Learning OpenGL on Xcode

Question

How do you code in OpenGL on Xcode without going into the app-templates ?

App templates? Do you mean by choosing Cocoa Application etc.? You have to create a new project using templates, unless you want to make it using C. If you wanna use C, then just choose command-line tool. — TheAmateurProgrammer, Jan 23 '13 at 07:37

It has some info and gl setup examples. Still it would be good to get gl template from apple examples.

thank you all for your help - I'm just beginning openGL, I'm taking a class this semester. I don't know much of the language yet. What I want to know is "how" I code, ie, where do I write openGL code. Suppose all I wanted to do was draw a single point, where would I write the code for that, and what library(ies) would I need to import ? – user1542660 Jan 24 '13 at 14:34
This requires a bit of storyboard work and also coding. Let me know your email, I will send you some working proto with bunch of very common gl things (drawing objects, picking, etc) – Cynichniy Bandera Jan 24 '13 at 17:00
btw, do you need it for osx or ios? – Cynichniy Bandera Jan 24 '13 at 17:00

Keep in mind that Mac OS X supports OpenGL only up to 3.2, so you'd be limited to GLSL version 1.3.
