There are several similar OpenGL operations when working with an NSOpenGLView:

  • glFlush()
  • [[self openGLContext] flushBuffer]

    The correct approach is just calling [[self openGLContext] flushBuffer].

    Have you looked at this? It explains when to use glFlush() and glFinish(). Both are OpenGL functions that control execution and synchronizing of commands. Generally you would want to use these functions when doing multi-threaded rendering otherwise there shouldn't be any need.

    glSwapAPPLE() and aglSwapBuffers() are extensions provided by Apple to display the contents of the backbuffer to screen (on Windows it's wglSwapBuffers()). You should use either one but not both as they really do the same thing. I would stick to the AGL method as it's analogous to WGL, EGL, etc..

    [[self openGLContext] flushBuffer] is probably an objective C wrapper to glFlush() from the looks of it. I can't imagine it doing anything else.

    Be careful! [[self openGLContext] flushBuffer] is not just an Objective-C wrapper for gFlush(). This function (- (void)flushBuffer in the Apple Documentation) works only if you set double buffer in your pixel format like

    NSOpenGLPixelFormatAttribute attributes [] =
        {
            NSOpenGLPFADoubleBuffer,
            // other presets like
            // NSOpenGLPFAOpenGLProfile, NSOpenGLProfileVersion3_2Core,
            // NSOpenGLPFADepthSize, 32,
            0
        };
    
        NSOpenGLPixelFormat *pixelFormat = [[NSOpenGLPixelFormat alloc] 
                                                initWithAttributes:attributes];
    

    Otherwise you have to use glFlush(); It took me a long time until I saw the essential line in the NSOpenGLContext Class Reference.
