About **apitrace**
==================

**apitrace** consists of a set of tools to:

* trace OpenGL, OpenGL ES, Direct3D, and DirectDraw APIs calls to a file;

* replay OpenGL and OpenGL ES calls from a file;

* inspect OpenGL state at any call while retracing;

* visualize and edit trace files.

See the [apitrace homepage](http://apitrace.github.io/) for more details.


Obtaining **apitrace**
======================

To obtain apitrace either [download the latest
binaries](http://apitrace.github.io/#download) for your platform if available,
or follow [these instructions](docs/INSTALL.markdown) to build and install it
yourself.

On 64bits Linux and Windows platforms you'll need apitrace binaries that match
the architecture (32bits or 64bits) of the application being traced.
