Geometry shader (abbreviation GS) is a shader program, normally excecuted on the Graphics processing unit.
Function
A geometry shader can generate new primitives from existing primitives like pixels, lines and triangles.
As the creation of new primitives is not really a "shading" process, the shader type has a special role between the other types of shader.
Programming
Geometry shader are programmed in the following languages: Assembler, HLSL, GLSL.
