Mastering openFrameworks: Creative Coding Demystified
By :
Though openFrameworks' core has powerful capabilities for processing and generating various kinds of multimedia data, it does not contain everything. For example, the core does not contain support for depth cameras, processing the images using the computer vision library OpenCV, or sending and receiving data via a network.
For using such capabilities in your project, you would link and use any of the C++ or C external libraries that are available on the Internet. But, each library is different so using them in your project is sometimes easy and sometimes not. Fortunately, openFrameworks has a friendly mechanism for plugging libraries to your project. Such a mechanism is called an addon.
Most often, an addon is a class that acts as a wrapper for a library. Also, the addon contains the library itself in a form that is ready to be linked to your project binaries. This relation is shown in the following image:

The term wrapper here means that it lets your project and a library communicate...
