The GLE Tubing and Extrusion Library is a graphics application
|
||
|
|
programming interface (API). The library consists of a number of
|
||
|
|
"C" language subroutines for drawing tubing and extrusions. It is
|
||
|
|
a very fast implementation of these shapes, outperforming all other
|
||
|
|
implementations, most by orders of magnitude. The library is
|
||
|
|
distributed in source code form, in a package that includes
|
||
|
|
documentation, a VRML proposal, Makefiles, and full source code and
|
||
|
|
header files. It uses the OpenGL (TM) programming API to perform
|
||
|
|
the actual drawing of the tubing and extrusions.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
GLE is designed for and maintained on the Linux operating system,
|
||
|
|
and is known to run on other Unix operating systems such as AIX,
|
||
|
|
IRIX, Ultrix and HPUX with OpenGL or Mesa. GLE is also known to run
|
||
|
|
on IBM OS/2 Warp, Apple Macintosh OS9, and Microsoft Windows NT and
|
||
|
|
has been used to develop screen-savers for some of these popular
|
||
|
|
PC operating systems.
