Which is better openGL or GTK+?

Question

GTK+

What will be better for writing a graphical environment? OpenGL or GTK+?

Answer 1

GTK is a graphical toolkit for building typical windowed applications. OpenGL - for building graphic
2D/3D scenes (animations, etc.).

Answer 2

GTK+. For linux, definitely GTK+. Good documentation, a set of useful widgets, and there is the Vala language, created by GNOME for GUI development.

Answer 3

I'm certainly not an expert, but still they are a little for different tasks. If you just need to create a window for the program - then gtk. openGL is more for graphics work. So it all depends on the specific goals.

Answer 4

To write a graphical environment, you can use:

• GTK
  
• QT
  
• SDL
  
• Third-party libraries (of which there are many on github)
  

OpenGL , however, is not quite suitable for this.

OpenGL (Open Graphics Library) is a specification that defines a platform-independent (programming language-independent) programming interface for writing applications that use two-dimensional and three-dimensional computer graphics.

Рекомендую начать с GTK. Как минимум из-за его кроссплатформенности и легкости освоения(относительно QT).
