[vtkusers] Get Graphics card info

[Simon ESNEAULT]

Hi

Here, we use :

std::string l_gpu_info = std::string( (char*)glGetString(GL_VENDOR) ) +
std::string( (char*)glGetString(GL_RENDERER) ) + std::string(
(char*)glGetString(GL_VERSION) );
for( unsigned int i=0; i<l_gpu_info.length(); ++i ){
    l_gpu_info[i] = tolower(l_gpu_info[i]);
}

if( l_gpu_info.find( "nvidia" ) != std::string::npos ){
  std::cout<< "NVIDIA Card detected !" << std::endl;
}

Be sure to have a valid OpenGL context initialized before to call that.

Simon
