ofxQuartzComposition

This is an addon for openFrameworks to manage Quartz Compositions (.qtz files). See http://www.vimeo.com/16346790

Currently there is support for:

• loading multiple QTZ files inside an openframeworks application.
• rendering to screen (use FBO to render offscreen)
• passing input parameters (float, int, string, bool etc) to the QTZ input ports
• reading ports (input and output) from the QTZ (float, int, string, bool etc)

Todo:

• passing Images to and from the composition

How is this different to Vades ofxQCPlugin (http://code.google.com/p/ofxqcplugin/) ? ofxQuartzComposition is the opposite of ofxQCPlugin. ofxQCPlugin allows you to build your openframeworks application as a QCPlugin to run inside QC. ofxQuartzComposition allows you to run and control your Quartz Composition (.qtz) inside an openframeworks application.
