How to use GLE Tubing in Java

Hi, I am going to draw a tube using OpenGL, the tube is similar to this , I searched online and found GLE Tubing and Extrusion could accomplish that. Does anyone have an example about it? Could you explain the relationship between GLE and OpenGL?

Hi

GLE Tubing and Extrusion builds the mesh and displays them with OpenGL. In my humble opinion, you would waste a lot less time in porting the code to Java rather than making a binding to this library, it depends on your skills.

Its source code is under GPL v2 which makes it legally unsuitable for a commercial proprietary software.

Is there a binding between GLE and Java? What is it?

There is no such binding but this library uses Swig (!= Swing), there is a script using Swig in the source code, maybe it's possible to generate a Java binding.
