OpenGL¶

Open Graphics Library (OpenGL) is a cross-language, cross-platform application programming interface (API) for rendering 2D and 3D vector graphics.

This module is a bundle of software required for OpenGL rendering. It provides Mesa as an open-source implementation of the OpenGL specification with software rendering and AMD GPU support, libglvnd for a vendor neutral dispatch layer for rendering with both NVIDIA GPUs & Mesa, Mesa-demos for sample applications, and GLU as an computer graphics library utilizing OpenGL.
