'''GLUI''' is a [[GLUT]]-based [[C++]] [[user interface]] library which provides controls such as buttons, checkboxes, radio buttons, and spinners to OpenGL applications. It is window- and operating system independent, relying on GLUT to handle all system-dependent issues, such as window and mouse management.

It lacks the features of a more full-fledged GUI toolkit such as [[Qt (toolkit)|Qt]], [[wxWidgets]], or [[FLTK]], but it has a very small footprint and is extremely easy to use {{citation needed}}. A research or demonstration program using only GLUT can be modified in just a couple of hours, by someone new to the toolkit, to have a useful control panel. Weaknesses include the lack of a file chooser (perhaps the most frustrating omission) and mediocre responsiveness.
