Coin is a 3D graphics library with a C++ Application Programming Interface based on the Open Inventor 2.1 API. Open Inventor, for those who are not familiar with it, is an OpenGL-based, retain-mode, 3D model scene-graph rendering and interaction library, which has become the de facto standard graphics library for 3D visualization and visual simulation software in the scientific and engineering community. Comment regarding the existing PR for graphics/inventor: Coin is based on the Open Inventor 2.1 API and one of its main design goals is as much compatibility to SGI's Inventor as possible. Therefore, I am very much in favour of *closing* PR ports/24736 (graphics/inventor). That port was submitted by myself quite some time ago. It is IMHO a Good Thing(tm) if we just go with the Coin library instead of SGI's Inventor. It is source code compatible, its development is much more alive, it has better error checking, and it feels better. :) How-To-Repeat: n/a
