GLT OpenGL C++ Toolkit
GLT is a C++ class library for programming interactive 3D graphics with OpenGL.
GLT can be used as an object oriented interface to OpenGL, or as a library of
pre-canned functionality for transformations, shapes or fonts, and so on.
GlutMaster is a C++ interface to the GLUT library, providing a portable window,
keyboard, mouse and menu environment for OpenGL programs. GlutMaster can also be
used in combination with Open Inventor. (Note that using GlutMaster with
OpenInventor has limitations in terms of user interface components) GlutMaster
is based on a previous implementation by George Stetten and Korin Crawford. This
version of GlutMaster is a complete re-write, with additional support for menus,
and "examiner" style mouse manipulation.
GLT is extremely portable. It depends only on OpenGL. It has been compiled and
tested on Windows NT with Visual C++ 6.0 and Cygwin gcc. Linux and SGI IRIX are
also supported.
GLT is a work in progress, and by no means covers the entire OpenGL
specification. However, it already includes several useful classes and is
designed so that additional classes can be added easily. It may also serve as a
useful reference, or a HOW-TO for solving common problems.
Guiding Principles
Unrestrictive license: LGPL
Clean, documented C++ implementation
Portable
Convenient
Concise
Useful
Complete
Transparent
GLT is available under the terms of the LGPL open-source license. This allows
commercial and non-commercial use. GLT is intended for a wide variety of
applications including (but not specifically) games.
GLT classes are intended to be convenient, concise, useful and complete. C++
language features such as operator overloading and automatic constructors and
destructors improve the consistancy, reliability and compactness of code. GLT
makes use of, and complements the standard C++ library including streams,
templated containers and iterators.
GLT programs are portable. All GLT functionality is portable to other platforms.
GLT programs tend not to depend on platform specific layers for window
management, font support, and so on.
While GLT is a wrapper for OpenGL, the library allows complete access to the
underlying APIs, for true flexibility.
GLT programs are self-contained. Libraries are statically linked whenever
possible and resources such as textures compiled into the executable. Benefits
include convenience, ease of installation and robustness. Avoiding DLL hell is
also considered a good thing
