    PortableGL

    PortableGL

    An implementation of OpenGL 3.x-ish in clean C

    PortableGL is a single-header, software-only implementation of a subset of OpenGL (specifically the GL 2.1 pipeline), designed to run entirely on the CPU. This lightweight graphics library allows OpenGL-style rendering without GPU acceleration, making it ideal for educational use, debugging, embedded systems, and retro-style software rendering. Because it mirrors OpenGL syntax and design, it can act as a drop-in CPU renderer for testing or deploying 3D graphics on platforms without GPU support.

    Agar

    Agar

    Cross Platform GUI Toolkit

    ...It takes advantage of texture and GPU acceleration wherever available. Agar can also attach to an existing framebuffer, SDL or OpenGL context and operate as a self-contained window-manager. It includes a standard library of general-purpose widgets, and is also designed to be extended externally. New widgets can be implemented as part of an application or library. Complex user interface elements can be realized often in few lines of code. Agar is also extensible at the low-level. The low-level API is documented such that modular drivers can be written which enable Agar applications to work seamlessly under many platforms graphics systems without any change at the application level.

    ResIL

    Resilient Image Library - successor to DevIL

    ResIL is a library to open, store and manipulate images, with a focus on security. ResIL offers a simple API for these operations. ResIL also receives frequent updates to keep up with the evolution of the supported file formats. It started as a fork of DevIL but much of the code base has actually been rewritten to enhance stability. Support for webp and heic has been added. ResIL focuses on robust decoding so that even partially corrupted images can be displayed without crashes or exceptions.
