## Historique du projet et usages

Coin is the core Coin3D library, an OpenGL-based C++ 3D graphics library implementing the Open Inventor 2.1 API.

### Historique du projet

The official README says Coin began in 1995 as a scene graph rendering library for VRML 1.0 scenes, initially based on SGI's Qv parser. After several years of VRML-related extensions, the project was redesigned around an Open Inventor-like API and named Coin.

Coin reached Open Inventor 2.1 compatibility in autumn 2000. Its maintainers describe it as an independently developed implementation, not a code-sharing derivative of SGI Open Inventor.

### Historique d'adoption

Coin occupied a practical niche for scientific and engineering visualization software that wanted Open Inventor source compatibility on free software platforms.

The project later became the core of the broader Coin3D family of libraries and continued across Linux, Windows/Cygwin, and macOS development environments.

### Modes d'utilisation

Developers link against Coin as a C++ library for retained-mode scene graphs, Open Inventor compatibility, VRML-related formats, and OpenGL rendering. The package also installs coin-config for build integration.

### Pourquoi les passionnés de paquets s'y intéressent

Coin matters to packagers because it is an ABI-sensitive C++ graphics library. The README documents major/minor/micro compatibility rules and notes that Unix shared libraries use ABI-versioned libCoin names so different major runtimes can coexist.

### Chronologie

- 1995: Project starts as a VRML 1.0 scene graph rendering library.
- 1997: Maintainers begin a fundamental redesign toward an Open Inventor-style API.
- 2000: Coin reaches Open Inventor 2.1 compatibility.
- 2007: Maintainers move toward date-based release cycles while preserving ABI-based versioning.
- 2019: Coin 4.0.0 is released with API changes to improve Open Inventor 2.1 conformance.

### Related projects

- The official README positions Coin alongside other Open Inventor implementations and notes the wider Coin3D library family built around the core Coin library.
