Overview

What is SciTech MGL?

is an "open source"/free-license multi-platform graphics library designed to help you quickly create interactive 2D and 3D graphics applications.

In depth

A closer look at SciTech MGL

SciTech MGL handles the mundane housekeeping chores of creating graphics applications and allows you to focus on writing high-level code. It provides fast, low-level rasterization of 2D and 3D primitives that can be used for creating computer games, user-interface software, and other real-time graphics applications. SciTech MGL currently supports development under Windows 95/NT or DOS, and can be ported to other platforms and operating systems in as few as 1000 lines of code.

SciTech MGL has full screen OpenGL API support to provide programmers with a 3D API that can scale from software-only (using low-resolution graphics modes), all the way up to full 3D hardware geometry acceleration. SciTech MGL allows developers to create applications using the OpenGL API in either a window or full screen mode (rendering to VGA, VESA VBE or DirectDraw surfaces) in the Windows or DOS environments.

Also included is a "Game Framework" that speeds development of both regular 2D/3D games and OpenGL games. It includes full support for on-the-fly switching between windowed modes, full-screen modes, and available color depths.

Several supplemental libraries are available for SciTech MGL as free downloads with full source code, including a graphical user interface toolkit, a fixed/floating point transform library, 2D and 3D rendering libraries, a 3D modeling library, and a data structure template library.

The small program linked on this site is a download management tool that allows you to select from a list of available components to retrieve via the Internet. The actual size of your SciTech MGL download depends on the components you choose.
