These bindings are defined in NISTIR 6134 "A Fortran 90 Interface for OpenGL: Revised January 1998", which is available at the web site below. I am pleased to announce the availability of f90gl version 1.1, a public domain implementation of the OpenGL Fortran 90 bindings. This version implements the interface for OpenGL 1.1 (or Mesa), GLU 1.2, GLUT 3.6 and several OpenGL extensions. It supports most Unix workstations and Windows 95/NT. OpenGL is a software interface for applications to generate interactive 2D and 3D computer graphics. OpenGL is designed to be independent of operating system, window system, and hardware operations, and is supported by many vendors. The OpenGL Fortran 90 bindings represents a significant development for scientific visualization in the Fortran community. Until now there has never been an industry standard for generating graphics from Fortran programs; instead, only proprietary libraries that support a limited number of systems have been available. With the new bindings, a Fortran programmer can write standard-conforming graphics applications that will be portable over most computing platforms. More information and the f90gl package are available at the f90gl web page. http://math.nist.gov/f90gl - -- Bill William F.
