GLGX v0.24 An OpenGL Utility Library
This library is an utility library for OpenGL applications like D3DX for DirectX. It includes mathematic classes and functions (projection and view matrices creation)(vectors, matrices, quaternions, ...), functions for textures loading, GLSL shaders loading, frustum computation, ...

This library is written in C/C++
It will be available on Windows ( MinGW,Visual C++ 2005 Express), Linux and probably Haiku .
GLGX is under a BSD-style license.

    • Features
    See the list of all functions here

    To know:
  • GLGX should be compatible with OpenGL 3.1. Please report any deprecated functions or problems.
  • You can see an example of GLGX use in the LibAn8 SDK.
  • GLGX depends on GLee, but it's very easy to modify the source code to depend on an other OpenGL extension library.
  • GLGX depends on IPICTURE or DevIL for image loading ( Win32 binaries are compiled with IPICTURE by default). It's very easy to choose which library you want use before compilation. The use of an another library should also be possible (you would just have to modify GLGXImage.cpp)

    • Update your OpenGL Application !
    Old and unefficiant OpenGL functions have been declared as deprecated in OpenGL 3.1 (Ex: glVertex, glBegin, glNormalPointer, glEnable( GL_TEXTURE_2D), Matices functions...). Get ready for the future and be aware of that to get the maximum power from OpenGL ! Read the last OpenGL specification to know the list of deprecated functions.
