OpenGL is a software interface for rendering 2D and 3D graphics. It consists of over 250 function calls that can draw complex scenes from basic primitives. The OpenGL architecture uses a client-server model with the application as the client running on the CPU and the graphics engine as the server running on the GPU. OpenGL has applications in 3D modeling, animation, rendering and CAD programs. It provides hardware acceleration, real-time effects, and supports future innovation. While OpenGL is cross-platform and independent of networks, it only supports visuals and requires another package for user interfaces. It also lacks support on some mobile browsers and has alternatives like DirectX and Metal.

OpenGL

OpenGL (Open Graphics Library) is a software interface


to graphics hardware. The interface consists of over 250
different function calls which can be used to draw
complex two and three-dimensional scenes from simple
geometric primitives such as points, lines, and polygons.
Architecture of OpenGL

The architecture of OpenGL is based on a client-server


model. An application program written to use the OpenGL
API is the "client" and runs on the CPU. The implementation
of the OpenGL graphics engine (including the GLSL shader
programs you will write) is the "server" and runs on the GPU.
Applications of OpenGL
• 3D Studio Max, modeling, animation and rendering package.
• Autodesk AutoCAD, 2D/3D CAD.
• Autodesk Maya, modeling, animation, sculpting, and
rendering package that uses its own scripting language,
MEL.
• Blender, 3D CAD, animation and game engine.
• Cadence Allegro, Computer-aided design, Electronics.
Features of OpenGL

• Stable Delivers fast and complete 3D hardware


acceleration
• Makes real time 3D effects possible
• Designed to support future innovation in softwares
and hardware
• Stable system
Libraries
• Core Open GL
• OpenGL Utility Library(GLU)
• OpenGL Utilities Toolkit(GLUT)
• OpenGL Extention Wrangler Library(GLEW)
Application : Triangle using OpenGL

Output:
Advantages
• The engine powering this speed is the Graphics Processing
Unit, or GPU Cross-Platform.
• OpenGL applications offer reliability and provide
consistent visual display results on any OpenGL API-
compliant hardware, regardless of operating system or
windowing system.
• OpenGL offers complete independence from network
protocols and typologies.
• Triangle strips supported.
Disadvantages
• OpenGL is only for 3D and 2D visuals, there are no GUI
components to it.
• Requires another package to provide UI controls.
• Not supported by many web browsers on mobile devices.
• There are other very good alternatives to OpenGL like
Microsoft’s DirectX for example, or
• Apple’s Metal.
Conclusion
OpenGL is an application programming interface (API)
designed for rendering 2D and 3D graphics. It provides a
common set of commands that can be used to manage
graphics in different applications and on multiple
platforms. It is faster and seems to have a smoother and
more efficient pipeline.
