Summary : A library for using 3D graphics hardware to draw pretty pictures
URL : http://www.clutter-project.org/
License : LGPLv2+
Description : Cogl is a small open source library for using 3D graphics hardware
: to draw pretty pictures. The API departs from the flat state
: machine style of OpenGL and is designed to make it easy to write
: orthogonal components that can render without stepping on each
: others toes.
:
: As well aiming for a nice API, we think having a single library as
: opposed to an API specification like OpenGL has a few advantages
: too; like being able to paper over the inconsistencies/bugs of
: different OpenGL implementations in a centralized place, not to
: mention the myriad of OpenGL extensions. It also means we are in a
: better position to provide utility APIs that help software
: developers since they only need to be implemented once and there
: is no risk of inconsistency between implementations.
:
: Having other backends, besides OpenGL, such as drm, Gallium or D3D
: are options we are interested in for the future.
