3-d animation in C++

Question

I am doing a scientific project in C++ and I need to draw simple animated 3-d images of moving atomic groups. What is a good and convenient graphics library to do that? Some general remarks are also appreciated. I work in Linux.

Thank you in advance, Roman

OpenGL of course,

one library you could use is glut for that.
