    OpenGL is a library for using 3D graphics. It is cross-platform and relatively simple, at least compared to Direct3D. I don't think I really need to go into details on the usefulness of 3D graphics, so I'll be brief: OpenGL is used a lot.

    You can read a tutorial on using OpenGL with C or C++ here: http://nehe.gamedev.net.

    OpenGl is a graphics API. We use it to manipulate CAD geometry on the screen. It's a little misleading to imply that it's use is strictyl 3d. It works well with 2d modeling also.
