| Hans-G?nter@24563 | 1 Freeglut is a free-software and open-source alternative to the OpenGL |
| Hans-G?nter@24563 | 2 Utility Toolkit (GLUT) library. |
| Hans-G?nter@24563 | 3 GLUT was originally written by Mark Kilgard to support the sample |
| Hans-G?nter@24563 | 4 programs in the second edition OpenGL 'RedBook'. Since then, GLUT has |
| Hans-G?nter@24563 | 5 been used in a wide variety of practical applications because it is |
| Hans-G?nter@24563 | 6 simple, widely available and highly portable. |
| Hans-G?nter@24563 | 7 |
| Hans-G?nter@24563 | 8 GLUT (and hence freeglut) takes care of all the system-specific chores |
| Hans-G?nter@24563 | 9 required for creating windows, initializing OpenGL contexts, and |
| Hans-G?nter@24563 | 10 handling input events, to allow for truely portable OpenGL programs. |
