1 Freeglut is a free-software and open-source alternative to the OpenGL
2 Utility Toolkit (GLUT) library.
3 GLUT was originally written by Mark Kilgard to support the sample
4 programs in the second edition OpenGL 'RedBook'. Since then, GLUT has
5 been used in a wide variety of practical applications because it is
6 simple, widely available and highly portable.
8 GLUT (and hence freeglut) takes care of all the system-specific chores
9 required for creating windows, initializing OpenGL contexts, and
10 handling input events, to allow for truely portable OpenGL programs.
