OpenGL is a cross-platform, standards-based C programming interface that is widely used for games, animation, CAD/CAM, medical imaging, and other applications that need a framework for visualizing and manipulating complex, three-dimensional shapes. OpenGL programs are highly portable and produce consistent results on any supported platform. Apple's implementation of OpenGL has been optimized for the Macintosh platform and includes a suite of ARM and platform-specific extensions that give developers access to advanced graphics hardware capabilities.
