Projects

GTK+

GTK+ is a multi-platform toolkit for creating graphical user interfaces. Offering a complete set of widgets, GTK+ is suitable for projects ranging from small one-off projects to complete application suites. GTK+ has been designed from the ground up to support a range of languages, not only C/C++. ... [More] Using GTK+ from languages such as Perl and Python (especially in combination with the Glade GUI builder) provides an effective method of rapid application development. [Less]

Cairo

Cairo is a 2D graphics library with support for multiple output devices, both raster and vector. It focusses on high quality output at display resolutions and features an extremely easy to use API.

Simple DirectMedia Layer

A cross-platform multimedia library designed to provide low level access to audio, keyboard, mouse, joystick, 3D hardware via OpenGL, and 2D video framebuffer. SDL supports Linux, Windows, Windows CE, BeOS, MacOS, Mac OS X, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, BSD/OS, Solaris, IRIX, and QNX. The code ... [More] contains unofficial support for AmigaOS, Dreamcast, Atari, AIX, OSF/Tru64, RISC OS, SymbianOS, and OS/2. SDL is written in C, but works with C++ natively, and has bindings to several other languages, including Ada, C#, Eiffel, Erlang, Euphoria, Guile, Haskell, Java, Lisp, Lua, ML, Objective C, Pascal, Perl, PHP, Pike, Pliant, Python, Ruby, Smalltalk, and Tcl.

KDElibs (KDE)

claimed by KDE

The KDE libraries, basis of KDE and used by many open source projects. They are based on Qt, Trolltech's cross-platform toolkit, and run on Linux, BSDs, and other Unices, as well as Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X. Licensed under GNU LGPL, they may be used by open source and proprietary applications.

Mesa

Mesa is an open-source implementation of the OpenGL specification - a system for rendering interactive 3D graphics. A variety of device drivers allows Mesa to be used in many different environments ranging from software emulation to complete hardware acceleration for modern GPUs. Mesa ties ... [More] into several other open-source projects: the Direct Rendering Infrastructure and X.org to provide OpenGL support to users of X on Linux, FreeBSD and other operating systems. [Less]

fontconfig

Fontconfig is a library for font customization and configuration.

Pygame

Pygame is a set of Python modules designed for writing games. It is written on top of the excellent SDL library. This allows you to create fully featured games and multimedia programs in the python language. Pygame is highly portable and runs on nearly every platform and operating system.

Xlib

Xlib provides a C API for the X Window System protocol, along with numerous utility functions. Current versions of Xlib provide a compatibility wrapper around the X C Binding (XCB) library. For new projects, particularly toolkits, see the XCB library for the designated replacement.

Open Scene Graph

The OpenSceneGraph is an open source high performance 3D graphics toolkit, used by application developers in fields such as visual simulation, games, virtual reality, scientific visualization and modelling. Written entirely in Standard C++ and OpenGL it runs on all Windows platforms, OSX, GNU/Linux ... [More] , IRIX, Solaris, HP-Ux, AIX and FreeBSD operating systems. [Less]

Clutter Toolkit

Clutter is an open source (LGPLv2.1+) software library for creating fast, compelling, portable, and dynamic graphical user interfaces. It is a core part of MeeGo, and is supported by the open source community. Its development is sponsored by Intel. Clutter uses OpenGL for rendering (and ... [More] optionally OpenGL|ES for use on mobile and embedded platforms), but wraps an easy to use, efficient, flexible API around GL's complexity. Clutter enforces no particular user interface style, but provides a rich, generic foundation for higher-level toolkits tailored to specific needs. [Less]
