osgDotNet: Managed Wrappers for OpenSceneGraph
osgDotNet is a binding of the OpenSceneGraph libraries to the Microsoft .NET/CLR platform.
osgDotNet was designed to be used from C#, but can also be used from other CLR languages1. Other design goals were to adhere as close as possible to the standard C++ interface while supporting idiomatic usage from C#, to allow extensibility via inheritance, to minimize required maintenance with future changes to OpenSceneGraph, and to support low-overhead interoperability from managed code.
The osgDotNet wrappers are created with a code generator application that works off the OpenSceneGraph classes and methods exposed by osgIntrospection. This application produces C++/CLI wrapper source code for the OpenSceneGraph component libraries, which is then compiled into managed assemblies.
