Hello, World! example

This is a very short (and incomplete) introduction to general libUFO use.

What is libUFO

libUFO is a toolkit for programmers who want to create a graphical user interface (now referred as GUI) for their application.

LibUFO allows to create GUIs for OpenGL (DirectX is being worked on).

You can use libUFO for a stand-alone app (using intregrated video drivers for X11, Win and SDL) or integrate it into your existing OpenGL application (see Integrating into existing applications).
