What Does GLUT Stand For?

GLUT stands for OpenGL Utility Toolkit

GLUT, or OpenGL Utility Toolkit, is a library designed to facilitate the management of OpenGL windows and handle user input across various operating systems. It provides a simplified interface for creating and manipulating windows, handling events such as keyboard and mouse input, and managing menus. GLUT is particularly useful for developers looking to create portable OpenGL applications without delving into the complexities of platform-specific windowing systems.
