Geometric primitives (points, lines, and polygons)
Raster primitives (bitmaps and pixel rectangles)
RGBA or color index mode
Display list or immediate mode
Viewing and modeling transformations
Hidden Surface Removal (depth buffer)
Alpha Blending (transparency)
Antialiasing

Atmospheric Effects (fog, smoke, and haze)
Polynomial Evaluators (to support Non-uniform rational B-splines)
Pixel Operations (storing, transforming, mapping, zooming)
Accumulation Buffer
Stencil Planes
Feedback, Selection, and Picking
OpenSource

The OpenGL functions described are provided on every OpenGL implementation to make applications written with OpenGL easily portable between platforms. All licensed OpenGL implementations are required to pass the Conformance Tests, and come from a single specification and language binding document.
More information and the source of the sample implementation can be found on the OpenGL Sample Implementation Homepage.
