About:
GLUI is a C++ user interface library built on OpenGL. It provides a simple and intuitive API for creating buttons, sliders, checkboxes, and other controls for OpenGL applications. Unlike complex toolkits, GLUI is lightweight and tightly integrated with OpenGL for immediate mode style rendering.
Key Features:
  • Native OpenGL integration
  • Immediate mode style rendering
  • Simple C++ API
  • Cross-platform support
Use Cases:
  • Adding control panels to scientific visualization apps
  • Creating interfaces for 3D modeling tools
  • Prototyping OpenGL applications
Alternatives:
  • Dear ImGui – More modern and actively maintained, but GLUI offers a distinct look and simpler integration for legacy OpenGL contexts.
  • FLTK – A full windowing toolkit, whereas GLUI is specifically designed to overlay controls on an OpenGL canvas.
