This demonstrates a number a the key techniques one needs to master in the
context of OpenGL programming with MonoMac and MonoTouch.

It shows how to:

- create a customized NSOpenGLView based class using InterfaceBuilder,
complete the code generated by MonoMac,  have it perform OpenGL drawing
operations, make it depth test aware, transparent...   
 - create a customized UIView based class using InterfaceBuilder, complete
the code generated by MonoTouch  so as to make it OpenGL aware and display
OpenGL generated drawings.
- create, compile, activate Vertex and Fragment shaders. 
- create 2D/3D colored/textures Vertex Buffers 
- manage FrameBuffer Objects (FBOs)
- produce the matrixes for a given 3D scene 
- connect vertex buffers/textures/matrixes to shaders
- render vertex buffers 
- create textures from CoreGraphics drawings
- perform per pixel lighting using a Fragment shader
- use offscreen renderings to produce a texture, transfer its content to a
CGImage displayed in a (NS/UI)View
- ...
     
The tutorial is made of two solutions: MonoMac.sln and Monotouch.sln

Each solution contains the same two projects:

- OpenTKUtilities: 

    This assembly proposes a number of reusable classes encapsulating such
various services as vertex/fragment shaders compilation, camera/projection
matrixes calculation, textures generation ... along with the source code of
the demonstrated OpenGL sequences.
 
  The COTKProgram class encapsulates the creation, compilation, activation
of a pair of Vertex / Fragment shaders.
  
    The DVMatrix4x4D class exposes a number of methods making easy to
calculate the matrixes used by Vertex Shaders to perform the World / Camera
/ Perspective transformations needed to visualize 3D scenes.
  
  The COpenTKSamples class exposes a number of 'public static' methode
providing the code of the OpenGL sequences proposed by the tutorial.
  
  The COpenTKUtilities class exposes a number of general purpose, reusable
methods invoked by the Test application.   

- Tests: an application demonstating the proposed techniques.
