Ada OpenGL Framework
The Ada-OpenGL framework contains an OpenGL header conversion for Ada with many functions and a simple way to create opengl contexts. In windows it uses the native win32 interface, in 1 and FreeBSD the X11 is used through Xlib. The windows code was used in porting the Lumen framework to windows.
The framework contains an event based gui library for opengl. For font rendering FreeType is used. All texts and iputs are stored in UTF-8 format. At the moment only one gui thema is implemented.
