+*OpenGL Mathematics (GLM) is a header only C++ mathematics library for graphics software based on the [OpenGL Shading Language (GLSL) specifications](https://www.opengl.org/registry/doc/GLSLangSpec.4.50.diff.pdf).
|
|
|
+*GLM provides classes and functions designed and implemented with the same naming conventions and functionalities than GLSL so that anyone who knows GLSL, can use GLM as well in C++.
|
|
|
+*This project isn't limited to GLSL features. An extension system, based on the GLSL extension conventions, provides extended capabilities: matrix transformations, quaternions, data packing, random numbers, noise, etc...
|
|
|
+*This library works perfectly with OpenGL but it also ensures interoperability with other third party libraries and SDK. It is a good candidate for software rendering (raytracing / rasterisation), image processing, physic simulations and any development context that requires a simple and convenient mathematics library.
|
|
|
+*GLM is written in C++98 but can take advantage of C++11 when supported by the compiler. It is a platform independent library with no dependence and it officially supports the following compilers:
|
|
|
+- Apple Clang 4.0 and higher
|
|
|
+- GCC 4.2 and higher
|
|
|
+- Intel C++ Composer XE 2013 and higher
|
|
|
+- LLVM 3.0 and higher
|
|
|
+- Visual C++ 2010 and higher
|
|
|
+- CUDA 4.0 and higher (experimental)
|
|
|
+- Any conform C++98 or C++11 compiler
|
|
|
+*For more information about GLM, please have a look at the manual and the API reference documentation.
