Open Inventor for Win32 from TGS
TGS provides the premier C++ 3D toolkit for Windows®
with Open Inventor for Win32,
on Intel, MIPS, Alpha and PowerPC platforms. Open Inventor
for Win32 is a robust, general-purpose 3D class library with the
Interactive Visual Framework
(IVF), the de facto
standard Open Inventor extension for Microsoft MFC.
TGS delivered the first Open Inventor product for the Win32 platform
over a year ago, and has released
4 updates since then. Check out how Open Inventor is being used.
Open Inventor was developed by Silicon Graphics tightly integrated
with OSF/Motif, and is source licensed by TGS. To bring Open Inventor
to the Windows platform, TGS designed a unique approach that is
tightly integrated into Windows NT and Windows 95, yet supports
migration to and from UNIX systems.
- Component Library - An extension to the core Open Inventor
SDK, this set of classes delivers a common look-and-feel to dialog
boxes specific to interactive 3D graphics applications. TGS has
implemented the Component Library on Win32 following Windows style-guide
specifications.
- SoWin - A unique implementation by TGS, this extension
to Open Inventor delivers a high-level interface compatible with
Microsoft's Win32 API specification. Developers wishing to extend
IVF, or wishing to build frameworks for XVT, Zapp, C++ Views and
others will find SoWin a powerful API. Open Inventor for Win32
is the only product to support SoWin.
- IVF - A unique implementation by TGS, IVF is the de
facto Open Inventor extension for Microsoft's MFC framework. Most
developers using MFC to build an application will find IVF a familiar
and extensible tool with which to implement interactive 3D graphics.
IVF delivers a number of Windows-specific functionality, including
access to Windows print services, MDI and OLE. Microsoft and TGS
are working closely to grow IVF to support emerging MFC technologies
such as ActiveX and Sweeper.
- IVF Custom AppWizard - Delivered with Visual C++ 4.1
and later, TGS provides utilities that can create 3D applications
without writing a single line of code.
- Translators - TGS provides free translators with Open
Inventor for Win32. Translation from DXF and a number of other
formats is included, as are utilties for ivtovrml, ivcat, ivquicken
and more.
- MBCS, Japan localization - TGS has enhanced Open Inventor
to include support for international character sets (Multi-Byte
Character Sets) and offers localized Japan resources for Open
Inventor dialogs. Using Open Inventor for Win32, your U.S. application
already supports International characters, and can be built with
Kanji dialogs! (Available in v2.1.1 and v2.1.2 from TGS).
- VRML - TGS delivered VRML support within Open Inventor
even before Silicon Graphics, and is active in the VRML Technical
Forum in the specification of VRML 2.

Platform support
The Intel release supports both Windows NT and Windows 95. Applications
developed on Intel will compile-link-run on our MIPS, Alpha and
PowerPC versions under Windows NT.
Open Inventor for Win32 has been tested with Windows NT 3.51,
Windows NT 4.0b1, Windows 95, and Windows 95 with OpenGL 1.1 b2.
