Introduction

LVT is a library designed to simplify the creation of small graphics programs by handling common tasks such as creating a window, handling input, and loading textures from disk. The library is comprised of a windowing toolkit and a scene graph library. While designed to be familliar to users of other scengraph APIs, LVT is not meant to be as full-featured and powerful as other scenegraph APIs such as SGL or OpenInventor. Rather, the emphasis is on simplifying the development of smaller programs. LVT is built on top of the OpenGL graphics API and is portable, as are programs written with LVT. See the Getting Started Guide for more details on how to create graphics programs with the library.

LVT is released under the terms of the MIT License.
