Libraries 0% /Glew/ The OpenGL Extension Wrangler Library (GLEW) is a cross-platform C/C++ library that helps in querying and loading OpenGL extensionshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenGL_Extension_Wrangler_Library. Note that GLEW is open sourcehttp://www.opengl.org/sdk/libs/GLEW/. 0% /Glm/ OpenGL Mathematics library, comes with mathematics code for vector, matrices etc. 50% /GLUT/ The OpenGL Utility Toolkit (GLUT) is a library of utilities for OpenGL programs, which primarily perform system-level I/O with the host operating system. Functions performed include window definition, window control, and monitoring of keyboard and mouse inputhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenGL_Utility_Toolkit. Note that GLUT is not open sourceParagraph 4: http://www.opengl.org/resources/libraries/glut/. 0% /Qt/ Qt is a cross-platform application and UI framework for developers using C++ or QML, a CSS & JavaScript like languageDirect quote from: http://qt-project.org/. Glut open-source alternatives 0% /CPW/ Cpw is an application framework library for OpenGL applications and games modeled after the GLUT API. It is designed with speed, simplicity, and portability in mind. 0% /Fast Light Toolkit/ FLTK provides modern GUI functionality without the bloat and supports 3D graphics via OpenGL and its built-in GLUT emulation. 0% /Freeglut/ Open source and extended alternative to GLUT that allows the user to create and manage windows containing OpenGL contexts on a wide range of platforms and also read the mouse, keyboard and joystick functions. 0% /GLFW/ Open source, portable framework for OpenGL application development with a link library for handling operating system specific tasks, such as opening an OpenGL window and reading keyboard, mouse and joystick inputList of alternatives for GLUT: http://www.opengl.org/resources/libraries/windowtoolkits/. 0% /GLOW Toolkit/ C++ wrapper for GLUT, providing a fully object-oriented API for creating windows, menus and other GUI elements, and for event handling. 0% /GLT and GlutMaster/ GLT can be used as an object oriented interface to OpenGL, or as a library of pre-canned functionality for transformations, shapes or fonts, etc. GlutMaster is a C++ interface wrapper to GLUT, providing a portable window, keyboard, mouse and menu environment for OpenGL programs. 0% /GLUI UI Library/ GLUI is a GLUT-based C++ user interface library which provides controls such as buttons, checkboxes, radio buttons, and spinners to OpenGL applications. It is window-system independent, using GLUT or FreeGLUT. 0% /NGL/ NGL is an application framework similar in many ways to GLUT, but with many enhancements in order to make it an easy and yet powerful tool for cross-platform C++ application programming. 0% SDL (Simple Direct Media Layer) A cross-platform multimedia library designed to provide level access to audio, keyboard, mouse, joystick, 3D hardware via OpenGL, and 2D video framebuffer. Other 0% /OpenCL/ OpenCL™ is the first open, royalty-free standard for cross-platform, parallel programming of modern processors found in personal computers, servers and handheld/embedded deviceshttp://www.khronos.org/opencl/. 0% /OpenAL/ A cross-platform audio API that deliberately resemble those of OpenGLhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenAL.
