gltools

(contact: J. Fuhrmann, phone: +49 30/20372-560)

gltools has been designed with the needs of numerical analysts in mind. Thus, unlike many other packages available, it can be used to enhance existing codes with interactive or non-interactive graphical output. It enhances the OpenGL API with the following additional functionality:

• [-] multiple independent windows;
• [-] basic interactive handling through mouse and keyboard;
• [-] interactive three-dimensional rendering volume;
• [-] character output;
• [-] high-quality frame dump in encapsulated postscript format;
• [-] MPEG video recording of window contents;
• [-] piecewise linear function rendering on two- and three-dimensional simplex meshes

  (landscape view of plane sections, isolevel surfaces, isolines) with an

• [-] universal, callback-based mesh interface.
