Basic CAVE Program Format

        #include <cave_ogl.h>

        void app_data_init(void), app_compute_init(void),
	     app_init_gl(void), app_draw(void),

	 CAVEInit();  
	 CAVEInitApplication(app_init_gl,0);  
	 CAVEDisplay(app_draw,0);       
	 app_compute_init(argc,argv);  
	 while (!CAVEgetbutton(CAVE_ESCKEY))
                app_compute();
         CAVEExit();
        }

	void app_init_gl(void)
	{

	}

	void app_draw(void)
	{
	glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);
