| Text: | The IRIS Performer Getting Started guide introduces the most important concepts and classes in the IRIS Performer libraries. A full explanation of all Performer classes is in the IRIS Performer Programmer's Guide. Use the IRIS Performer Getting Started guide to quick-start your programming using the IRIS Performer API. IRIS Performer provides a programming interface (with ANSI C and C++ bindings) for creating real- time graphics applications and offers high-performance, multiprocessed rendering in an easy-to-use 3D graphics toolkit. IRIS Performer interfaces to both the IRIS Graphics Library (also known as IRIS GL) and the OpenGL graphics library; these libraries combine with the IRIX operating system to form the foundation of a powerful suite of tools and features or create real-time 3D graphics applications on Silicon Graphics systems. |
