The SoWin^{( C++ | .NET )} component classes are a “class-for-class” equivalent of the SoXt^{( C++ )} X Windows Component library, adapted to the unique requirements and facilities of the Windows environment. Like SoXt^{( C++ )}, SoWin^{( C++ | .NET )} classes include an OpenGL drawing area, an Open Inventor render area that manages a scene graph, and Open Inventor viewers that add lights, cameras, and interactivity to a scene. SoWin^{( C++ | .NET )} classes can be used within any application framework. Read Section 18.3, “Microsoft Windows” for more details about the SoWin^{( C++ | .NET )} component classes.

The SoQt^{( C++ )} component classes are a “class-for-class” equivalent of the SoXt^{( C++ )} X Windows Component

library, adapted to the unique requirements and facilities of the Qt environment. Qt is a user interface toolkit that, like Open Inventor, can be used on Unix and Windows. Like SoXt^{( C++ )}, SoQt^{( C++ )} classes include an OpenGL drawing area, an Open Inventor render area that manages a scene graph, and Open Inventor viewers that add lights, cameras, and interactivity to a scene. Read Section 18.4, “Qt” for more details about the SoQt^{( C++ )} component classes.
