openFrameworks is an open source C++ toolkit designed to assist the creative process by providing a simple and intuitive framework for experimentation.

openFrameworks 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.
