OpenGL (Open Graphics Library) is a cross-language, cross-platform application programming interface (API) for rendering 2D and 3D vector graphics. The API is typically used to interact with a graphics processing unit (GPU), to achieve hardware-accelerated rendering.
OpenGL is a software tool that lets programs create and display 2D and 3D graphics by communicating directly with your computer's graphics processor. It matters because it enables fast, efficient rendering of graphics across different computers and operating systems, making it widely useful for everything from video games to professional visualization software.
