OpenGL++ (OGL++) was intended to offer a selection of routines and standardized data structures to dramatically simplify writing "real" programs using OpenGL. Instead of the programmer having to keep track of the objects in the 3D world and make sure they were culled properly, OpenGL++ would include its own scene graph system and handle many of the basic manipulation duties for the programmer. In addition, OGL++ included a system for modifying the scene graph on the fly, re-arranging it for added performance.
Much of OGL++ was a combination of ideas from earlier SGI projects in the same vein, namely Open Inventor which offered ease-of-use, and OpenGL Performer which split off from Inventor to deliver a system that re-arranged scene graphs for increased performance. It was later realized that there was no reason the two couldn't be merged, offering both rapid development and high performance.
SGI had already released one effort to merge the functionality of these two as Cosmo 3D. When they then started the OGL++ effort, they dropped development of Cosmo3D when it had just reached a beta release, positioning the "front end" package, Cosmo Code, as a VRML authoring tool. OGL++ was essentially a cleaned up and more flexible version of Cosmo, but it is not clear how closely related the two packages are, as OGL++ was never released. Much of the OGL++ effort appears to have been aimed at defining a flexible scene graph that was more easily modifiable than the one in Cosmo, work which would eventually evolve into an important part of the Fahrenheit effort.
In the end, there is nothing to show for any of these efforts. Parnerships with Sun Microsystems, Intel and IBM and Microsoft all led to nothing as SGI jumped from project to project. In retrospect, it is not entirely clear what happened, but the history alone appears to suggest that SGI was simply unwilling to "give up the family jewels", or was perhaps simply floating a series of trial balloons. One way or another, the scene graph concept was bounced from project to project, and eventually died in 2000 when Fahrenheit was killed.
Today, no such standardized scene graph exists, and SGI has all but exited the API world. SGI has released the earlier Open Inventor code into open source, but the source to OGL++ seems to be long gone.
