Version 2.2.6-1. Packaged on July 4, 2007
libQGLViewer is an open source C++ library based on Qt that enables the quick creation
of OpenGL 3D viewers. It features a powerful camera trackball and simple applications
simply require an implementation of the draw() function. It is a tool of choice for
OpenGL beginners and assignements. It provides screenshot saving, mouse manipulated
frames, stereo display, interpolated keyFrames, object selection, and much more. It is
fully customizable and easy to extend to create complex applications, with an optional
Qt GUI.
libQGLViewer is not a 3D viewer that can be used directly to view 3D scenes in various
formats. It is more likely to be the starting point for the coding of such a viewer.
Since it is based on the Qt toolkit, it compiles on any architecture (Unix-Linux, Mac,
Windows, ...). Full reference documentation and many examples are provided.
The viewer's main functionalities are :
- A camera trackball to easily move the camera in the scene (explorer
or fly mode).
- Screenshot saving in different file formats (JPG, PNG, EPS...).
- Handling of local (possibly hierarchical) coordinate systems, that
can be moved with the mouse.
- Extendable displacement constraints that can be applied on the
displacement of those frames.
- FPS and axis display, fast drawing of the scene and many convenient
functions.
- Definition and replay of KeyFrame paths.
- Stereo display (if your machine supports it).
- Many simple examples illustrating the different functionalities and
a complete reference documentation.
