openframeworks – addons:

openFrameworks addons are additional third party libraries that can be added to your projects to extend their functionality. Each addon page will include detailed instructions and the files needed for easily integration with openFrameworks.

The motivation behind addons is to the keep the main OF library small and manageable, while at the same time allowing for the addition of other functionality, and supporting other libraries. If you have ideas about other addons you would like to see implemented, or would like to add an addon of your own, please see the discussion forum.

Additionally, it's our hope that the community can support the addons. For example, you can take the 0.02 release, add the opencv to it and make sure the example works, then post the whole project (apps / libs) online (ie, here's "OF_0.02_wOpenCV_devcpp.zip") so that others don't have to go through the steps of integrating. This will be a great help for the speed of development, meaning we won't have to continually support these libraries, but rather use the community to help make sure that everything on these pages stays healthy an up-to-date as openframeworks evolves.
