freeglut
open-in-new
<p>freeglut is an <a href="/facts/Open-source_software/HzTaB8E9">open-source</a> alternative to the <a href="/facts/OpenGL_Utility_Toolkit/trQpU8Lv">OpenGL Utility Toolkit</a> (GLUT) library. GLUT (and hence freeglut) 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. freeglut is intended to be a full replacement for GLUT, and has only a few differences. </p><p>Since GLUT has gone into stagnation, freeglut is in development to improve the toolkit. It is released under the <a href="/facts/MIT_License/8llAQtlk">MIT License</a>. </p>
