Project Magnum

Magnum is the primary development framework of dimajix for 3d graphics and multimedia. Its main mission is the integration of 3d graphics into existing applications and creating desktop based virtual reality software. Of course the library can also be used for creating rich multimedia applications and games.

Magnum also forms the base for trying new graphics technologies and algorithms built on top of OpenGL. It includes many different technologies, which are largely independent and thus easily useable in many different projects. By an intensive and strict modularisation of the whole library, Magnum still can be easily enhanced and maintained.
