f90gl

Fortran 77 and Fortran 90 interfaces for OpenGL, a portable API for interactive 2D and 3D graphics. Staff: W. Mitchell With: Avid Technologies, Silicon Graphics, OpenGL Architecture Review Board Built out of need for interactive graphics in PHAML. OpenGL FORTRAN 77 Binding Proposal originally developed by SGI was incomplete and not portable. f90gl extends the binding to full functionality in Fortran 77, proposes a complete binding for Fortran 90, and provides a complete functional reference implementation. Usable with Mesa (3D graphics library) and GLUT (OpenGL Utility Toolkit). Currently under consideration by the OpenGL Architecture Review Board.
