GL Studio 4 Tutorial Screenshot

In May 2000, DiSTI released a revolutionary new toolkit for graphical interface development called GL Studio. It was the first toolkit of its kind to apply the power of object-oriented C++ code generation to the challenges of graphical interface application development and it quickly gained traction within the military simulation and training community.

Eight years later, GL Studio is now the gold standard for projects demanding rapid development of high performance graphical interfaces produced in human readable object-oriented coding formats. From the small niche community of military simulation and training, GL Studio is now being used by major manufacturers of automobiles, aircraft, space vehicles, and medical equipment for uses ranging from prototyping to embedded safety critical displays. Success stems from a loyal customer base built from a corporate mantra to always do what is right for the customer and to deliver products that meet their demands. Many of our customers have been users of GL Studio since version 1.0 and often recommend us to other colleagues and professionals.

The next major release of the GL Studio toolkit is here and features numerous product enhancements driven, as always, by customer requests.
