-===== GroIMP =====
+GroIMP is a graph based 3D modelling platform that supports several plugins (see: [[https://plugins.grogra.de]]) and can be used to create different kinds of models. While it is commonly used trough the RGG plugin it is also possible to create e.g. [[user-guide:additional_interfaces#greenlab| GreenLab]] projects or only UI based 3D models.
 ===== RGG (Plugin) =====
+The RGG plugin, describes a simplified integration of the XL programming language into the platform GroIMP by doing several parts implicitly.
+This allows the user  e.g to create XL code without creating a surrounding class or to use default libraries without importing them. Moreover the RGG plugin handles large parts of the graph management by it self. You can find some introduction in the tutorial: [[tutorials:rgg-code-structure|RGG Code structure introduction]]
