Visualization Library 是一个 C++ 的中间件用来开发基于 OpenGL 2.1 的 2D/3D 应用程序，支持高级特性包括 OpenGL Shading 语言、帧缓冲对象、多目标渲染、Vertex 以及点阵缓冲对象、KdTree/AABB frustum culling 等等。提供一个基于 Unicode 的多语言文本引擎、高级纹理、DDS cubemaps, mipmaps, compressed textures, 等等。特别适合用来开发 3D/2D 的可视化、虚拟现实、可视化模拟、数据展现、多媒体程序以及具有特效的三维和两维的游戏。-Visualization Library is a C++ middleware for high-performance 2D and 3D graphics applications based on the industry standard OpenGL 1.x-4.x, designed to develop portable applications for the Windows, Linux and Mac OS X operating systems.



Visualization Library is currently used by professionals, researchers and students to develop all sorts of 2D and 3D applications.



Visualization Libray has been designed to be a fine-grained platform upon which a wide variety of highly-specialized 3D graphics applications can be effectively developed. Instead of abstracting the user from the underlying OpenGL API, Visualization Library stays as close as possible to it and defines a thin high-performance layer on top of it. The result is that many OpenGL functions and features have a 1 to 1 mapping to Visualization Library s classes.



You can think of Visualization Library as a toolkit that provides you with the power and flexibility of OpenGL within a light and user friendly C++ object orie
