DESCRIPTION:

ffi-opengl is an autogenerated ruby FFI interface towards OpenGL libraries (GL, GLU, GLUT). The FFI layer ensures compatibility among all Ruby implementation that support it. At the moment, this means that you can run the same ffi-opengl script with MRI Ruby and JRuby.

ffi-opengl API aims to be a 1:1 tranposition of the OpenGL C API: don’t expect idiomatic ruby inside!

FEATURES/PROBLEMS:

  • Full [auto-generated] wrap of the OpenGL libraries.

  • JRuby 1.3.0 compatible.

  • No need of opengl development libraries.

  • No compilation needed (once you have ruby-ffi installed or you are using JRuby).

  • Not yet tested on windows platform.

SYNOPSIS:

See the example in ‘examples/’ folder. For the API documentation please refer to OpenGL reference pages.

REQUIREMENTS:

  • ffi >= 0.3.0

  • OpenGL libraries >= 1.2
