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.
