The OpenGL graphics system is a software interface to graphics
hardware. (“GL” stands for “Graphics Library.”) It allows you to
create interactive programs that produce color images of moving, three-
dimensional objects. With OpenGL, you can control computer-graphics
technology to produce realistic pictures, or ones that depart from reality
in imaginative ways.
The OpenGL Series from Addison-Wesley Professional comprises
tutorial and reference books that help programmers gain a practical
understanding of OpenGL standards, along with the insight needed to
unlock OpenGL’s full potential.
