What is the recommended way to create and use a Shader object? Graphics.Rendering.OpenGL.GL.Shaders.Shaders has a function createShader which looks good, but is not exported. Similar not-exported functions seem to exist for the Program type. If there's still work do be done on this part of the library, I can to test out some code and submit a pull request. Thanks, bergey

Personally I tend to use OpenGLRaw package or OpenGLRaw21 package, as OpenGL package diverges from all the useful non-Haskell tutorials and documentation by a wide margin, and OpenGL package doesn't yet support such useful things as geometry shaders. Anyway, usage is mostly via the ObjectName/StateVar interface:

Thank you. The example you gave was very helpful in understanding the
use of StateVars.
