libQGLViewer: a 3D visualization library

libQGLViewer is a library that provides tools to efficiently create new 3D viewers. Simple and common actions such as moving the camera with the mouse, saving snapshots or selecting objects are not available in standard APIs, and libQGLViewer fills this gap. It merges in a unified and complete framework the tools that every one used to develop individually. Creating a new 3D viewer now requires 20 lines of cut-pasted code and 5 minutes. libQGLViewer is distributed under the GPL licence since January 2003, and several hundreds of downloads are recorded each month (http://artis.imag.fr/Software/QGLViewer/ ).
