== What is Pangolin ==

Pangolin is a lightweight rapid development library for managing OpenGL
display / interaction and video input. At its heart is a simple OpenGl
viewport manager which can help to modularise 3D visualisation without
adding to its complexity, and offers an advanced but intuitive 3D
navigation handler. Pangolin also provides a mechanism for manipulating
program variables through config files and ui integration.

The ethos of Pangolin is to reduce the boilerplate code that normally
gets written to visualise and interact with (typically image and 3D
based) systems, without compromising performance.
