CSharpGL 1.0.6.5

This package has no dependencies.

# CSharpGL
CSharpGL is a pure C# project that allows for modern OpenGL rendering in an Object-Oriented way.
It meets common requirements in OpenGL rendering such as:
* modern rendering using GLSL shaders and vertex buffer objects;
* a winform control that wraps initialization of creating OpenGL context;
* structs support setting values for uniform variables in GLSL shader;
* OpenGL state switch wrappers;
* picking primitives in multiple vertex buffer objects;
* rendering text using build-in GLText object in 3D space world or UI(window space);
* a scene editor;
* different kinds of demonstrations to use CSharpGL.
