A simple cross-platform C++17 library for developing computational 3D graphics applications.
- 3D mesh IO, manipulation, hardware and software rendering.
- Imaging IO, manipulation
- Linear algebra with solvers
- Ultra-simple declarative GUI (currently only implemented for Windows)
- Cross platform build file construction tool.
- Command-line interface tools with pretty-print.
- Unicode, filesystem, diagnostics, data packaging, etc.
- Support for VS2019,2022 on Win, gcc & clang on Ubuntu and MacOS. Warning-free compiles on -Wall.
- Emphasis on clear, correct code rather than premature optimization.
- Functional and declarative design in as much as makes sense for C++.
- Extensive use of return value elision.
- Declarative GUI layout, declarative dataflow graph for computations.
- Minimal OOP-fuscation; Some member functions and constructors, few private members, no impl inheritance.
- Templates are used when they provide clear benefit; Avoid complex template metaprogramming.
- Exceptions and RAII used throughout.
- Compiles out of the box; No dependencies, install scripts or special make packages required.
- Different compiler / configuration object files are kept in different directories for fast switching.
- Conventions: camelCase, K&R brackets, why-not-what comments.
- namespace Fg { varNoun, funcVerb, cNoun short for calcNoun, StructName, FG_MACRO }
