<divclass="textblock"><p>OpenGL Mathematics (GLM) is a header only C++ mathematics library for graphics software based on the OpenGL Shading Language (GLSL) specification.</p>
<p>GLM provides classes and functions designed and implemented with the same naming conventions and functionalities than GLSL so that when a programmer knows GLSL, he knows GLM as well which makes it really easy to use.</p>
<p>This project isn't limited to GLSL features. An extension system, based on the GLSL extension conventions, provides extended capabilities: matrix transformations, quaternions, half-based types, random numbers, procedural noise functions, etc...</p>
<p>This library works perfectly with OpenGL but it also ensures interoperability with third party libraries and SDKs. It is a good candidate for software rendering (Raytracing / Rasterisation), image processing, physic simulations and any context that requires a simple and convenient mathematics library.</p>
<p>GLM is written in C++98 but can take advantage of C++11 when supported by the compiler. It is a platform independent library with no dependence and officially supports the following compilers:</p>
<dlclass="note"><dt><b>Note:</b></dt><dd>The Doxygen-generated documentation will often state that a type or function is defined in a namespace that is a child of the <aclass="el"href="">glm </a> namespace. Please ignore this; All publicly available types and functions can be accessed as a direct children of the glm namespace.</dd></dl>
