API per scrivere applicazioni che producono computer grafica 2D e 3D
OpenGL is a software tool that lets programs create and display 2D and 3D graphics by communicating directly with your computer's graphics processor. It matters because it enables fast, efficient rendering of graphics across different computers and operating systems, making it widely useful for everything from video games to professional visualization software.

OpenGL (Open Graphics Library) è una specifica che definisce una API per più linguaggi e per più piattaforme per scrivere applicazioni che producono computer grafica 3D. L'interfaccia consiste in circa 250 diverse chiamate di funzione che si possono usare per disegnare complesse scene tridimensionali a partire da semplici primitive. Sviluppato nel 1992 dalla Silicon Graphics Inc., è ampiamente usato nell'industria dei videogiochi (nella quale compete con DirectX su Microsoft Windows), per applicazioni di CAD, realtà virtuale, e CAE. È lo standard de facto per la computer grafica 3D in ambiente Unix.
