Development Environment
Libraries and Toolkits
If you are a developer interested in streamlining the
development process while expanding the scope of your work, we'd
like to make a few suggestions
Silicon Graphics (r) offers a complete family of toolkits
and libraries for developers that want to incorporate
interactive 3D graphics and integrated digital media
into their applications. Regardless of the type of application you're
developing--CAD/CAM, molecular
modeling, animation, scientific visualization, or
visual simulation--our toolkits and libraries can
make your job easier, help you get the job done faster,
and very possibly inspire you to do things you've
never thought of before.
The Development environment can be roughly classified as:
- Base Development: This consiste of IRIS
Development Option
(IRIS GL/Open GL,
ANSI C, and
IndigoMagic Development Kit)
and C++ Development Option.
- Specialized Toolkits: This consists of Performer, Impressario,
Inventor, and ImageVision
- Digital Media Libraries: This consists of IRIS Media Libraries for
Audio, Video, Compression, Movie, and Speech.
- Application Builder:
Explorer, a data visualization system.
- Software Development:
This consists of CASEVision (tm), a development environment offering
a uniquely visual approach to programming
All the libraries and toolkits are binary compatible
with Silicon Graphics full line of workstations,
servers, and supercomputers.
