<h1>libQGLViewer features</h1>
Most of these functionalities are illustrated by an example, that is referenced by the
<img src="images/sphere.png" width="14" height="14" alt="sphere"/>
<h2>Main features</h2>
<ul>
<li>A camera trackball to easily move the camera in the scene (explorer or fly mode)
<a href="examples/simpleViewer.html">
<img src="images/sphere.png" width="14"height="14" alt="simpleViewer example"/></a>
<a href="examples/callback.html">
<img src="images/sphere.png" width="14" height="14" alt="callback example"/></a></li>
<li>Definition of a intuitive world coordinates system (aka the OpenGL modelView matrix made easy)
<a href="examples/simpleViewer.html">
<img src="images/sphere.png" width="14" height="14" alt="simpleViewer example"/></a></li>
<li>Coordinate systems (and hence objects) can easily be moved with the mouse
<a href="examples/manipulatedFrame.html">
<img src="images/sphere.png" width="14" height="14" alt="manipulatedFrame example"/></a>
<a href="examples/luxo.html">
<img src="images/sphere.png" width="14" height="14" alt="luxo example"/></a></li>
<li>Hierarchical coordinate systems (frames), with functions to convert from a frame to any other
<a href="examples/luxo.html">
<img src="images/sphere.png" width="14" height="14" alt="luxo example"/></a>
<a href="examples/frameTransform.html">
<img src="images/sphere.png" width="14" height="14" alt="frameTransform example"/></a></li>
<li>KeyFrameInterpolator to animate those frames, the camera being one of them
<a href="examples/keyFrames.html">
<img src="images/sphere.png" width="14" height="14" alt="keyFrames example"/></a>
<a href="examples/simpleViewer.html">
<img src="images/sphere.png" width="14" height="14" alt="simpleViewer example"/></a></li>
<li>Simple object selection using the mouse
<a href="examples/select.html">
<img src="images/sphere.png" width="14" height="14" alt="select example"/></a>
<a href="examples/multiSelect.html">
<img src="images/sphere.png" width="14" height="14" alt="multiSelect example"/></a></li>
<li>Screenshot saving at arbitrary sizes and in different file formats (jpg, png, bmp...), including vectorial rendering (eps, ps, xfig)
<a href="examples/simpleViewer.html">
<img src="images/sphere.png" width="14" height="14" alt="simpleViewer example"/></a></li>
<li>Complete and entirely customizable <a href="keyboard.html">keyboard shortcuts</a> and
<a href="mouse.html">mouse</a> behavior <a href="examples/keyboardAndMouse.html">

</ul>
<h2>and also...</h2>
<ul>
<li>Many simple <a href="examples/index.html">examples</a> illustrating the different functions
<a href="examples/index.html">

<li>Display of the frame rate, of a world axis, of a 2D grid and of camera paths, full screen display...
<a href="examples/simpleViewer.html">
<img src="images/sphere.png" width="14" height="14" alt="simpleViewer example"/></a></li>
<li>Easy drawing of text directly in screen coordinate system (2D overlay) or in 3D

</ul>
<h2>Philosophy</h2>
Classical 3D viewer features are directly available, so that you can quickly start the development of a new application, focussing on <i>what</i> is drawn instead of <i>how</i>
to make your software draw it.
<p>
All these functions are very easy to use. Adding code to select scene
objects and then manipulate them using the mouse can be done in 5 minutes.
</p>
See the different <a href="examples/index.html">examples</a> to get a more precise idea.
<a href="mailto:contact@libqglviewer.com">Send an email</a> if you think of
a new feature.
