OpenTK
======
The Open Toolkit library is a fast, low-level C# binding for OpenGL, OpenGL ES and OpenAL. It runs on all major platforms and powers hundreds of apps, games and scientific research.
Use OpenTK to add cross-platform 3d graphics, audio, compute and haptics to your C# application. Integrate it into your existing user interface or use it standalone without any external dependencies.
Project website: http://www.opentk.com/
Official git repository: https://github.com/opentk/opentk
Features
========
- Create cutting-edge graphics with OpenGL 4.4 and OpenGL ES 3.0
- Spice up your GUI with 3d acceleration
- Improve your code flow with strong types and inline documentation
- Write once run everywhere
OpenTK is available for Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, *BSD, SteamOS, Android and iOS. It can be used standalone or integrated into a GUI (Windows.Forms, WPF, GTK+, Qt, VTK, ...)
[Download binaries](http://www.opentk.com) or [NuGet packages](http://www.nuget.org/packages/OpenTK/)
Instructions
============
The simplest way to use OpenTK in your project is to install the [NuGet package](http://www.nuget.org/packages/OpenTK/).
Alternatively, download the [OpenTK binaries](http://www.opentk.com) and:
1. Copy OpenTK.dll and OpenTK.dll.config to your project directory
2. Use "Add reference" to add OpenTK.dll as a project reference
3. Use "Add files" to add OpenTK.dll.config to your project, and enable the "Copy to Output Directory" option.
To build OpenTK from source, simply double-click OpenTK.sln and build through your IDE.
Alternatively, open a command prompt and type:
```
git clone https://github.com/opentk/opentk # Download source code from git
cd opentk # Enter the source directory
msbuild /p:Configuration=Release OpenTK.sln # Build on .Net (Windows)
xbuild /p:Configuration=Release OpenTK.sln # Build on Mono (Linux / Mac OS X)
```
News
====
OpenTK 1.1.4 was released on 21 July 2014.
This release resolves a number of identified issues, adds experimental support for Linux/KMS and synchronizes the OpenGL and OpenGL ES bindings with the July 2014 Khronos specifications.
**Changelog:**
1. Fixed a memory leak in OpenGL functions accepting a string array.
2. Fixed an issue where `MakeCurrent()` might fail on Linux/X11 when using the Nvidia closed-source drivers.
3. Fixed an issue where `GameWindow` might remain open on Linux/X11 after calling `Close()` or `Dispose()`.
4. Fixed a potential crash on Mac OS X systems without hardware acceleration (e.g. virtual machines).
5. Fixed function parameters for the `OES_byte_coordinates` extension.
6. Fixed an issue where OpenTK would always perform a full rebuild even when a partial rebuild could work.
7. Fixed all compilation warnings on VS2013 and Mono 3.4.0.
8. Improved OpenGL and OpenGL ES documentation on 'count' parameters.
9. New platform: Linux/KMS. You can now run OpenTK applications on a Linux terminal without an X11 display server.
10. New OpenGL ES extensions:
- ANDROID_extension_pack_es31a
OpenTK 1.1.4 is backwards compatible with 1.1.3. Users of previous versions are **strongly** encouraged to upgrade.
Known issues
============
1. The SDL2 backend has a number of limitations compared to the native platform backends. In particular, SDL2 does not support:
- `OpenTK.GLControl`. OpenTK will automatically switch to a native platform backend instead.
- `DisplayDevice.ChangeResolution()` without a fullscreen `INativeWindow`.
- Switching between `WindowBorder.Fixed` and `WindowBorder.Resizable`.
- High-resolution mouse input. Additionally, it is limited to a single keyboard and mouse device.
2. OpenTK.Input.GamePad.SetVibration is currently not implemented. This API will be implemented in a future release.
Contributing
============
1. Install git and a C# IDE (see requirements section below)
2. Fork the _develop_ branch of https://github.com/opentk/opentk
3. Commit your changes in small, incremental steps with clear descriptions
4. When ready, issue a Pull Request (PR) against the _develop_ branch of https://github.com/opentk/opentk

Some areas we could really use your help:
- Tutorials for OpenGL 3.x and 4.x. [Inspiration here](https://github.com/Groovounet/ogl-samples)
- New platforms:
- Native Client (NaCL)
- Blackberry
- Wayland
- Mir
- WinRT (via ANGLE)
- New features:

- Improved joystick support (HID backend for Windows, Linux)
Further ideas for improvement are always welcome!
Requirements
============
- Windows (XP/Vista/7/8), Linux, Mac OS X, *BSD, SteamOS, Android or iOS
- For graphics, OpenGL drivers or a suitable emulator, such as [ANGLE](https://github.com/opentk/opentk/tree/Dependencies/Readme.txt)
- For audio, OpenAL drivers or [OpenAL Soft](https://github.com/opentk/opentk/tree/Dependencies/Readme.txt)
- To develop desktop applications: Visual Studio, Xamarin Studio, MonoDevelop or SharpDevelop
- To develop Android applications: Xamarin Studio or the Xamarin Extensions for Visual Studio
- To develop iOS applications: Xamarin Studio and XCode
Documentation
=============
Your favorite IDE will display inline documentation for all OpenTK APIs. Additional information can be found in the [OpenTK Manual](http://www.opentk.com/doc) and in the [opentk/Documentation/](https://github.com/opentk/opentk/tree/develop/Documentation) folder.
Technical documentation about the implementation of OpenTK can be found in the [Technical Wiki](https://github.com/opentk/opentk/wiki).
