Adding OpenGL library to Delphi xe2

I was wanting to learn OpenGL using Delphi But never added an library to Delphi or even sure if this is what you need to do? Anyone give some steps on how i would add openGL to delphi so i could call it in the uses section?

You need a wrapper for the OpenGL dlls that declare the types and functions needed, and then you call those functions from your Delphi code. The VCL includes a somewhat limited (and generic) wrapper in OpenGL.pas, but there are better ones available.

One of the popular wrappers for Delphi is the Open Source GLScene, which includes demos and wrapper units. It also includes visual components that you drop on your form just like any other Delphi components. The link above is for the SourceForge project; the GLScene web site has more information, including documentation and FAQs.
