What is Clutter?
================

Clutter is an open source software library for creating fast, visually
rich and animated graphical user interfaces.

Clutter uses OpenGL (and optionally OpenGL ES) for rendering but with an
API which hides the underlying GL complexity from the developer. The
Clutter API is intended to be easy to use, efficient and flexible.
