'''WGL''' or '''Wiggle''' is an API between [[OpenGL]] and the windowing system interface of [[Windows]].  WGL is analogous to [[EGL (OpenGL)|EGL]], which is an interface between rendering APIs such as OpenCL, OpenGL, OpenGL ES or OpenVG and the native platform, as well as to [[Core OpenGL|CGL]], which is the [[OS X]] interface to OpenGL.
