Addons extend openFrameworks with extra functionality (GUI sliders, OSC, 3D loaders, etc.). They live in the addons/ folder of the OF installation. Two integration paths exist: (1) the graphical projectGenerator tool — select addons from a dropdown before generating the project; (2) for Makefile projects, create or edit addons.make in the project root and list one addon name per line (e.g. ofxGui, ofxXmlSettings). Both paths wire the addon’s source and headers into the build automatically. Community addons are found at ofxaddons.com and must be placed into the addons/ folder before either path can see them.

Examples

addons.make (Makefile path)

ofxGui ofxXmlSettings ofxOsc

Assessment
