@section main_intro Introduction
|
||
|
||
GLFW is a free, Open Source, multi-platform library for OpenGL, OpenGL ES and
|
||
Vulkan application development. It provides a simple, platform-independent API
|
||
for creating windows, contexts and surfaces, reading input, handling events, etc.
|
||
|
||
See @ref news_32 for release highlights or the
|
||
[version history](http://www.glfw.org/changelog.html) for details.
|
||
|
||
@ref quick_guide is a guide for those new to GLFW. It takes you through how to
|
||
write a small but complete program. For people coming from GLFW 2, @ref
|
||
moving_guide explains what has changed and how to update existing code to use
|
||
the new API.
|
||
|
||
There are guides for each of the various areas of the API.
|
||
|
||
- @ref intro_guide – initialization, error handling and high-level design
|
||
- @ref window_guide – creating and working with windows and framebuffers
|
||
- @ref context_guide – working with OpenGL and OpenGL ES contexts
|
||
- @ref monitor_guide – enumerating and working with monitors and video modes
|
||
- @ref input_guide – receiving events, polling and processing input
|
||
|
||
Once you have written a program, see @ref compile_guide and @ref build_guide.
|
||
|
||
The [reference documentation](modules.html) provides more detailed information
|
||
about specific functions.
|
||
|
||
There is a section on @ref guarantees_limitations for pointer lifetimes,
|
||
reentrancy, thread safety, event order and backward and forward compatibility.
|
||
|
||
The @ref vulkan_guide guide fills in the gaps for how to use Vulkan with GLFW.
|
||
|
||
The @ref rift_guide fills in the gaps for how to use LibOVR with GLFW.
|
||
|
||
The [FAQ](http://www.glfw.org/faq.html) answers many common questions about the
|
||
design, implementation and use of GLFW.
|
||
|
||
Finally, the @ref compat_guide guide explains what APIs, standards and protocols
|
||
GLFW uses and what happens when they are not present on a given machine.
|
||

This documentation was generated with Doxygen. The sources for it are available
|
||
in both the [source distribution](http://www.glfw.org/download.html) and
