<H2>What's Inside PLIB?</H2>
|
||
|
|
PLIB is comprised of a number of semi-autonomous libraries
|
||
|
|
that you can pretty much mix and match - using as much or
|
||
|
|
as little PLIB as you need. The components libraries are:

<TD>A fully portable set of GUI widgets that need OpenGL and C++

to operate. Useful for games because rendering these widgets is

performed very quickly by your 3D hardware.</TD>

<H2> Goodies: Samples and Demo's </H2>
|
||
|
|
There are quite a few example programs that each show off
|
||
|
|
one aspect of PLIB's use. We also distribute a set of demonstration
|
||
|
|
programs. These tend to be more complete and usable applications - some
|
||
|
|
games, some tools. These also show off PLIB's features - but in a
|
||
|
|
more holistic way than the example programs.

|
|
<H2>Documentation.</H2>
|
||
|
|
All documentation is available online (click on the package name
|
||
|
|
in the section above) and distributed with PLIB in HTML.
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
There are some interdependencies between the PLIB components - all
|
||
|
|
need the common utility library - many need the standard geometry
|
||
|
|
library for matix operations:
