glslEditor is an editor for OpenGL shaders. It supports the user with syntax highlighting, automatic code completion, and information about the currently used variables and functions. It is also possible to test the shaders in the same editor on various objects, to detect errors in the shader code. The glslEditor supports multiple languages and in the current version it is available in German and English. The project was selected by the Delphi OpenGL Community DGL as the best project for Q4/2010 and the most useful project 2010.
