What is EWOL?                               {#ewol_mainpage_what}
=============

EWOL, or Edn Widget OpenGl Layer, is a multi-platform library for creating graphical user interfaces in OpenGL. Offering a complete set of widgets.

Where can I use it?                         {#ewol_mainpage_where}
===================

Everywhere! EWOL is cross-platform devolopped to support bases OS:
- Linux (X11) (mouse)
- Windows (mouse) (build on linux...)
- MacOs (mouse)
- Android (mouse + touch)
- IOs (touch)

What languages are supported?                   {#ewol_mainpage_language}
=============================

EWOL is written in C++ and is not (for now) supported for other languages.


Are there any licensing restrictions?           {#ewol_mainpage_restriction}
=====================================

EWOL is **FREE software** and _all sub-library are FREE and staticly linkable !!!_

That allow you to use it for every program you want, including those developing proprietary software, without any license fees or royalties.

The static support is important for some platform like IOs, and this limit the external library use at some license like:
- BSD*
- MIT
- APPACHE-2
- PNG
- ZLIB

This exclude the classical extern library with licence:
- L-GPL
- GPL
