public class SoGLExtension
extends Inventor
```
Contains methods to query and disable OpenGL extensions. SoGLExtension is based on GLEW (the OpenGL Extension Wrangler library). The OpenGL Extension Wrangler Library (GLEW) is a cross-platform, open-source extension loading library. GLEW provides efficient run-time mechanisms for determining which OpenGL extensions are supported on the current platform. Once an extension is known to be present, the function linked to that extension can be called directly.
EXAMPLE
Here is an example of checking if a GL extension is present.
Note that the isAvailable() method will normally succeed even if no context is currently bound. In that case it creates its own temporary context automatically, but a warning message is posted when using a debug build of Open Inventor.
```
 SoGLContext glContext = new SoGLContext( true );
 glContext.bind();
     boolean ok = SoGLExtension.isAvailable( "GL_ARB_vertex_program" );
 glContext.unbind();
```
NOTES
The SoGLExtension header file must be included before any OpenGL header files.
The following list categorizes the extensions that can be queried with isAvailable():
- GL_VERSION_1_1
- GL_VERSION_1_2
- GL_VERSION_1_3
- GL_VERSION_1_4
- GL_VERSION_1_5
