NAME
    cgCreateEffect - create an effect object from a source string

SYNOPSIS
      #include <Cg/cg.h>

      CGeffect cgCreateEffect( CGcontext context, 
                               const char * source,
                               const char ** args );

PARAMETERS
    context The context to which the new effect will be added.

    source  A string containing the effect's source code.

    args    If args is not NULL it is assumed to be an array of
            NULL-terminated strings that will be passed directly to the
            compiler as arguments. The last value of the array must be a
            NULL.

RETURN VALUES
    Returns a CGeffect handle on success.

    Returns NULL if any error occurs. cgGetLastListing can be called to
    retrieve any warning or error messages from the compilation process.

DESCRIPTION
    cgCreateEffect generates a new CGeffect object and adds it to the
    specified Cg context.

EXAMPLES
      char *effectSource = ...;
      CGcontext context = cgCreateContext();
      CGeffect effect  = cgCreateEffect(context,
                                        effectSource,
                                        NULL);

ERRORS
    CG_INVALID_CONTEXT_HANDLE_ERROR is generated if context is not a valid
    context.

    CG_COMPILER_ERROR is generated if compilation fails.

HISTORY
    cgCreateEffect was introduced in Cg 1.4.
