visualisation with freeglut, opengl

[nvinhphu]

Hello everyone,

I am writing a simulation program in C++. The data includes a set of
spheres packing in a 3D box. So, I have the coordinates and the radius
of the spheres.

My question is how to visualize them (as colored solid spheres) using
a easy-to-use C++ library? I've heard of freeglut, opengl but could
not find any concrete tutorial to get me on the topic.

I would deeply appreciate your help. Concrete help with illustrated
code segment is more than great.

For the moment, I do not need realtime visualization. I just need to
do: given a set of particles, visualize them so see what they look
like.

Many thanks.

I don't think that the fact that your program is written in C++ and that
you want to use a library with C++ (or C) bindings justifies posting
here. Please consider 'comp.graphics.*' hierarchy. OpenGL is there
somewhere, BTW.

Not only that, but

would give more then enough for some time
