Version 1 (released 1995, Macintosh only) was written by David Brainard, with some help from others and support from an NSF ILI grant awarded to David Brainard. Version 2 (released 1996 for Macintosh and 2000 for Windows) was written by David Brainard and Denis Pelli, incorporating Denis Pelli's ""VideoToolbox"", with help from others. In particular, Mei Zhang, Elliot Waldron and Allen Ingling contributed heavily to the first working version for Windows. Version 2.5 for Windows and initial development of the ""OpenGL"" Version (now called Version 3) were Allen Ingling's work, supported by core grant NEI P30 EY013079. Mario Kleiner then made extensive improvements to bring Version 3 to its current state. Richard Murray contributed the direct interface to ""OpenGL"" calls (MOGL). Tobias Wolf contributed the automatic documentation generator that generates our online function reference.
