You need a wrapper for the
OpenGLdlls that declare the types and functions needed, and then you call those functions from your Delphi code. The VCL includes a somewhat limited (and generic) wrapper inOpenGL.pas, but there are better ones available.One of the popular wrappers for Delphi is the Open Source GLScene, which includes demos and wrapper units. It also includes visual components that you drop on your form just like any other Delphi components. The link above is for the SourceForge project; the GLScene web site has more information, including documentation and FAQs.
