  ALLEGRO\_SHADER\_GLSL - OpenGL Shading Language

- •

  ALLEGRO\_SHADER\_HLSL - High Level Shader Language (for Direct3D)

- •

  ALLEGRO\_SHADER\_AUTO\_MINIMAL - Like ALLEGRO\_SHADER\_AUTO, but pick a more minimal implementation that may not support alpha testing.

- •

  ALLEGRO\_SHADER\_GLSL\_MINIMAL - Minimal GLSL shader.

- •

  ALLEGRO\_SHADER\_HLSL\_MINIMAL - Minimal HLSL shader.

- •

  ALLEGRO\_SHADER\_HLSL\_SM\_3\_0 - HLSL shader using shader model 3\_0.
