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: https://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 or NuGet packages

Instructions

The simplest way to use OpenTK in your project is to install the NuGet package.

Alternatively, download the OpenTK binaries 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)
