ProDev WorkShop
contains the core software development tools; MegaDev contains
advanced features for the development of C and C++ applications. These
powerful, highly visual tools help you understand your program's structure and
operation so that you can diagnose very difficult, traditionally time-
consuming problems in a short amount of time.
Note: In the past, the software development environment was called CASEVision;
that name has been replaced by Developer Magic. In addition to ProDev WorkShop
and MegaDev, the Developer Magic environment includes ProMPF--a special module
for multi-process Fortran programming--and IDO (IRIX Development Option)--the
base compiler and libraries. Some of the documentation may still use the
CASEVision name; those documents will be updated soon.

This guide is written for developers of software products used on Silicon
Graphics® workstations, including software engineers, graphical user interface
designers, human factors specialists, and others involved in the design
process. It contains recommended guidelines to help you design products that
are consistent with other applications and that integrate seamlessly into the
Indigo Magic Desktop. The result of this consistency and integration is that
your products work the way end users expect them to work; consequently, end
users find your products easier to learn and use. This guide provides informa-
tion on how to design user interfaces for Silicon Graphics applications, along
with specific examples of what is and isn't appropriate and why. Note that the
guidelines discussed in this book are just that--guidelines, not rules;
they're designed to apply to the majority of applications, but there will
certainly be anomalous applications for which these guidelines don't make
sense.

The
OpenGL
graphics system is a software interface to graphics hardware. (The
GL stands for Graphics Library.) It allows you to create interactive programs
that produce color images of moving three-dimensional objects. With OpenGL,
you can control computer-graphics technology to produce realistic pictures or
ones that depart from reality in imaginative ways. This guide explains how to
program with the OpenGL graphics system to deliver the visual effect you want.

OpenGL
(GL for Graphics Library) is a software interface to graphics hardware.
This interface consists of several hundred functions that allow you, a
graphics programmer, to specify the objects and operations needed to produce
high-quality color images of three-dimensional objects. Many of these
functions are actually simple variations of each other, so in reality there
are only 120 substantially different functions.
As complements to the core set of OpenGL functions, the OpenGL Utility Library
(GLU) and the OpenGL Extension to the X Window System (GLX) provide useful
supporting features. This manual explains what all these functions do.
