GtkGLAreaSharp:NeHe
===================

This is the main page for the documentation regarding the Neon Helium OpenGL demos written using the [GtkGLSharp](/GtkGLAreaSharp) library.

I've made a couple of changes given the fact that GTK+ is an event-driven system that does not require separate polling interface. These demos do not currently implement the full-screen features of the original demos, which can be found on the [NeHe web page](http://nehe.gamedev.net/)

You can find the lesson code (which is well documented) in subversion: [http://anonsvn.mono-project.com/viewvc/trunk/gtkglarea-sharp/examples/NeHe/Lessons/](http://anonsvn.mono-project.com/viewvc/trunk/gtkglarea-sharp/examples/NeHe/Lessons/)

This is the most simple demo of [GtkGLAreaSharp](/GtkGLAreaSharp). It doesn't even draw anything. It is an example of creating a drawing area and will be very useful for anyone who wants to get started developing with this widget. All of the following tutorials are based on this simple example.
