12libQGLViewer is a C++ library based on Qt that eases the creation of OpenGL 3D viewers.
13
14It provides some of the typical 3D viewer functionalities, such as the possibility to
15move the camera using the mouse, which lacks in most of the other APIs. Other features
16include mouse manipulated frames, interpolated keyFrames, object selection, stereo
17display, screenshot saving and much more. It can be used by OpenGL beginners as well as
18to create complex applications, being fully customizable and easy to extend.
19
20Based on the Qt toolkit, it compiles on any architecture (Unix-Linux, Mac, Windows).
21Full reference documentation and many examples are provided. libQGLViewer does not
22display 3D scenes in various formats, but it can be the base for the coding of such a
23viewer.

25libQGLViewer uses dual licensing: it is freely available under the terms of the GNU-GPL
26license for open source software development, while commercial applications can apply
