I am a bit confused now. This page seems to use GLUT for many examples: http://wiki.freepascal.org/OpenGL_Tutorial is it out of date? I would like to easily draw shapes like a torus/sphere/cone etc., and also put some rotatable text in a 3D image for a Lazarus project on a Windows/Mac/Linux systems. This seems to be easily done with GLUT, but will require the installation of a glut32.dll or a freeglut dll file, is that true? Looking forward to your recommendations. -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
