The GLUT for Markov chain Monte Carlo (Gf(MC) 2 ) library provides a system for visual- izing the variables involved in Markov chain Monte Carlo. It is designed to provide a relatively simple user interface that allows the management of multiple windows which provide di®erent views of the variables involved in the simulation. It is written in C/C++. The window manage- ment system uses calls to Mark Kilgaard’s OpenGL Utility Toolkit (GLUT). GLUT is almost platform independent, so the features of Gf(MC) 2 should work in almost the same way across di®erent platforms (e.g., Macintosh, Windows, Linux, etc.).

This document describes the features available to the user of an application that draws upon the Gf(MC) 2 library. The table of contents provides a good overview of those features. A separate document will be prepared for developers interested in incorporating the Gf(MC) 2 library into their own software.
