This book provides definitive information on OpenGL, a powerful software interface for graphics hardware that enables graphics programmers to produce high-quality color images of 3D objects. The authors' coverage ranges from basic functions of the latest OpenGL release to the sophisticated capabilities of the OpenGL Utility Library. The third edition has been extensively updated to include the newest features of OpenGL, Version 1.2, and includes many code examples and sample color images.
