openFrameworks is geared at "Creative Coding" (creative and intuitive programming) open source - Toolkit in C ++ written and run on a variety of operating systems. In addition to contributions from a large number of members of the openFrameworks community , the project is maintained by Zachary Lieberman, Theo Watson and Arturo Castro.
history
openFrameworks V. 0.01 was published by Zachary Lieberman on August 3, 2005. According to the programmers, openFrameworks is aimed at users who “use computers for creative, artistic rendering and want low-level access to the data contained in media in order to manipulate, analyze and explore. We found the available C ++ libraries to be insufficient for this target group. "
Similar projects
The focus of openFrameworks is on creative programming and thus draws clear parallels to the Processing software library , a Java-based application designed for electronic art and visual design. Both projects offer simplified interfaces to a large number of powerful software libraries for media and hardware manipulation and communication. The main difference to Processing (written in Java ) is that openFrameworks is written in C ++. There are many similarities between the two libraries - for example beginShape () in Processing is equivalent to ofBeginShape () in openFrameworks. In the openFrameworks wiki there is a detailed article about switching from Processing to openFrameworks.
Another similar project is Cinder (C ++ based framework for advanced visual applications), also a C ++ framework designed for creative programming. The main difference between the two is the larger number of links to other open source libraries from openFrameworks. This allows advanced programmers more control and greater transparency. Cinder, on the other hand, uses many libraries of the operating system on which it is running.
