# The graphics/gle port

## gle-3.0.4p4 – OpenGL Extrusion library

## Description

    The GLE Tubing and Extrusion Library is a graphics application
    programming interface (API). The library consists of a number of
    "C" language subroutines for drawing tubing and extrusions. It is
    a very fast implementation of these shapes, outperforming all other
    implementations, most by orders of magnitude.  The library is
    distributed in source code form, in a package that includes
    documentation, a VRML proposal, Makefiles, and full source code and
    header files. It uses the OpenGL (TM) programming API to perform
    the actual drawing of the tubing and extrusions.

    GLE is designed for and maintained on the Linux operating system,
    and is known to run on other Unix operating systems such as AIX,
    IRIX, Ultrix and HPUX with OpenGL or Mesa. GLE is also known to run
    on IBM OS/2 Warp, Apple Macintosh OS9, and Microsoft Windows NT and
    has been used to develop screen-savers for some of these popular
    PC operating systems.
