OpenGL Tutorials

This is a series of tutorials on using OpenGL to do graphical rendering. The code for each tutorial is found in the Tut* directories. The code alone is not enough information to understand what is going on. The actual documentation is available in several forms.

The HTML form of the documentation can be found on: https://paroj.github.io/gltut/

The License.txt file contains the licensing information for the materials distributed in these tutorials.

In case you prefer Java to C++, Giuseppe Barbieri created a Java port here.

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/w3c/dom/events/CustomEvent

Some versions of fop will not work correctly. Installing 2.6 from here https://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/download.html fixes it.
