## Class PShader

- java.lang.Object
- - processing.opengl.PShader

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    PConstants

      public class PShader
      extends Object
      implements PConstants

  This class encapsulates a GLSL shader program, including a vertex and a fragment shader. Based on the GLSLShader class from GLGraphics, which in turn was originally based in the code by JohnG: http://processing.org/discourse/beta/num_1159494801.html
