It works on X11, Mac OS X, and Windows. + +Pugl is vaguely similar to GLUT, but with some significant distinctions: + + * Minimal in scope, providing only what is necessary to draw and receive + keyboard and mouse input. + + * No reliance on static data whatsoever, so the API can be used in plugins or + multiple independent parts of a program. + + * Single implementation, which is small, liberally licensed Free / Open Source + Software, and suitable for direct inclusion in programs if avoiding a + library dependency is desired. + + * Support for embedding in other windows, so Pugl code can draw to a widget + inside a larger GUI. + + * More complete support for keyboard input, including additional "special" + keys, modifiers, and support for detecting individual modifier key presses. + +For more information, see <http://drobilla.net/software/pugl>. + + -- David Robillard <d@drobilla.net> |
