ABS(3G)

✨ ABS(3G) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the ABS page from the <3G> manual section — yes that's the OpenGL shading language corner of the man-verse, and no you don't have to be scared, it's literally just "gimme the absolute value" energy 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

abs — return the absolute value of the parameter

---

🎀 DECLARATION 🎀

here's the three glow-ups of the same function, pick the one that matches your type bestie:

genType abs(genType x);

genIType abs(genIType x);

genDType abs(genDType x);

---

🦋 PARAMETERS 🦋

• x — the value you want the absolute of. hand it over, we're taking the absolute. ✨

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

abs returns the absolute value of x. that's it. that's the whole vibe. no cap, it just eats the minus sign for breakfast and hands you back a non-negative number like the icon it is 👑

👑 VERSION SUPPORT 👑

so here's the tea on which OpenGL Shading Language versions each overload showed up for — because yes, not all of them were invited to the party from day one 🙈

The columns are the GLSL versions: 1.10, 1.20, 1.30, 1.40, 1.50, 3.30, 4.00, 4.10, 4.20, 4.30, 4.40, 4.50. A ✔ means supported, a - means not supported (yet, or ever).

ngl this one was lowkey in her hermit era for a WHILE, ghosting 1.10 all the way through 4.00, and then finally said hi in 4.10 and has been thriving ever since 😭💜
