| Agar is a toolkit for graphical applications. It is not a large monolithic library that will take over your application, instead it provides a set of components organized into compact and integration-friendly libraries implementing specific features. The libraries are stable, well-maintained and in constant development since 2002. Agar is highly portable and is being used under many different platforms. |

General Features |
Object-Oriented Design:
| • |
Abstraction of the rendering API. Currently only OpenGL is supported. |
| • |
An efficient representation of polyhedral models using a modified halfedge method. |
| • |
Hierarchical structures allowing efficient view-frustum culling for both indoor and outdoor environments as well as physics calculations. |
| • |
Ideal object representations such as smooth surfaces (with suitable polygonal approximations always available for query). |
| • |
The ability to query geometrical information efficiently at any time.
The Agar-SG project is focused solely on geometry and graphics. It does not implement any type of logic system or physical simulation, although its structures were designed to accomodate common physics algorithms. |
