OpenFrameworks Overview
openFrameworks is an open source C++ toolkit designed to assist the creative process by providing a simple and intuitive framework for experimentation. The toolkit is designed to work as a general purpose glue, and wraps together several commonly used libraries, including:
- OpenGL, GLEW, GLUT, libtess2 and cairo for graphics - rtAudio, PortAudio, OpenAL and Kiss FFT or FMOD for audio input, output and analysis - FreeType for fonts - FreeImage for image saving and loading - Quicktime, GStreamer and videoInput for video playback and grabbing - Poco for a variety of utilities - OpenCV for computer vision - Assimp for 3D model loading
The code is written to be massively cross-compatible. Right now we support five operating systems (Windows, OSX, Linux, iOS, Android) and four IDEs (XCode, Code::Blocks, and Visual Studio and Eclipse). The API is designed to be minimal and easy to grasp.
Simply put, openFrameworks is a tool that makes it much easier to make things with code. We find it super useful, and we hope you do too.
