test and report system OpenGL version

SYNOPSIS

vtkProbeOpenGLVersion

DESCRIPTION

vtkProbeOpenGLVersion is a diagnostic utility included with the Visualization Toolkit (VTK) 9.5. It creates a simple VTK rendering window to test and report the system's OpenGL capabilities to standard output.

This tool is primarily used for debugging graphics-related issues, such as verifying hardware acceleration or diagnosing problems in virtualized or remote desktop environments. VTK 9.5 includes new OpenGL error reporting capabilities, which may provide more detailed output if the VTK build was configured with OpenGL debugging enabled.

The program does not accept any command-line options. It runs automatically, performs its tests, and exits after a brief pause.
