Coin is a high-level 3D graphics toolkit for developing cross-platform
|
|
real-time 3D visualization and visual simulation software.
|
|
|
|
Coin is built on OpenGL and uses scene graph data structures to render
|
|
3D graphics in real-time. Basic import, rendering, and interaction
|
|
with a 3D object can be implemented in just a few lines of code, and
|
|
programmer efficiency is greatly increased compared with programming
|
|
directly with OpenGL. OpenGL code and Coin code can co-exist in the
|
|
same application, which makes gradual migration from OpenGL to Coin
|
|
possible.
|
|
|
|
Coin is fully compatible with SGI Open Inventor 2.1, the de facto
|
|
standard for 3D visualization and visual simulation software in the
|
|
scientific and engineering community. Additional features in Coin
|
|
include VRML97 support, 3D sound, 3D textures, and parallel rendering
|
|
on multiple processors.
