OpenGL is a world-class programming ecosystem for developing portable, interactive 2D & 3D graphics applications. Originally realeased in 1992, OpenGL has become the computer graphics industry's most used and supported 2D and 3D graphics application programming interface, also known as an API OpenGL also brings thousands of 3D applications to a wide variety of computer platforms. OpenGL helps to foster innovation and helps speed application development cycles by incorporating a wide set of rendering, texture map, special effects, and other powerful visualization functionality. 3D developers can leverage the power of OpenGL across all popular desktop and workstation platforms, ensuring wide application deployment.

The OpenGL Visualization Programming Pipeline
OpenGL routines greatly simplify the advanced development of 3D graphics software applications including rendering a simple geometric point or, line, or filled polygon. It can be as far reaching as to include the creation of the most complex lighted and texture-mapped NURBS curved surface. OpenGL gives 3D software developers total access to geometric and image primitives, display lists, modeling transformations, lighting and texturing, anti-aliasing, blending, and other programming features.
All leading advanced software developers use OpenGL, because of its extremely robust rendering libraries, as the 2D/3D graphics foundation for higher-level APIs. 3D developers leverage the advanced capabilities of OpenGL to deliver on time highly differentiated and widely-supported vertical market solutions. In example: Open Inventor provides a cross platform UI and flexible scene-graph that makes it simple to create OpenGL applications.
