glvertex

The glVertex library emulates the legacy OpenGL API, which has been deprecated in OpenGL core profiles. It is also a convenience wrapper around GLSL shaders, VBOs and FBOs.

Features

Header-only C++ library
Easy to install and use
Simple creation of vertex buffer objects (VBOs) and GLSL shaders
Brings back the key concepts of the fixed-function pipeline
Legacy features are mapped to the fast paths available in the OpenGL core profile
For rapid prototyping and teaching purposes
For easy development of efficient OpenGL rendering code
Specification of vertices and attributes in immediate mode fashion
Specification of perspective, modeling and viewing matrices in immediate mode fashion
Matrix stack operations in immediate mode fashion
Used at the Georg-Simon Ohm University of Applied Sciences in Nuremberg for teaching computer graphics courses
