        (https://github.com/stevenlovegrove/Pangolin).

        Pangolin is a lightweight portable rapid development library for managing 
        OpenGL display / interaction and abstracting 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, and has a flexible real-time plotter for visualising 
        graphical data."""
