<h1>The OpenGL Extension Wrangler Library</h1>

<!-- end header.html -->


<p>
The OpenGL Extension Wrangler Library (GLEW) is a cross-platform
open-source C/C++ extension loading library.  GLEW provides efficient
run-time mechanisms for determining which OpenGL extensions are
supported on the target platform.  OpenGL core and extension
functionality is exposed in a single header file.  GLEW has been
tested on a variety of operating systems, including Windows, Linux,
Mac OS X, FreeBSD, Irix, and Solaris.
