Description

An incomplete but working Eiffel wrapping of OpenGL.

EiffelOpenGL is the collective name for the Eiffel wrappings of two distinct libraries: OpenGL and GLUT (OpenGL Utility Toolkit).

OpenGL comprises two main libraries: the core OpenGL (GL) and the OpenGL Utility (GLU) libraries. There also exists a set of small extension libraries for each windowing system that supports OpenGL.

GLUT implements a small platform independent (ie. independent of the Win32, X Window platforms) windowing system with support for basic windowing functionality such as creating windows and handling window, keyboard and mouse events. GLUT is not part of OpenGL proper.

At this time, EiffelOpenGL provides a partial but working wrapping under MS-Windows.
