Visualization Library - Design Goals

Design Goals

Visualization Library was designed to:

  1. Implement an intuitive, thin and portable C++ wrapper around OpenGL 4.
  2. Be fully compatible with older versions of OpenGL (1.x, 2.x and 3.x).
  3. Deliver the features and performances of modern GPUs also to non-gaming applications, like virtual reality, scientific and medical visualization, simulators, training and so on.
  4. Provide a generic and fine-grained framework that can be used to assemble customized rendering techniques.
  5. Avoid the architectural limitations of the uber-scene-graph paradigm.
  6. Give to the programmer as much control as possible while taking care of the dirty details.
