/// \class sf::Shader
/// \ingroup graphics
///
/// Shaders are programs written using a specific language,
/// executed directly by the graphics card and allowing
/// to apply real-time operations to the rendered entities.
///
/// There are three kinds of shaders:
/// \li %Vertex shaders, that process vertices
/// \li Geometry shaders, that process primitives
/// \li Fragment (pixel) shaders, that process pixels
///
/// A sf::Shader can be composed of either a vertex shader
/// alone, a geometry shader alone, a fragment shader alone,
/// or any combination of them. (see the variants of the
/// load functions).
///
/// Shaders are written in GLSL, which is a C-like
/// language dedicated to OpenGL shaders. You'll probably
/// need to learn its basics before writing your own shaders
/// for SFML.
///
/// Like any C/C++ program, a GLSL shader has its own variables
/// called \a uniforms that you can set from your C++ application.
/// sf::Shader handles different types of uniforms:
/// \li scalars: \p float, \p int, \p bool
/// \li vectors (2, 3 or 4 components)
/// \li matrices (3x3 or 4x4)
/// \li samplers (textures)
///
/// Some SFML-specific types can be converted:
/// \li sf::Color as a 4D vector (\p vec4)
/// \li sf::Transform as matrices (\p mat3 or \p mat4)
///
/// Every uniform variable in a shader can be set through one of the
/// setUniform() or setUniformArray() overloads. For example, if you
/// have a shader with the following uniforms:
/// \code
/// uniform float offset;
/// uniform vec3 point;
/// uniform vec4 color;
/// uniform mat4 matrix;
/// uniform sampler2D overlay;
/// uniform sampler2D current;
/// \endcode
/// You can set their values from C++ code as follows, using the types
/// defined in the sf::Glsl namespace:
/// \code
/// shader.setUniform("offset", 2.f);
/// shader.setUniform("point", sf::Vector3f(0.5f, 0.8f, 0.3f));
/// shader.setUniform("color", sf::Glsl::Vec4(color));          // color is a sf::Color
/// shader.setUniform("matrix", sf::Glsl::Mat4(transform));     // transform is a sf::Transform
/// shader.setUniform("overlay", texture);                      // texture is a sf::Texture
/// shader.setUniform("current", sf::Shader::CurrentTexture);
/// \endcode
///
/// The old setParameter() overloads are deprecated and will be removed in a
/// future version. You should use their setUniform() equivalents instead.
///
/// The special Shader::CurrentTexture argument maps the
/// given \p sampler2D uniform to the current texture of the
/// object being drawn (which cannot be known in advance).
///
/// To apply a shader to a drawable, you must pass it as an
/// additional parameter to the \ref Window::draw() draw() function:
/// \code
/// window.draw(sprite, &shader);
/// \endcode
///
/// ... which is in fact just a shortcut for this:
/// \code
/// sf::RenderStates states;
/// states.shader = &shader;
/// window.draw(sprite, states);
/// \endcode
///
/// In the code above we pass a pointer to the shader, because it may
/// be null (which means "no shader").
///
/// Shaders can be used on any drawable, but some combinations are
/// not interesting. For example, using a vertex shader on a sf::Sprite
/// is limited because there are only 4 vertices, the sprite would
/// have to be subdivided in order to apply wave effects.
/// Another bad example is a fragment shader with sf::Text: the texture
/// of the text is not the actual text that you see on screen, it is
/// a big texture containing all the characters of the font in an
/// arbitrary order; thus, texture lookups on pixels other than the
/// current one may not give you the expected result.
///
/// Shaders can also be used to apply global post-effects to the
/// current contents of the target (like the old sf::PostFx class
/// in SFML 1). This can be done in two different ways:
/// \li draw everything to a sf::RenderTexture, then draw it to
///     the main target using the shader
/// \li draw everything directly to the main target, then use
///     sf::Texture::update(Window&) to copy its contents to a texture
///     and draw it to the main target using the shader
///
/// The first technique is more optimized because it doesn't involve
/// retrieving the target's pixels to system memory, but the
/// second one doesn't impact the rendering process and can be
/// easily inserted anywhere without impacting all the code.
///
/// Like sf::Texture that can be used as a raw OpenGL texture,
/// sf::Shader can also be used directly as a raw shader for
/// custom OpenGL geometry.
/// \code
/// sf::Shader::bind(&shader);
/// ... render OpenGL geometry ...
/// sf::Shader::bind(NULL);
/// \endcode
///
/// \see sf::Glsl
