openFrameworks is an open source C++ library designed to assist the creative process by providing a simple and intuitive framework for experimentation.
The openFrameworks library is designed to work as a general purpose glue, and wraps together several commonly used libraries under a tidy interface: openGL for graphics, rtAudio for audio input and output, freeType for fonts,freeImage for image input and output, quicktime for video playing and sequence grabbing.
The code is written to be both cross platform (PC, Mac, Linux, iPhone) and cross compiler. Simply put, openFrameworks is a tool that makes it much easier to make things via code. We find it super useful, and we hope you do too.
Detailed installation instructions can be found here.
