Hello,

I use Lazarud IDE 4.99 (compiled from source). I have tab OpenGL with
3 components: TOpenGLControl, TOpenGLCanvas, TOpenGLPanel.

TOpenGLPanel works fine, I can draw triangle on it, but what is
TOpenGLCanvas? What it is good for? When I place this component on
form it has no opengl methods like MakeCurrent().
