According to http://hackage.haskell.org/package/OpenGL, it claims to support version 3.2, so a lack of glUniformMatrix seems like a huge oversight. This makes me think that one of two things is the case: 1. There is a way to do it, but it's non-obvious. Hopefully documentation could fix this. 2. There isn't a way to do it, so either a. the OpenGL package shouldn't claim to be 3.2 compliant, or b. the functionality should be added ;-) Does anyone know which case the current package falls into? And/or what can be done about making sure no one else in the future has the same problem that Yusuke has? I'd be willing to help out, but I don't know where to start.

In general, if you can't find it in HOpenGL, look at OpenGLRaw: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/OpenGLRaw

Thank you for your reply. I achieved my aim using OpenGLRaw just now!

But as there are no methods to access UniformLocation, AttribLocation, VertexShader, FragmentShader and Program type internals, I rewrote almost all of code around GLSL with OpenGLRaw... _______________________________________________ HOpenGL mailing list HOpenGL@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/hopengl

It's point 2. The cabal package claims 3.2 compliance, though it's at most 2.1 compliant (HOpenGLRaw is 3.2 compliant). I've written code for 3.0 compliance (see github [pull request]), but that doens't include it either yet. It should be incorporated in the Uniform typeclass (see Shaders.hs or Sharders/Uniform.hs), but there should be a extra typeclass for matrices or it should be added to the tensor package.

Merged. The reminder helped, otherwise I would have continued to forget about it. Jason
