[PD] GEM noobie: I don't understand this glsl thing... but I need it!

[Dan Wilcox]

glsl is the open gl shader language ... basically a simple C-like language for doing graphics stuff on the GPU, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GLSL

Also, see the OpenGL Orange Book

I've been able to implement an edge blurring function by copy/pasting the glsl code from the "panoramique.pd" patch and the "panoramique.vert" and "panoramique.frag" files to the right places, but it only blurs vertical edges. Can anyone tell me how I could blur horizontal edges too? and... what this glsl thing is all about. I'm no code expert, so please keep it understandable (!)
