NAME

kgl - (pronounced kugle) is a GL compatible graphics library.

DESCRIPTION

KGL is a drop in replacement for the SGI GL graphics library. In many ways KGL is similar to vogle. KGL supports zbuffering, double buffering, gouraud shadeing, lighting (diffuse and ambient only), transparency ... KGL does not support convex polygons or texture mapping right now. KGL is written in C++ and is very hardware independent. Right now KGL runs on the Sparc, HP700 and PC platforms. KGL is callable from both C and C++.

KGL can be used from within LYMB (see LYMB). This is done by using the gl classes but linking with the KGL library instead of the standard GL library. Obviously this makes the most sense on machines that don't already have GL on them, eg Sparcs.
