'''OpenGL User Interface Library''' ('''GLUI''') is a [[C++]] [[user interface]] library based on the [[OpenGL Utility Toolkit]] (GLUT) which provides [[Widget (GUI)|widgets]] such as buttons, checkboxes, radio buttons, and spinners to OpenGL applications.<ref name="LNCS1">{{cite journal|title=The Experimental Robotics Framework|first1=João|last1=Xavier|first2=Helder|last2=Araújo|access-date=8 July 2018|journal=Lecture Notes in computer Science|volume=5325|url=https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-540-89076-8_22|url-access=limited}}</ref> It is window- and operating system independent, relying on GLUT to handle all system-dependent issues, such as window and mouse management.<ref name="X">{{cite web|url=https://minerva.leeds.ac.uk/bbcswebdav/orgs/SCH_Computing/FYProj/reports/0203/Mohmud.pdf|title=Security Models and Graphical Representation of Security |access-date=8 July 2018|first=Afzul|last=Mohmud|dead-url=no|id=2.3.2.1 OpenGL Toolkits|archive-date=8 July 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180708153747/https://minerva.leeds.ac.uk/bbcswebdav/orgs/SCH_Computing/FYProj/reports/0203/Mohmud.pdf}}</ref>
It lacks the features of a more full-fledged GUI toolkit such as [[Qt (toolkit)|Qt]], [[wxWidgets]] or [[FLTK]], but is easy to use<ref name="Cuni"/> and has a very small footprint. A research or demonstration program that originally only uses GLUT can be given a useful control panel using GLUI in a short time, even by someone new to the toolkit.
It was first written by Paul Rademacher to help him with his academic work. Version 2.2 was created and maintained by Nigel Stewart and the software is not maintained as a community edition.<ref name="repo"/>
The toolkit only gives limited control over fonts and colors.<ref name="Cuni">{{cite web|url=http://www-h.eng.cam.ac.uk/help/tpl/graphics/using_glui.html|access-date=8 July 2018|title=Using GLUI|website=University of Cambridge Computing Department}}</ref>
