OpenGL User Interface Library (GLUI) is a C++ user interface library based on the OpenGL Utility Toolkit (GLUT) which provides widgets such as buttons, checkboxes, radio buttons, and spinners to OpenGL applications.[2] It is window- and operating system independent, relying on GLUT to handle all system-dependent issues, such as window and mouse management.[3]
It lacks the features of a more full-fledged GUI toolkit such as Qt, wxWidgets or FLTK, but it has a very small footprint and is extremely easy to use. A research or demonstration program that originally only uses GLUT can be given a useful control panel using GLUI in a short time, even by someone new to the toolkit.[citation needed]
It was first written by Paul Rademacher to help him with his academic work. Version 2.2 was created and maintained by Nigel Stewart and the software is not maintained as a community edition.[1]
The toolkit only gives limited control over fonts and colors.[4]
