Introduction

OpenGLUT is an open source project to evolve the GLUT (OpenGL Utility Toolkit) C/C++ API. OpenGLUT uses the freeglut code base as a foundation for extending, enhancing and refining the API.

The current focus of the project is fixing bugs and improving cross-platform support.

Our longer term goal is to define and implement OpenGLUT API Version 1.0 - intended to supercede the GLUT 3.x API.

Motivation

Part of the GLUT family

Features

Some changes since forking from freeglut include:

Current proposals for OpenGLUT 1.0

Other ideas being considered

Documentation

Detailed API and example documentation is available online or as a download in HTML and man-page formats.

Download

The latest development version of OpenGLUT is available via SourceForge.

Developers

The current development version of OpenGLUT is source-compatible with the GLUT API, but not binary-compatible.

Compatibility of OpenGLUT 1.0 with GLUT 3.x has not yet been decided.

The motivation for the OpenGLUT API is to make OpenGL based development easy, productive and reliable. We would welcome feedback in relation to API proposals, results with using OpenGLUT in applications, and feature requests or proposals. There may well be functionality in your own application that could serve a broader long-term purpose.
