Is there any 3D visualization library or toolkit for C? (No C++ please!)

Question

Basically I'm interested in knowing if there exists any openGL 3D visualization toolkit for C for scientific uses?

For what platform? Linux, Windows, Mobile? – whitneyland Sep 07 '11 at 13:06 — whitneyland, Sep 07 '11 at 13:06
Linux, BSD, or any *nix. Free, opensource preferred. – chutsu Sep 07 '11 at 15:04 — chutsu, Sep 07 '11 at 15:04

I don't know about any straight forward libraries, but Vis5D+ ist written in C, iirc. Maybe you can incorporate that into your project.

Edit: Oh, and of course IBM's DX is also there, but also not a library.

Just want to point out, in case anyone ever tries this again, that the IMB DX link above does nothing, and the last release of Vis5D+ was in 2001. – levitopher Dec 01 '17 at 03:06

Well, currently I'm using Matlab in combination with C by using the MEX interface. It allows me to write performant code in C (where Matlab code only is often too slow for real scientific computing) and visualize it with Matlab.

Check it out!
